calcium levels during cycling

[iamsporkie]

i just received my first shipment of TBS rock for a ten gallon nano, and it looks great! this is my first attempt at saltwater, so i have a few questions... but heres just one of them

while the tank is cycling, how important is a high level of calcium in the tank? i ask this because i just tested the tank and its reading at 360 ppm, which is described as "low" on the Kwik-Kit i used.

so should i do something to correct this? or leave it be until the whole cycle is over, and the 2nd shipment is in?


thanks for the help!

You could add something like Kent Marine Turbo Calcium to boost the level to something closer to 450 but it really is not necessary while the tank is cycling.
