I have a very strange issue happening with my Calcium going up even though I am not dosing any.
My tank is only about 4 months old. 2 weeks ago when i measured calcium it was at 412. I decided to raise it to 450 and used the BRS calculator to figure out how much to dose. I did about 2/3 of what they recommended over the course of 2 days and measured again. It was at 470... i stopped dosing at this time. Fast forward a week and it's at 580... that was last night. I did a 10% water change and this morning tested again and it's at 595. I use the Hanna checker for this.
I use Tropic Marin Pro Salt. I will make another batch just so that i can test the salt.
My dkh is at 9 and i dose a little bit of alk to maintain that.
My water looks a bit cloudy today.
I have seen a few threads like this one without any real answers, but I'm hopeful you folks can help me think of something that might be contributing to this.
BTW i tested my RODI and it shows 16ppm. I ordered new resin to get that down to 1ppm.
