Marine Additives..

Post by bigfatfish »

I believe I need to increase the calcium in my newly established tank, as I now have a few soft corals. Is at 390-400. Can anyone suggest a good product to use? Also, should I be adding anything else?

ps I am completely new to this & learning as I go along!

Prestone Driveway heat or I use Pedlow pellets--just read the ingredients. It should ONLY contain calcium carbonate. You MUST also check your alkalinity & magnesium & dose all 3 accordingly:
