I test my water last day my tank 200 gallon and the problem is the calciume is low around 200 ppm and the alk is high 15 magnesium is 15
What should I do now to rise calciume and reduce alklinaty?
I had seachem fusion 1 and 2 but I try to avoid to add full portion of fusion 2. My tanke is 50 days old. Any idea? Thanks in advance

Yes I did two or three time one of them big water change after cycling done, I was test the result b4 2 week it was ok but now from yesterday it is not good, I add magnesium supplment b4 1 week or more only half portion, and I add with it fusion 1 and 2 maybe the fusion 2 not good it includes alk like purple up.

I'd stop dosing and do water changes. you may be overdosing the alk and mag and its causing the cal to precipitate. Also take a water sample to your LFS to verify your test kits.
