for 3+ weeks my Cal has been very high. it was off the charts and now its finally in range to read but it has taken so long to drop. i've been doing 5g+ water changes in the tank every week. here are my readings...
46g bow front with a moderate coral load.
Cal 580
alk 12 - this was running 5 3 weeks ago but i've raised it since.
ph 8.3 - steady everytime i test
no perceptitation in the water.. mag levels were fine when i checked 2 weeks ago but cant remember the reading. to double check i took a water sample to MS and it was the same..
I'm not dosing anything except to keep my alk up and coral vital which i too thought was a snake oil but the corals keep looking better and better since i started dosing so it must be good for something..
maybe my only shot is to do several water changes over a week or so.
