I have not been testing for calcium in my tank. However, I recently added a Frogspawn to my tank, which is the first coral I've purposely added (the other ones in there are hitchhikers).
SO, now that I know I need to test, is it necessary to get the Salifert brand, or would Instant Ocean be OK? Also, I seem to remember that pickling lime is a good way to keep the calcium elevated in that tank, is that true?
I know that we should be shooting for about 400 ppm. Is there a danger to it being higher than that? Any other advice? Thanks.
