first your Ca is way up there, let it dimminish to about 400 ppm (natural sea water is 380 to 420 ppm) and there are several opinions that a higher Ca can actualy slow down coral growth as much as to little.
aside from that 9 or 10 is a natural level for a Ca of about 380 so if you try push it up you are most likely going to just pertisapate it back out. you will find as you drop your Ca levels it will be eaiser to bump up your Alk with baking soda.
