I’m currently dosing 60ml of both alk and Calc two part from brs. I’m also dosing 2000ml of brs pharmacy grade kalk throughout the day.

I can’t seem to get my calcium up to 410-450 and I’m afraid of over dosing and locking up my pumps and turning my sand to rock.

I only have 5 soft corals and a lot of Coraline algae growing but is it really sucking up that much calcium?

Should I even worry or try to adjust to get the level up? And if so how should I go about it. I even tried to cut back dosing to 40ml a day and the levels started to drop.
