So all of my tank parameters are good except For calcium and Mag. My ALK. is 8.5-9 but my Calcium is 500 and Mag. is around 1450 My salinity is at 1.024. My PH is 8.0-8.2 I am not dosing anything at all just 10% weakly water changes. Can anyone help as to why my ALK. is fine but calcium and Mag. are so high. I use reef crystals salt. I have used API tesk kits as well butt Red Sea Pro kit. Getting the same results with both.
 
Probably mixes that high from just your salt mix. I use coral pro and it is high as well. They mix that high under the assumption that your coral will use the nutrients and be replenished during water changes.
 
A bit higher than average maybe but nothing to be concerned about provided they stay constant.
My torches and hammers seem fuller when I run 1420 ish anyways.
