I put some Purple Up in and my calcium has shot to 600. My alk is at 10.5. I'm using B-ionic 2 part as a supplement. Can I just dose the Alkalinity part until my Cal drops down under 500?

Why does the calcium drop with buffering kh?
I've always thought this article from Anthony Calfo summed the whole thing up beautifully:

What I can’t understand is if my kh is 8.1 for there to be 100 marbles and 8.1 representing say 30 marbles then the other 70 is calcium and must have a max value to be 100 I.e 600 after that you get precipitation?
