Randy Holmes-Farley I am a relative newbie although my tank is coming up on it’s one year birthday.
I had major surgery about 10 weeks ago. Calcium was 450. Tank has had partial water changes by my husband and a very large water change two weeks ago. We don’t dose anything now but today is the first time I’ve checked the water since my surgery (didn’t have anyone to do it) and today Ca+ 200 tested twice with Hanna. Have no idea how to bring it up safely.
I have Brightwell Kalk mixed up (1 gallon) on hand and ATI Essentials Pro 2 part on hand but not sure best way to go about starting to supplement it safely. I’ve already lost several stony corals.
Are other of the things I have on hand useful to raise calcium or should I get something that is only Calcium’s since pH and DKH are 8.3 both?
Haven’t checked Mg yet. How quickly (or not) should I try to raise it. I DO NOT yet have dosing pumps or reef controller.
