If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If your pH is in the magic zone to a bit on the high side you don't need to keep the calc as high. If you think upping it will help, what about putting your top up water through a kalk reactor and use less 2-part to dial it in?

I've had the same thing. I've treated all my colonies, treated the tank.... saw nothing for a long time, didn't add anything... then bam! LRB! Wtf? Sometimes all it takes is a few missed bugs to eventually form a population a few months down the road. I typically don't worry too much about them if I don't see their numbers rising... then again, I don't have many smooth skinned acros that they seem to like.
