When I mixed up new water when I first started my tank my CA was at 500. It was ridiculous. It got to the point that I had enough corals using up the calcium that I turned my CA reactor off for 3 weeks, while still supplementing Alk until my levels were where I wanted them to be and then turned my reactor back on. I didn't know why my CA was so high either. Must be the salt.
