Reducing of Calcium and Magnesium level

[Sun Coral]

Dear reefers,

I have a big big problem with my calcium and magnesium level. They are over dosed now, how do I bring it down in the fastest way ? Thank you : )

What are measuring of those parameter? Normally water change should solve your problem.

Overdose will cause snowing due to calcium percipitation. If not snowing, probably your test kits not accurate or your kH a bit low.

What's your pH and kH?

I agree with Rockyboy's comment. First before doing anything drastic it's best to ensure you get an accurate ( via reasonably good test kits) reading of your water condition / parameters.

Get the results, if confirm that your calcium and mg level is too high, then the only way is to employ water change as suggested by other bros here.

Hi guys, thank u very much for the help. I had did a weekly 10% water change for almost a month but still high. I had bought 2 sets of calcium test kit n given same result of more than 500.

RockyBoy: my tank no snowing n yes my kh is slightly low. I'm afraid to dose kh and the rest now to control the calcium level and other parameter, correct me if I'm wrong ya. I will do another water change tomorrow n see if it helps. : )
