dont think different size of tank would have any difference on this "standard".

IMO: calcium level do depend. if nothing in tank explicitly need them, a bit lower should be ok.

my calcium level is far too high.. wat can i do?

Bro Sotong, if you do a search in the forum, you'll find some interesting answer to your problem.

Any idea how 'high' is 'high' ....

[Sotong]

my calcium is 900+ ppm...

so easy just change h2o...

[zarkon]

Wah bro! How did you manage to get that high? Is there a ions imbalance going on in your tank?

[mUAr_cHEe]

so easy just change h2o...

dun forget the salt!!!!!!!

did came across a few cases of high calcium already....

always wonder do u guys dose toothpaste or something into your tank....

have you been topping up with kalkwasser or running with CR, and got nothing in your tank to absord all this calcium??

[zarkon]

ya lah.... is your coraline algea growing? At least you can see spot of them expanding... and that one sure to consume some amount. Maybe you should stop dosing and see if goes down by itself. Then adjust accordingly. Helps to better understand your reef , right?

whenever one found a particular chemical "feriously" high, always try a 2nd checking, best use different testkit, either your one chk is screwed up or you missed some steps.

If it high, it will eventually be brought down, so monitor for maybe few times 1st. Unless its creating ionic imbalance, like keep ###### away your KH.
