I'm currently adding ESV B-Ionic, a two part formula to raise Alkalinity and Calcium. I've been adding 10cc daily (per the dosing instructions on the bottle) of each additive. My Alkalinity started at 7 dKH and is now at 9-10dKH. My Calcium is still hovering around the 320ppm mark. My other water parameters are as follows:
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
PH 8.0-8.3 depending on time of day I check it.
Ammonia 0
Phospahtes 0
Any ideas what would be keeping my calcium from rising higher?
Inhabitants include:
38 gal aquarium
1 Peppermint shrimp
1 sm Regal Tang
2 sm Montipora
1 sm Green Star Polyp
1 Green Florida Ricordia
1 Brittle star
1 lg feather duster
1 Neon Goby
1 Super Tongan Nassarius snail
2 lg Turbo Snails
2 Astrea snails
4 blue legged hermit crabs
1 scarlet hermit crab
