possible to show us your tank (any coral chip / rocks ) and best to know what you dose (mineral plus) for your tank.

your problem might be you just top up aged conditioned water. as your water evaporates, the mineral deposits in the tank remains. best if you do a water change once in a while ( 2 weeks ) with distilled water. it might helps to lower down your GH slowly to 6-8.
