higher salinity will indicate a higher concentration of all elements, including Ca.
Since the values are probably correct with the refractometer, and the info about dosing kalk, I think we figured out the high Ca
With a light stock of soft corals, regular water changes are probably enough to maintain calcium, no need for kalk yet.
