calcium levels

[Kevbarnes11]

I can not get my calcium level to rise. It is stuck at 360. I am using the Kent marine calcium buffer part A and B, but it is not rising. Any suggestions?

Check your magnesium...if you have never added magnesium its probably low and it being low will not allow you to raise your calcium. Magnesium should be about 1250 - 1300 ppm and you should check it every couple to few weeks. Kent Tech M is a good magnesium supplement. You can find out here how much you will need.

I suggest buying the biggest container you can find of it, because you will need a lot for your tank now and a lot in the future.

How much are you adding? I think it would probably take a lot of the 2 part to raise the calcium level in a 210. It takes about 3 of the large capfuls to raise it in my 29G.
