I am not sure if this is a Trident thing or something to be concerned about. It seems my Calc rises, and that has been happening for a month or so, so I have adjusted dosing of 2 part BRS pharma (Trident controlled dosing with Neptune DOS). I decreased the dos of both sides of the 2 part but the CALC keeps rising while the ALK is dropping. I turned off the CALC side of the DOS 2 days ago and it doesnt seem to be having much of an impact. Nothing was changed on the 24th or since. Am thinking this might be imbalance caused by not enough dosing of both ALK and CALC, as Randy has suggested in the past. Would you guys recommend just bumping up both CALC and ALK with a CALC that is currently this high, or continue with increased ALK and CALC turned off. Thanks- tank is 18 month old with only 10 or so smaller corals/frags. Trident measurements are close to Hanna checker readings. Additional parameters:

PH- 7.99
Sal- 33.9 ppt
Temp- 80.5
N03- 3.8 with 'Hanna Checker
PO4- .06 with Hanna Checker
