adding calcium WITHOUT dripping

[aliciak]

Is there any calcium additive that I can just mix with water and add directly to my tank without having to have a doser or other slow dripping method?
I recently got a tuxedo urchin that likes my corraline a bit too much and I hear calcium can help the corraline to grow faster (as well as be beneficial to all my other inverts). Yesterday he was wearing one of my striped mushroom frags as a hat. Wish I had a pic of that.

I use B-Ionic suplements but its a daily dose ... i forget some days but i test for Ca and Alk once a week to ensure its all stable.

Yes any of the two part liquid, balanced additives should be good. I too have used the B ionic, with sucess. Trick is not to add it to fast or to much at one time.

I used to add seachem reef advantage calcium (powder) and Reef Builder (powder) directly to my tank without dripping. Now I have a calcium reactor.

Hey,
I use aragaMIGHT (Made by CaribSea) in my top off water and my Ca levels stay pretty level. Works like a charm for me. I top off manually every day anyway so it's easy to use. Just my .02 Kent makes a liquid Calcium product that I have used in the past but I had problems keeping levels steady.
