Might have been to much calcium added at once.

I'm thinking so. I added the recommended amount, but thats to buffer the CA to 440-460 now if my CA was only slightly low, say 400 it wouldnt have been so harsh, but with it down in the mid to low 300's its a big jump overnight. anyhow no more dosing for me for a while. "Go slow, let it grow" that should get tattooed on my forehead
