Raising calcium
I need to raise the calcium level in my tank.I am using Tropic marin bio calcium. I am adding the max dose per day but it doesnt say if you can dose every day.I need to go from 100ppm now,to 420ppm.Iam bumping it up about 25-30ppm a day.
THANX in advance RAZZ |

Hi Razz
Im not sure w/that product but I would do it slowly w/any product....also keep an eye on your alkalinity and PH this will surely affect those too....Its not dire need that you get the calcium to 450 right away.....Whats very important is that you do it slowly while at the same time keeping a stable PH and Alk level. I would slow down to increases of 30ppm every 2-3 days

I've done it right and my clam has grown over 3 inches in one year.

I have been using Kent Turbo Calcium for the last year and everything is fine. Try it out.
