Low calcium

[kenand]

How do I take care of the calcium level? Just got the
Test kit. Level is 140.

How big is the tank? Good water change should raise it significantly

I have a feeling it's a testing error unless salinity is also incredibly low or alk is also incredibly low.

90 gallon. I do a 10 gallon water change every week.

It was an error in my part. Read the Instructions
and youtube was better. Calcium level is 320. Do i beed a reactor or the calcium buffer stuff?

If the 320 ppm calcium is accurate (I still suspect error or low salinity; test your new salt water with that kit), you must use a calcium only supplement. No balanced alk and calcium method can raise calcium by 100 ppm because it would boost alk by 14 dKH.

As Randy said, you would just dose calcium back up. I like the BRS calcium chloride.
