What do you keep your calcium level at in your reef?

Well?

Well, I'll bite. Mine is a bit on a high side at 550 ppm at the moment but I adjusted the calcium reactor and it should come down to 425-450 ppm-that is what I like my calcium level to be.

Ditto, with a balanced alkalinity...can't have the steak without the potatos

Mine's at 450 ppm, or at times 470.

I keep my tanks at 420 ppm of calcium and alkalinity at 3.0 meq/L.
