ok, I have a 55 gallon tank with various lps and softies in it. I was dosing randys 2 part for some time but decided I was going to build a kalk reactor. I got this reactor up and running and stopped dosing alk and ca. Things have started looking a little rough the past few days and it looks like one of my chalices is showing white through so I ran the battery of tests. Alk is 9.5, mag is 1550, and heres the kicker, according to my elos ca kit my ca is 1225. I have 1 cup of wages pickle lime in the reactor. Is it even POSSIBLE to have a ca of 1225? I use reef crystals as a salt and like I said I dont dose anything. I tested twice and came up with the same number. Any ideas?
help with calcium, either my test is way off or im in trouble!

325 ppm calcium is pretty low for RC. Are you sure you are at 1.0264 ?
Your mag number is way off as well unless you have been supplementing magnesium . That sounds like test kit error.
