I have a 75 Gallon Reef with 40 Gallon Sump/Refugium. My Calcium levels are always right around 360. I use Reef Crystals for salt and I do not dose anything right now.I would like to see the calcium higher. What would be the best way to achieve this consistently. I would rather not get a calcium reactor at this point. I am very willing to set up a drip I just don't have any clue on what to drip and how much. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to raise your calcium your also going to want to know what you alkalinity is as well.
I would recoment that you use a 2 part system Like B-Ionic to get your cal and alk up to where you want them and then drip kalkwassser to maintain theses levels.
It will take some trial to figure out you kalk ratio to keep your water maintained but i would say start off with maybe 1/2 tsp per gallon.
Here is a calculator to help you figure out how much to add of what.
