i cant seem to keep my calcium at 400-425. I never really realized how low my calcium levels wre until i started testing for it. I used to use "purple up" once a week and i thuoght everything was fine. But i tested my calcium yesterday and it was at 340ppm. so i put in the recommended dose of purple up. i tested today and my calcium was 360ppm. Still low. By the way i am using salifert test kits. Am i suppoed to apply calicum to my tank everyday? is that normal to apply clacium everyday or every other day? am i doing something wrong? what is a good way to boost my calcium and keep it stable? do corals and inverts use that much calcium a day. i just set up my tank about a month and a half ago and i have a finger laehter coral, open brian, green start polyps, and a feather duster. also have about 15 hermit crabs, 15 turbo/astra snails, a coral banded shrimp, 2 sea stars, 4 emperor crabs. any suggestions wuold really help...thanks
