Calcium too high

[crustytheclown]

So I set up two Brs dosers on digital timers recently. The Alk is solid at 9 but my Calcium is way high. Looks like i did the math wrong. Its 600. I figure it needs to go down. So should i just stop dosing calcium for a while till it goes down or should I slowly shave off some time off the timers?

Stop dosing calc, it'll come back down.

Ok. U don't think it'll crash back down to fast? Or through my alk outta whack?

Just let it chill. Test is a couple days. Keep dosing the alk.

IME, relatively, alk falls like a rock and cal falls like a feather.

You might see a slight increase in Alk as your Ca decreases...just keep an eye on the levels as you let your Ca get back in range.

I just started dosing this week too. My ca is at 550 on red sea kit. I am using Kent salt and read that Kent is usually high in Ca

Kent is really high in calcium

If you are using kent with a 10% water change a week I never dosed calcium. I use kalk to keep the calcium stable.
