Raising Calcium...but....

[jeffsdesigns]

Ok. I am having fits trying to figure out how to raise my Ca levels.

What I have is a Bi-onic Doser not kalkwasser.
I have read some threads on use of vinegar but confused on that matter.

Everything is fine in my 75gtank. My Ank, prospate, Ph, etc.. levels is perfect.

But, I am at fits...

Will using a small amount of vinigar help raise the Ca or what?
I am confused...wished I was doing kalkwasser instead..then I'd know what to do..instead..I'm not..for now..lol

Any suggestions or help me understand more?

Given that everything else in your tank is perfect, it would reasonably be expected that your calcium is also. How to raise your calcium can depend on what level your Ca is currently at, as well as the other parameters. So specific values would be much more helpful than a ballpark figure of perfect.

I haven't measure cal in 5 years. All I do is measure alk and ph. Vinegar will drop your ph and lower your alk. Don't use it. I can tell when my alk drop too low by the way my corals look. Occasionally my cal reactor mess's up. Sounds like your fine to me. Stay away from cal. chloride also. I keep my alk(dkh) up over 10.
