Sorry to come to this thread late, but I've been using Reef Crystals since the inception of my tank and the
Ca has not been above 370 before I started dosing. My initial batches of
SW were even a bit high in
salinity (1.027 on Salifert). It is interesting that you have measured so high without dosing. I'll have to double check my
Alk and my vat to make sure I am not precipitating the
Ca out before it reaches the tank...
Shouldn't Pam get her
Alk level up to avoid precipitation?
