How do you add calcium additives to your water , mine is at 340 and want to raise it up some. Do you just pour the measured amount right into the tank, or into the sump, or what?

I add my additives in the sump return chamber and then the return pump blows them around the main tank

It depends on type. If it is granules like calcium chloride, you need to dissolve it in a cup, then add. Otherwise the granules can drift onto your corals and burn them.
