Well what test kit are you using and have you tried a different test kit yet? Are you dosing? I can't imagine you having high calcium if you're not dosing...and you dont have a lot of calcium demands in your tank already.

High calcium levels can lead to fast deposits building up on your equipment. IE your pumps and skimmer intake...which means more cleaning of the mechanicals will be required.

I'm not aware of any benefits of having too high of a calcium level...I'll let someone else chime in on that.
