Default calcium tests high

Hello all-

I tested my pH and calcium this evening after a fairly long hiatus from testing. PH is off the map and calcium is 540 mg/L.

I have been dosing Reef Complete but only about a quarter of the label dose if that.

Should I be worried?

Nitrate, -ite undetectable. SG 1.026.

20G tall, year and a half old, 2 small fish, assorted soft corals, a few LPS. 110w PC lights, no skimmer, aquaclear filter.

thanks much

don

Dosing is a two part thing. A one bottle supplement isn't going to keep things in line over the long term.

Agreed get some good test results with reliable Salifert test kits.
