You should be able to let it drop on its own. Just supplement alkalinity only until the calcium level is better.

i skimmed that article and dint see my exact problem of high calk w/all other perm in order.....

how long do you think it would take before the calk get on track?? i only thing in my tank that use the calk is coraline and 1 lps..

That's hard to guess. The Ca isn't high enough to do any damage, in my opinion, so I wouldn't worry.

I wouldn't worry either. There is no problem with 480 ppm.

Think of it as one more think you don't have to add for a while. I did the same exact thing because my calc test was old. The new one was 80 ppm higher.
