Thanks Laurie.

So far so good. Adding the calcium did exactly what I was hoping it would do; it precipitated a bunch of calcium and alkalinity out of the water column. Precipitate all over...powerheads are white. I will test later, and see how much progress there is. Corals still look fine.

That must be a bit of a relief

My RBTA has been moving around for the last week. Not far, just 6" or so, and he is on his own island so he can't do much damage as long as he stays attached. Freakin nem is stressing me out waaaaaaaaaay more than the alkalinity being at 17 dKH.

One of my maxi minis decided to take a walk awhile ago, very annoying. I see him every once in awhile always in a different spot. Wish he'd pick a spot in the open where I can see him and stay there!

Hope your RBTA settles down

Walkin nems is scary in a tank full of coral!

The alkalinity is down to 11 dKH this morning, so it precipitated nicely for me. Just have a white tank now. I guess I'm cleaning pumps this weekend...it could be worse!
