Somethings not right. If your calcium is 800 is should be snowing in that tank.

Also, what does PO4 is fine mean? And no2 and ph?

How are you testing?

As for the "Corraline gro" toss it. The only way to get corraline to grow quickly is keep the chemicals balanced and stable.

I agree, something is off somewhere in your testing. What kind of salt are you using?

What are the units associated with calcium and magnesium readings?
