Lance's 225 gal tank

Maybe because the temp of the water is down, now that the summer is over, so the corals are not using as much calcium?

Nope. We have air conditioning. Tank temp stays pretty constant.

Was just a guess... Does your tank get any light from outside?

Lance, any chance that you accidently mucked up the recipie? perhaps a double batch or something?

I don't see how I could have. Simple recipe: 2 cups of calcium chloride to 1 gallon of water. Pretty hard to screw that up, and I never, seldom, sometimes, frequently make mistakes.

I'm not sure but we have been having a lot less sun and the days are getting shorter... maybe that has caused your calcium consumption to go down.

Anything is possible I guess, but the corals are growing well so assumedly consumption shouldn't be down.

Yes a little in the afternoon.
