Coral pro salt is the worst.

I'm in the exact same boat, OP, and will be switching salt after reading this. Don't think my tank needs it. In the meantime, how do we safely bring down Mag levels (1600) and Cal (480) if there isn't enough coral to uptake the existing elements? Am thinking of grabbing a bucket of tropic marin since the chart shows it to be lower than average in both and just do frequent, small water changes. Any other suggestions to speed that process up?
Corals aren't the only things in our tanks that need these elements. Coraline algae for instance consumes massive amounts of calcium.

That must be why I've had sudden proliferation of it. Thanks for the advice, CodyRVA. My coral started having issues so quickly that it's hard not to fight the knee jerk reaction to counteract just a quickly.
 
What kind of salt do you use?
Instant Ocean for 12 years. For a year or two I moved up to Reef Crystals....
