Your ca too high, try to bring down to between 400-500ppm range, KH is ur alkalinity or carbonate hardness. Mg is suppose to be between 1200-1500mg/l. How come urs is only 0.5mg/l?
How to lower ca,will get a KH test kit before i start on sps,may i know wat is mg

R u dosing any calcium additives in the first place? U have to stop dosing and wait for it to drop to normal levels, u can cont'd with water change. Mg is magnesium.

It's not really critical to test but if u wan to learn on how to maintain your mg levels, it wil be gd too. As stable mg helps in keeping your ca & kh stable too. U need mg supplements if ur mg below 1200mg/l. Btw u using filter wool, bio balls & coral chips in your first compartment? Be careful as it will be a nitrate factory in the long run if u dun wash or change them.

U can wash it rodi water or put it back in or wash it with old tank SW during WC and put it back in. If u going to use tap water, better to let it dry before putting back in ur sump.
