Default HELP! Too much calcium!

Hey,

Hoping you all might have some help and suggestions to offer. I have a problem with too much calcium in my tank. I have verified w/ multiple test kits (and my LFS) and the level in my tank never drops below 650 ppm.

I have 5 stage RO source water and it also never goes below 650. My tank is a 46 Gal with skimmer, sump, wet/dry, Fluval 404, denitrator, phosban reactor, metal halide lighting, 65 lbs fiji live rock, live sand and healthy fish. Tank has been running for over three years and this problem has never gone away. I do not add any calcium supplements.

Corals (except Brown button polyps that are fine) do not last more than a few months at best. This includes anemones and clams as well. Any ideas?

Thanks!:confused:
