Calcium level 507

[gsw0716]

Tested my 10 gallon tank with both my hanna and salifert tester, the hanna read 507 calcium and salifert around 490 to 500, can never get the exact amount. Anyways. I know that's on the high side, and I'm not worried, but of course I dont want my calcium to go higher. I've been doing more small frequent water changes lately because my nitrates are a little elevated, but not dosing anything. The water I use is already premixed from my lfs, and they use reef crystals. Anyways, is there anything you would change? Or just stay consistent and dont do anything? It's a real basic reef tank right now with some zoas, cloves and an Acan. All open and doing well. Thank you.


My Alk is also 8.6
Ph. Between 8 and 8.2
Nitrates 15ppm
Salinity 10.24
Magnesium 1300-1352
Phosphates 0.01

If your coral are doing well, don't change a thing.

I recommend calcium at 400-550 ppm, so you are good for now. :)
