That's to low/
Clams need to eat as well, they are filter feeders and No3 need s to be around 2. ppm, many hobbyist keep the No3 at 5. as it works up good results for their corals.

I'm going to retest tomorrow. I've been adding phytoplankton, and dosing calcium this week. Hope it is enough to save it.

What is the best way to get No3 higher?

Ph is low too. To much carbon dioxide in the air not enough oxygen....if you have a skimmer I'd run the airline outside to get fresh air

Yep!
The Co2 in the house is on any given moment between 800 and 1100 ppm as outside will be 400 or below.

I'm not sure that's even possible. Is there something else i can do?

Co2 scrubber, easy to build yourself as well.

If the tank is close to a window or wall you could sneak it through a crack in the bottom of the window or still a hole through the wall to the outside just big enough for the tubing, and then caulk around it.
