Just saw that you made a testing error. So just take my post above for what it’s worth.

Really... I would think you would begin getting precipitation at those levels...
8.0-8.1 pH is low? Okay... what do you suggest as a target range?
Okay, 500 ppm on Calcium is a testing error. And I'm guessing that the relationship of calcium to the other numbers in the chart make a calcium of 500 impossible?
When you said hyper-filtration, that makes me wonder what your no3 and po4 are at….especially po4. Without enough nutrients, the corals and other stuff won’t be able to metabolize the calcium in the water. This can cause the Ca to shoot up and dkH to drop.
This is what happened in my tank.
My po4 was at zero so I started dosing trisodium phosphates. Then I saw an explosion in coral growth. I brought my dkH up (which raised my pH) and the Ca came down on its own. Now my tank is stable.
Everything needs to be balanced…..including nutrients.
