Increasing Calcium w/ B-Ionic

[Urabggr]

I've been testing my calcium (unable to aquire an alkalinity test kit at the moment... working on it though) and have discovered that it is at a steady 325. This means that my limewater is doing its job and keeping the calcium levels stable. However, the levels are still low. I have plenty of EVC B-Ionic Pt. 1 & 2 left over from my dosing days and would like to use these to increase my levels. I know about the dosing calculator, but I would like to know at what rate to add the supplements. Also, should I add both at an equal amount? Or should I just wait until I get an alkalinity test before I do anything. Thanks for the help!

You can add the B-ionic calcium part (no alk part at all) all at once that you need to boost calcium to 420 ppm. Just add it to a high flow area away from corals (preferably a sump). You can split the dose in half if you want, and measure between doses to adjust the second dose as necessary.

Wait for the alk kit to add any of the alkalinity part. It may be fine.
