Default Re: can too high cal & alk lvls kill ur coral?

Yes, it can stress out your coral, thus hurting their color and growth rate, but usually won't be enough to kill them. The most common issue people have in the alk and calcium levels get to high is that they will precipitate out of solution, thus going from high levels to much lower than ideal levels quickly.
