Hi. I have an issue with high calcium in my nano tank. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations on how to reduce it? Or should I just leave it alone?

What salt are you running?

I have no experience with that stuff. Do they offer a lower calcium mix? I had to switch from orange instant ocean to purple and it’s been perfect since. 👌🏼

Here’s what I found. The calc range should be 400-420 in the salt itself.

I use All For Reef too and the alkalinity is definitely delayed in showing up on a test. It's a calcium formate converted to alkalinity by bacteria. On an established system it can take several days to see an increase show up on a test, at least that's how it's been with my system.

High calc can probs be chill if alk and mag are stable tho. Maybe dial down dosing a bit?
Alk and mag are fine. Only higher at the calc. Currently daily dosing the AFR
Gotcha! Maybe try easing up on the AFR dosing a bit and see if that helps calm the calc down. Sometimes less
Alright will try this method. Thanks mate
I also agree with the other guy as I have a feeling the AFR alkalinity is delayed or not showing up on test as I’ve had it happen many times when stating AFR even a month later but tends to show calcium while alk remains low on tests so yeah I would lower it as the other guy said and let it sit for awhile and hopefully alk will show up
