hi folf i have a question, actually 2 questions i tested my Ca levels and found out they were very low 120 to be exact , i know normal is 400 450 roughly , so i went and bought kent marine tech cb part A and PART B ive been using it for 3 days now acording to the directions and my Ca has only gone up to 160 , my fist question is how long does it take to bring the levels up ? , and does this product also raise my kh , because i started with a kh of 12 which i know is high but now its at 20 ,,, any advise???
 
The fastest way to raise ca honestly is to do water changes.Most salts mix at at least 350 ca ppm.For you to be running so low though you must have something leeching it out and have a poor substrate.
 
Well since most salt mixes at at least 350 something has been utilizing your ca whether hard corals or coralline BUT it could be that you dont have a calcium based substrate that lacks buffering abilities.What are you using?
 
i'm using tetra and fast test for alot of the tests and nutrafin byhagen for Ca
