Hi Experts, My tank parameter been fine but having some issues with high KH & Calcium for a few weeks now. This week for some reasons my nitrate shot up to 20, so I decided to do wc.. while it helped to bring down my nitrate.. my KH & Calcium still in a high range still. Here are my tank details:
Tank: 200L AIO

Salt: Red Sea Coral Pro
Salinity: 1.026

Test kit: API
Dosing: Manual as needed based on tests
Parameters before wc:

PH - 7.8
Calcium: Off the chart as API stops at 26 drops/520ppm
Nitrate: 20
Nitrite: 0
Phosphate: 1.0
Ammonia: 0.5
Parameters of newly prepared/mixed water:
KH: 16 drops (not sure why)
PH - 8.4
Calcium: Didn't test (I should have done it)
Nitrate: 0
