Calcium levels over 600.......what is best to do?

What salt brand are you using?

I am setting up a new system using IO and have high readings.

From my understanding, high levels of calcium do not cause adverse effects on anything except on inverts. Corals can only absorb so much. With a high alkalinity, it can be a problem - but if your alkalinity is fine, I don't think there is much to worry about, except for calcification doing damage to pumps and equipment.

If you do a dramatic decline in calcium, you would also see a decline in alk.

You are much more educated on the subject than I am. However; the article above might help your mind ease regarding the increase.
