Any one tried this before? From my experience for about a month it seems to maintain your calcium level, haven't dosed for 3 weeks and I have plenty of coral.

Any one else?

It certainly does what it says it will do. :) I used Calcion in liquid and dry format for about the first three years of my reef. Get their Alkalin8.3 to maintain your alkalinity as well. (Even more important than calcium.)

Follow and fully understand the Advanced directions and you'll be an expert doser in no time! :) your stony corals will love you!

I still use this. Don't have to dose often. Then again, this all depends on how much SPS and LPS you do have in the tank.

FWIW

Just like Calcion, any dosing product worth it's salt (gah!) will have its concentration listed on the label:

E.g.
"Adding 1 mL to 1 gallon of water will raise calcium by x ppm."

If it doesn't have that printed on it (and you can't figure it out for yourself) the dont use it, I say. :)
