Calcium Max?

[KookyNewky]

What is the maximum amount of Ca that should be in your water at any given time? Is there a Maximum and if so what is it?

I wouldnt push it over 480ppm. I like to keep mine between 420 and 450

I agree with Mike, 450 to 500 ppm.,however if you have a heavily stocked aquarium of corals they will absorb a higher level if you accidently overdosed with kalk.I have read that it can be dangerous to have a 600ppm. or higher for any period of time.HOPE THIS HELPS :wink:

High calcium throws off alkalinity balance
