Calcium dosing

bulk reef supply 2 part or calcium reactor is what i suggest for maintaining calcium after you get your salinity and parameters in line.

I usually use a Calcium reactor myself but I'm remodeling my Tank room and until then I to use Bulkreefsupply.com Bulk Mag,cal,chloride and soda ash for Alk.

The 2 part stuf right ? I was looking at the kit for it 59.99+ship

Yeah the starter kit is a good way to get started.

yeah it is a good way to start out and if you decide you want to upgrade some day to a less maintance system like a calcium reactor than you can. You also have the capability down the road to automate the 2 part for you.

That is a starter kit for a Ca reactor?? I was thinking about doing this but not sure. When I tested yesturday my Ca was 530 and Alk was 11

No Garrett it is a 2 part start kit.
530 Ca? what are to dosing for ml a day in cal? what's you Mag at? do you have another Cal test kit you can test side by side with? to make sure your test kit is accurate ?

if your handy you should look online there are alot of diy reactors that are really cheap to build

I dose nothing. I for some reason aways have high Ca. I di have a Salifert I will test it next to my API and see what they come up

Salifert is 500 and API is 520 so they are close

Dan. Here is a link how Ca reactor works and how to set one up. Pretty easy and straight forward if you have some patience.
