I know I'm a ways off as my tank just finished cycling and I only have two shrimp and two fish in QT. But just curious: my levels all seem good except Calcium:

Temp 76
pH 8.1
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 5-10
Phos 0
KH 9
Calcium 500
Salinity 1.025

I'm assuming calcium is high since I started the tank with dry rock- just a theory. But I was wondering if everything stays stable, will the addition of corals reduce the calcium levels as they use it? If not how do I work on getting this down?
