why is it so high?
none of the salt mixes will end up with a Ca that high.
you sure the testing is accurate?

Check your kits - this was "just mixed" saltwater?

When I first started dosing Kalk, I had this problem. All I dug up online said to water change until the levels came down to the right range.

What type of test kits are you using?

And are you reading the results right side up? I know you Aggies like to do things backward! ;)
