Calcium Question
 

So I hadn't checked my cal in a while and had continued on with my regular maintenance schedule. This morning I noticed my toadstool looked a little ****ed off so I ran full tests on parameters. I ended up with

Nitrates 0
Nitrites 0
Ammonia 0
Phos 0
Cal 530 ppm
Alk 11 dkh
salinity 1.025

Should these high levels of cal/alk be a concern or should I just not dose for a couple days? I was planning on doing a 35g water change tonight anyways.

Nitrate nitrite ammonia and Phos were tested with API kit. Cal and Alk both with Hanna and Refractometer for salinity.

Should add that my tank has several sps with several lps and a few softies.

They are both a little on the high side but the key s they are BOTH on the high side. They are in balance so IMHO it should be ok.
Are you running zeo or any other programs?

No zeo. Just bio pellets, and carbon.

Ph did register a touch low though. About 8 even

I asked about zeo because I have read zeo and high alk can cause burned sps tips. I think it's ok and I've read I am numerous places high ca and alk can cause amazing coral growth.

I've never paid any attention to ph so no help there

Ok cool. I'm not over worried then. My sps look good and if a couple softies die off......well that's more room for sps :razz: Not that I want any die off.

Is the toady shedding maybe?

I thought hat at first but when I gave it a light blast with my baster a couple chunks blew off. I've got a devils hand right next to the toad and it looks normal.
