I have high calcium. are there any side effects to high calcium? It's at 520ppm I like it to be between 450 and 500ppm. Other than the obvious water change and the wait it out game is there any other way to drop calcium?

No need for a water change IMO. 520ppm is higher than recommended but not that high enough to cause any problems.

How did it get that high ? Salt mix...... additives ?

I dose with 2 part B ionic and I tested and it was a little low. So I was going to do a water change today anyway so I figured water change then dose. However, stupid me, I should have tested after the water change and then dosed if needed but it was late and I was tired. I dosed and then thought hmm lets see where its at. and here I am lol.
