525.
Everything I've read tells me that I HAVE TO dose the two part in equal amounts. My first inclination is to simply skip a few doses on the calcium but this is in conflict with rule #1. My second thought on the situation is simply leave it alone, high CA shouldn't be a big issue and eventually the tank will go through a growth spurt and the CA will drop on its own.
You can allow the calcium to fall by just dosing the alk part. That's fine if you are confident in the calcium reading.
Or you can keep it were it is by dosing both parts equally. Calcium at 525 ppm in fine. You'll likely not notice any difference in the tank at 420 ppm.
Excellent, thanks so much for your reply. I’ll keep the calcium off until the desired target and start dosing in equal parts once I reach 420ppmAlk will not rise as calcium declines from 500 to 420 ppm, unless you add extra alkalinity.

In a softie tank I wouldn’t think twice about it. My 220 is sps only and having everything in the proper range is critical
