Have you changed anything? Done a water change?
Possibly a testing error

Unless you added a lot of calcium, it is likely just test error.

Using the Hanna calcium checker someone told me it could be due 2 low magnesium but not sure if that makes sense I’ve been dosing magnesium due to my icp test results they stated it was low

Did a water change last weekend

It doesn't make sense. No level of magnesium will make calcium rise.

The Hanna calcium checker is known for being frustratingly problematic. It is freakishly sensitive to tiny traces of calcium in the blank.

Salifert is a fine calcium kit.
