Can't get Ca level down

[JurisHP]

I overdosed a Ca buffer a few weeks ago, and I cannot get the Ca levels down...it's hovering around 500. I have done major water changes and still won't budge much.

My Alk is being maintained at around 8 with a buffer and my CA Reactor is running, but I turned off the CO2.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I've had Ca levels that high. It will come down on it's own. You should be fine.

500 ppm isn't all that bad, and certainly not dangerous. I would ignore it. It'd take a lot of water changes to drop the level much.
