:help: Anyone....
I am looking for a way to lower my calcium levels in my tank. After testing the tank water the calcium was at 625. I then decided to test a 5 gal container that i mixed up to see what the calcium levels were in the water that I was doing the water changes with. This water tested at 600. So I am now wondering what steps to take to lower the calcium. I stopped adding calcium buffer to the water some time ago, and the only additives that i currently add are DT Phytoplanton, and Marineland Reef Solution. I add the DT's about twice a week and the Reef Solution about twice a week as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :notsure:
Thank You,
Scales.

Well if newly mixed SW tests at 600, there is definatly the problem there. What salt mix are you using and are you mixing it with tap water or OR? Many cities tap water contains a lot of calcium.
