calcium supplements

[monkey21]

ok this week i will be recieving my macro. it will be 3 udotea, 3 halimeda, 5 mermans brush, and caulerpa. now here is my question. how much liquid calcium should i put. i know the caulerpa does not need it but the others do. they will be in a ten gallon dwarf seahorse tank. i was told by someone to put a drop a day. is that right?
also how can you tell when it is going to go sexual. heard about white tips and then you prune. what are other signs, and how much do i remove. and do you quarantine the clippings for a while
thanks for any help you can offer

Hi monkey21,

What brand of calcium are you using? I would generally follow the instructions on the bottle but the best way to be sure you are putting in the right amount of calcium is to get a calcium test kit and monitor your calcium levels. A good level to maintain is around 400ppm.

What kind of caulerpa are you going to be getting?
