high calcium levels

so.. after finally ballancing my chemistry and my CA reactor, my ca was thrown offballance by a water change with some old salt..
It is now off the charts....

with new salfiert kits...

CA 500+ [the test kits was just starting to turn when the tube ran out.. so I expect it is 500-530

alk 8.6

I am turning the reactor off for a day or two, and dosing alk.
but do you guys know how bad it is to run calcium levels that high?

Not that bad, high alk is what you have to worry about.

I agree that it won't hurt anything at that level.
