nano calcium

[jermpool]

How do you nano owners keep your calcium levels up?

I don't currently have a nano but IMO the best way to keep up with your parameters on a smaller tank is by dosing 2-part.

I have had this problem as well. I just rescently got advantage calcium by seachem, and have been trying to dose my tank every day. I need to test my calcium levels again, but im hoping this helps raise it, mine was down to 350ppm, fortunately i dont have any sps!

I use Seachem's Reef Complete for Calcium and Seachem's Reef Builder for Alkalinity. That combined with using Reef Crystals keeps my levels pretty steady and high.

I use Kent supplements. Nano A & B 2 part but I usually need to use some added Kent Liquid Calcium

I use Reef Advantage in my make-up water and make a water change once a week religously. During the week, my topoff water is saturated with Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime. My ca rarely falls below 400ppm

I do 20% weekly water changes on my 12 and 2.5 gallons and add a bit of Kent 2 part solution in between. Seems to keep my calcium levels about where they should be. Having said that, I just added JBJ auto top-offs to both tanks with a common 10 gallon reservoir. I'm thinking about putting some kalk in there to supplement calcium since I now have a few small SPS.

Yes you can basically keep up your trace elements with a regular water change routine. ;)

I have been using Brightwell Code A and B and may tank calcium and alk have been very stable since I started using them. What is B-ionic that everyone is talking about?
