Calcium Through the Roof!

But I am not dosing the tank with anything except az-no3 for nitrate control and instant ocean which has the ca booster in it for water changes.

That's what puzzles me as to why it's so high!

When you say instant ocean with ca booster do you mean a salt mix or some other product?

 

Calcium bottle number 1 lot number: 69B0507
bottle 2 = 70B0207

 

And lemme guess you're measuring your salinity with a hydrometer. 1/2 cup per gallon will be 1.025 all day long.

 

Have you tested for Alk? By raising your Alk levels, that will lower your Cal level also. Luna

 

It is OCEANIC'S natural sea salt mix
it says on label: "contains calcium and natural trace elements"

Makes 90 gallons

 

it has calcium booster which you don't need cause you don't have anything yet using the calcium. get regular instant ocean and save what you have for when you do have corals or a need for the extra calcium

 

Alk is 10dkh

 

oceanic is what I use and it IS higher in calcium stop using it and use instant ocean or some other brand, until, like I said, you have the need. don't get anything that says reef salt, it's got the extra stuff reefs need.

 

The 05/07 means it was made May of 2007 and the 02/07 means.....well you get the picture. Its still good. Luna
