Alk dropping and Calcium going up?

[jaysreefs]

Hey everyone,

so I’m trying to stabilize my parameters and get a good dosing schedule going but my calcium keeps rising and my alk keeps dropping pretty fast. I know that they are connected and that’s why that’s happening. My alk is currently around 10 dKH and my calcium 501ppm (trident system testing). How can I get these to stabilize and get my calcium back into appropriate range? I was dosing Red Sea foundation to compensate for my alk dropping. My magnesium is in the good range and only seems to lower a bit on 24h.

It might run a few independent non-Trident tests to verify this (in the event you haven't already) with a Nyos, Salifert, Hanna (etc.) test kit.

Were you able to fix the problem? If so, how?
