Hello, reefers,

I was checking the parameters of my tank and I found out that Calcium and Magnesium are higher than the last test.
Is that a problem? If so, how can I fix this? Thank you!

They will go down either over time or with water changes (if they are higher than the salt mix). What test kits and what are the calcium and magnesium at.
