i think those levels are way to high. alk 7, Ca no higher than 410.

you do not have 0 phosphate. impossible. you may have 0, but without knowing the resolution of the test kit, you probably do not have 0.0, 0.00, and definitely not 0.000.

the biggest problem i have found when running high Ca is that it can build up on warm objects in the system. pumps and heaters. it can build up so much that it can melt pumps when the motor seizes. submersible pumps are notorious for this.

really high alk and Ca are not more is better. just keep it stable and at normal levels and all will be good. this is one of those things were trying to hard can lead to bigger problems later.

i like those levels.

if you can get a Mg kit i would at some point just to make sure that is right in line.
