    Does anyone have some advice? We have a reef tank set up, its been up for about 4 months. Can't get the calcium levels to increase.

    I had my CAL and ALK low. Cal was around 380 and Alk was around 5.6 dkh. I have always want to try and heard great things about the Kalkwasser Mix but also hear that you have to be very careful on using it. So I went a different route and got the KENT Liquid Reactor. I've used it the past 2...

    My 55 has a DSB with about #130 of LR plus the 2 refugiums, add another #30 of LR and calupera, and I was really wondering if I need the "Bio Bale" in my CPR sump any more?
