I have an 18 gallon and I am concerned that my calcium levels are too low, around 300-350. I have tried some drops by red sea, and some other stuff called "bionic". Nothing has seemed to work in keeping my levels higher. I bought some kalkwasser and made a doser from a 24 oz water bottle and some IV tubing so I can adjust the drops. My question is, how much powder should I use, mixed with how much water to make the solution, and then, how much solution dripped in over how long of a time period. I can not find a clear answer for nanoreefs, only on HUGE reef systems. Please give me your opinions. Thanks.

Why don't we first figure out why your CA is low :D What is your ALK, and what is your MG? Do you do water changes? What brand salt do you use? Have you tested the CA and ALK of your new salt water?

Hey Zack, add him to the NANO USER GROUP. It wasn't really an emergency.
