Calcium levels
I did my first calcium test did it three times to be sure. the brand of test I did was a Seatest by Aquarium Systems. All three times my levels came out to 570mg/1 I've been told that between 400 to 450 is where I want to be. Am I in big trouble what should I do? Any input you guys have would be great thanks.

What is your [acronym:1d1c56d4e0="Alkinity"]alk[/acronym:1d1c56d4e0]? I'd look for a precipitation event, if your [acronym:1d1c56d4e0="Calcium"]CA[/acronym:1d1c56d4e0] is actually that high. The last Fastest I tested with a reference was nowhere near accurate. I would recommend a salifert [acronym:1d1c56d4e0="Calcium"]CA[/acronym:1d1c56d4e0] test or a seachem [acronym:1d1c56d4e0="Calcium"]CA[/acronym:1d1c56d4e0] test and try again.
