Calcium Trouble

bkbailes07 · 12/13/2006, 02:43 PM

ive had a 130 cube for about 8 months now and ever since i started it my calcium has been in the 500s or higher. i use reef crystals and my tank isnt very heavily stocked with corals demanding high amounts of calcium but i do have a very large frogspawn and 2 plate corals about 3" each and an acropora that is about 2". is this normal for tanks to have high calcium levels?

certain salt brands have higher calcium than others. Alot of people mix salts to achieve uniform parameters.
