I recently got a ICP test that indicated my calcium was at 5:80. The other parameters or within limits. I board a friends handler checker to verify these results.
I suspect my calcium level has been at this level for at least 6 to 7 months because of a bad calcium test kit. The day I collected the ICP sample it read 420.
I have a Red Sea Reefer 350 with an estimated 60 gallons of tank water volume.
I stopped my 2 part dosing and Kalc since receiving the results last night.
My Colima, should I add alkalinity to maintain the 9.5 level while allowing the calcium to come down naturally or should I do persistent water changes to bring it down quickly? All my corals, except for one, appear to be thriving.
Thanks
Ricky
