Hi!

Sounds like good advice ;-) I do agree that the Purple Up additive is probably responsible for the unbalance between the calcium and alkalinity. BTW, the calcium is now down to 520, a nice drop in a week from 560.

Would there be any merit of adding more alkalinity to balance the high calcium?

I've really cut back on the feedings, basically only feeding the fish right now. Phos has dropped already since cutting back on Thursday to .4 ppm. That's without the phosphate filter I haven't had a chance to install.

Thanks!

Lucy
