just be patient it will lower on it's own,, your corals and stuff will use it,,,,i had the same problem couple of weeks back,, let it go and didn't keep an eye on it now it's really low,,,but i can work with that,,,but trust me that is high but nothing that bad it won't hurt nothing

I would let it drop on it's own - you may want to check your test kit unless you are sure it is ok - that is pretty high and I would definately stop dosing any CA related supplements. Just curious - what is your alk and pH like? They all swing together - just interested...

If it bothers you, try a 10-20% water change. Personally, I wouldn't worry.

blu-thang,

If your calcium is that high, you might want to keep an eye on your alkalinity and pH.
