This still baffles me that Im getting precipitate as I have had similar readings as this except my mg was lower.
I think if you add calcium you will increase precipitation at this point. Try and get your magnesium up to 1350 before adding calcium imo. If you plan on running your Alk that high long-term, I'd even consider going a bit higher with the mag
