Please i need advice. I had a problem in my ATO and my salinity rose in a couple of months for 1034sg. My calcium is reading 600 in hanna test.
I've started to lower salinity by removing 4liters (from a 190liters tank) each day and adding RO water.
I ve suspended calcium dosing in my balling 3 part system until it reaches 450 or so.
Knowing that my raise in calcium levels came from salinity rise, should i really stop dosing calcium?

Thanks

If you drop sg = 1.034 to sg = 1.026, calcium will drop from 600 ppm to 459 ppm.

Id hold on dosing for a few days. Then resume.
