    dkh is at 9
    calc is 480
    mag is at 3000+
    going to change about 15 gallons and retest and see what that does
    i might just do water changes every other week till levels are back to normal
    oh and ph is 8.2

    15 should be plenty, I thought you would be alright. Now that Tangster says so you have nothing to worry about LOL! As far as your Kenya Tree is concerned I warned you in an above post your corals might double in size in the next 24 hrs!!! I'd do the WC and let it go. Good luck, let us know what happens!!

    I would do 5gal at the time, maybe every other day and check it specially
    DKH, CA, and the Mg. every time you change that amount your mg. is goin to drop a whole lot while your calcium is going to increase really bad, tested first and do wc slowly
