Default Re: No Sump....Help managing Calcium Level....

Calcium level has increased to 225 after two more days of dosing. Tested all parameters before doing a 20% water change. PH was up from 8.2 to 8.3 & ALK was up to 6.5 from 5. What do I need to be adding to keep the alkalinity from shooting up when increasing the calcium? I thought the 2 part Calcium additive was supposed to keep the Alkalinity in check while raising the CA level. Am I missing some thing? Other than the CA level being low, the tank is doing great. I also have had a Yellow Finger Gorgonian & a Florida Condi Anemone in the tank for 3-4 weeks now and everything is doing well. Tank has been running around 3 - 3.5 months now. All fish are doing well also. Noticed today that the coraline is starting to take off a bit on the Fiji live rock.
