I bought the aqua forest salt from the group buy few months back . Not sure if nots normal but it’s mixing very low on alk and mag and super high on calcium ( rough 6-6.5 alk, calcium is 600+, and mag is sub 1200. While I do have some coral, problem is that something is draining my alk, and not enough calcium . Tanks using .7-1+ points of alk daily. Should I be concern. Levels attached IMG_1557.png
 
are you dosing anything that could be causing it to precipitate?
The only think I’ve dose is BRS alkalinity to stabilize the levels. I haven’t had time to batch up another salt mix to test yet. Been busy getting prep for surgery this upcoming week.
 
got it, focus on your surgery, but I would recommend getting your mag up over 1300. I recall when my mag dipped below 1200 my alk/calc consumption was out of whack and I couldn't get it to balance.
