I just tested my water for Ca, KH, Mg using Red Sea Pro test kit. Tested twiced and got the same results.

 

1.025-1.026 sg

 

Ca - 510

KH - 5 meq/L 14 dKH

Mg - 1600

 

Bought some seachem kalk to use but these levels seem high right? All i have been doing is 5 gal weekly WC using Reef Crystals. Only keep a couple corals that seem to be doing good. What should i do? Lower them keep them and not add anything else?

Thats what i was thinking but i think my swing arm hydrometer might be off, ill buy a refractometer and test a fresh batch.



Test a batch of water before you put it in your tank to see what it tests at.

Can those levels be dangerous or are they still ok, i plan to start adding more corals but i want to have my levels stable before adding anything else.

Maybe your running like 1.027 or higher specific gravity? That would give you numbers like that.
