Calcium @ 310 - seeking help

[o2zen]

Ok I am not sure how this happened but I tested my Calcium last night and it showed up as 310. My alkalinity was 3.75 meq/L last night as well. I used TM Pro Reef salt and I have been dosing my 90g with 30ml of Oceans Blend 2 part daily for the past few weeks.

So how did I drop my Calcium to 310 and what is the fastest/cheapest way to bring it back up? I used the calculator and it would take 2 bottles of Oceans Blend to bring it up and like 32.7oz of Bi-Ionic which I just picked up but would be all of my supply.

I have not done Randy's 2part yet but I think that might be the best way to fix this without spending a ton of money.

Any suggestions?

Roughly 13 Oz. of liquid Aragonite would bring you back to 400 Ppm. A 16oz. bottle at Pet-Mart is 10.00.
You don't want to use it often for it contains cloride ions which will build up in system over time but I have found it to be a good way to boost Ca levels without throwing off the balance . Doesn't affect Ph or hardness either.
Brand name is Natures Reef.

Good question Chickenhawk. I will have to look at the bottles again and figure out why I was dosing it that way.

Greyhawk do you add the whole 13oz all at once or break it up over a few days?

Thanks guys. Everything looks fine in the tank so I was a little shocked to see 310 as the results of my tests last night. I will test again tonight and see what I get.
