Ty me also, it was kinda stressing.

So after the move my parameters are great minus the calcium and alk.

Calcuim is reading 500 and alk is 13.

Mixed up salt and water was reading 480 calcium and 11 alk. Did a 20% water change and it didnt budge. I do not dose anything either. Everything was fine before the move any ideas?
 
What salt are you using? What numbers are you shooting for? I don't thing there is anything wrong with your Params. Especially since you are not running EcoBak.

Regular instant ocean, numbers in trying to get to are 450 calcium 11 alk, thought high alk inhibits acro growth?

As Ryan said your parameters are fine, I wouldn't go any higher than 11dKH and if you're not running a ULNS I wouldn't get below 9dKH. Just make sure you keep your magnesium up and phosphates and nitrates down.

Water changes frequently and your levels will stable out. I was running IO and had no issues.

Alk has dropped to 12, calcium has stayed the same at 500, I dont have a test kit for mag.

Low magnesium could be the issue, if the magnesium isn't right it will inhibit calcification. All three need to be balanced for proper coral growth. I suggest getting a magnesium test and testing them.
 
So i ran out of money before i could buy a mag test kit.

Let tank sit till today and did a 10 gallon waterchange.

Alk is still 12 and calcium is still 500
Lost most of the lime green acro, It started turning white from the bottom up :( Also lost all the blue/green w brown polyps acro same thing white from the bottom up :cry:
Everythign else looks fantastic. Also lowered my light to 9" above the water from 13". Fooled with the skimmer till I got it skimming again,cleaned sump/tank fragged more bam bams.

When the blue/green acro frags I sold to yall grow id so love a piece back if possible. Even if its a tiny one. Also my gf sprayed glade into the room and every fish I had minus the 2 chromises died :( so wanna scream out!!
