My Calcium is riding at about 500..... i would like to get it closer to 400.... How can i go about doing this?
 
What is your salinity? What do you use to measure it? Is it calibrated? If you're using a swing arm type hydrometer, and it's giving you erroneous information, you could be adding too much salt mix, which, by extension is adding too much Ca (among other things) too.
 
I unplugged my solenoid to my ca rx, so ill start there and just manually dose alk, mg,
