I just tested my calcium and im not evening going to say it was so low and i feel bad for my corals. I was wondering what you guys dose to keep your calcium steady. Thanks Hope I can get a good answer.

I use B-Ionic 2-part made by ESV.

Do you use that with a calcium addative or do you just use that?

B-ionic is a 2 part calcium and alkalinity buffer.

It comes in 2 bottles and you should dose equal parts from each bottle.

Before rushing out and buying it though do a large water change and test your levels again.

What salt are you using? I use Red Sea Pro Coral salt as it has higher CA levels.

In addition to B-ionic Kent makes a 2 part called nano A & B, same thing.

And if you really want to get your levels up to where they should be fast the additives I like to use are Kent Turbo Calcium, Seachem Reef Builder (Alkalinity) and Kent Tech M (Magnesium). Then you could use a buffer like B-Ionic to keep the levels where they should be.
