Don't see why not, my calcium read 620ppm yesterday.

Yes it can.

ok thanks guys.. I didn't know you can have high cal when alk is normal.

Mike what test kit are you using?

 

[sfsuphysics]

Ummm, I think it's the Marine Pharmicudicals, or something like that whatever those kits are the ones that are usually seen in large chain places.

high concentrations of calcium will not hurt the acropora corals? please elaborate further, thanx.

 

[Ti]

nope, won't hurt them

 

[Chaotic Reefer4u]

thanx ti...

I was getting higher reading than 450 as well... eh' I won't bother with it.. figure with all the corals and inverts.. calcium will be consumed in no time...

Yeh, they eventually suck it up.
