Calcium #'s

[jwill275]

I'm trying to bring up my calcium but I can't seem to get it over 280. I'm using the Kent Calcium additive. My tank is 120 gal/phospahate - 0 / amonia, trite and trates 0 / hardness 11.3.
I tried purple up for a couple of days, the corraline algae appears better but my calcium is stll low. Any help is appreciated. I have three fishes, all small - sailfin tang, tomato clown, flame hawkfish.

What is your PH? What else are you dosing?

When was the last time you did a water change.

 

[jwill275]

Just did a 15 gal change this morning, ph - 8.1

It's either your test or your not changing water often enough. Turbo Calcium doesnt change calcium levels quickly. Each dose only increases calcium by 10-15ppm. I'm going to pm you a reef calculator too
