What problems will you see with a calcium @ almost 600 and an alk of 12.2dkh

i have a duel chamber calcium reactor, and a kalk reactor
all my top off runs through the calk reactor..

lol...a little new to the sps thing
i would raise the ph on the controller at least .25 min
also if your tank is not using the calcium then it will just build up
what is the tanks ph

reduce bubble counter and raise pH out of reactor to 7.0, always check your discharge on kalk reactor---needs to be 12 dKH or higher..old kalk will mess with alkilinity..

hey yznhmr...i think theyeg wants to see a REAL reef tank, as far as the whole schor thing..., anthony is the only one who has an inkling of what to do...im surprised he's not wearing a diaper... his butt has to look like SWISS cheese...us "old timers" have seen a lot of shops come and go, so you guys better get it while you can...
