Calcium high range

[Yasser Mahmoud]

Dear all
I keep calcium range 470 ppm in my mixed reef and fish tank
Calcium 470
Mg 1410
Kh 9.8
Ph 8.2
Can me know any problem in this case in my tank

My understanding (and I'm not a chemistry expert by far) is that Ca and KH have an inverse relationship. A high Ca can actually contribute to suppressed KH. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone with more chemistry knowledge will correct me.

Looks mint to me.

What do you mean by mint?

He means it looks good.

Your calcium is a little high, but not bad.

Yes sorry, old expression. Your numbers look good to me.

إنه يعني أنها تبدو جيدة.

الكالسيوم مرتفع قليلاً ، لكنه ليس سيئًا.

I know it should be between 380 and 420 to be good

My Ca is 497 as I type and Alk stays around 8dkh. I dose Ca, Alk, Mg and Part C daily to keep things in check. I would not worry about it being 470. However, unless you have a large population of LPS and\or SPS, there's no reason to have it that high.

RedSea has a reef calculator to help with determining parameter levels to achieve desired results within your tank. It's not necessary to use their products...although they would certainly like that!
