Calcium Low

[artskoi]

My tank is at Calcium level of 125.I want to get to 420-450.I use either Kent Tech A&B or Sea Chem Reef Complete.How fast can I put the calcium in?I put in three doses of what they call a daily dose in one day and did not change the Calcium.I use a Sea Chem Calcium Test kit to measure.Can this low level of Calcium stress my Mushroom corals.Thanks for your help.

I try to raise and stabalise calcium and alkalinity useing seachem reef builder and reef complete......I started a rotation of the 2 products and kept them added on a regular basis.....once the desired levels are achievied...then start adding a regular amount of kalkwasser to help maintain the levels.....but try to test and stabalise both calcium & alkalinity...........does take time........

The products you are using will not raise your calcium and therefor your problem.
Use Kent Marine Turbo Calcium, you can raise Ca to 450ppm in a day.
If you don't have Hard corals, then 350ppm is all that is recommended.
