I noticed my 14 month old SPS dominate tank has been running for the last month or so with a Calcium level above 550.
Parameters:
Salinity 35
Phosphate .03
Alk 8.2
Magnesium 1350
Nitrates 0
Calcium 550-600

I have been using Triton other methods for about 6 months and dosing my 200 gallon tank 48ml daily. I am also using a small refugium.

Any advise???

Two methods: DI what Civics says and stop dosing. It will take awhile to come down on the order of weeks or months. Or you could do a couple of really big honking water changes.

I stopped dosing cal over 6 months ago and my cal level still not going down, 500 plus and my alk is 13.7.
i do roughly 130L water change each month and still no change.
