Aside from investing in a co2 system and Ca reactor, what is a good way to maintain Ca lvls? I do biweekly water changes. I like to keep it between 450 and 500, it currently dropped to 400.Dosing with liquid Ca? Any input would be greatly appericated. Thx
 
From looking at your avatar it appears that you dont have any/very few SPS and some LPS... so either once a week or twice a week will do just fine depending on your bio load

There are calculators out there to figure how much Part A or Part B needed to maintain a certain level.
Personally I just use some Mrs Wage's pickling lime. You get 16 oz of powder for 2.29. I do a tablespoon per 2 gallons and my calcium is 420ish and my alk is around 8

I have not had much sucess with the two part solutions. I am running a 125 full reef and use SEACHEM reef advantage it has been stable and easy to use.
