I've been trying to raise my calcium levels (using purple up, currently, cause i have 2 bottles)

I have to do a water change of 4 gallons tomorrow..

Just wondering if i used Nutri-Seawater.. according to their site it says Calcium levels are 7.088 mg/L

Been trying to figure out what that means in PPM..

Any helps ?

That's what I thought. So misleading. How can they say it it's perfect in all levels.

Currently my take calcium levels are at 300. Trying to get it up there so my hammer coral survives.

Which is another question. Do hammers NEED 400-420 calcium levels?

Here's my comment from another thread:

"If you actually believe what they wrote there, that is a truly horrible product, IMO. Even ignoring the typically exaggerated claims that many manufacturers make, the actual product specifications are simply ridiculous. I have to believe they are not even accurate and may just reflect a whole bunch of typos."

FWIW, some folks have tested it (mentioned in the thread above) and found that their numbers are probably incorrect.
