You should lower your salinity to 1.024-1.026. Do it very slowly.
What brand of salt mix you use? If you lower your salinity the ca level will drop accordingly.
I recommend you check these parameters on weekly base:
Salinity, ca, alk, mg, po4, no3. Keep it on excel chart so you can identify if your system develop some tendency to go to the wrong direction.

Hi,

I use Reef Crystals, My SPS at the moment consume my Ca fairly rapidly
I had been looking to maintain salinity at around 35ppt or SG at 1.025 / 80f degrees.. All other parameters are great .

Thanks for the reply.
