[Calireefer92]

Hey reefers quick question just tested my cal and alk. My alk is 7.9 and cal is 588 should I do a water change or dose alk to bring it up?

I aim for around 8 - 8.5 or so. Ca seems a bit high to me tho. Does your salt mix that high?

Maybe your testing kits or procedures are off? When I test my new IO salt mixtures, it is almost always 9.0-9.5 dkH and 400-420ppm Calcium.
