What is the best way,product,to raise Alk and calcium. I am using the red sea brand salt(basic,not the pro). My tank is a liitle over a month now. All I have is a cuc,false percula and a gsp.

First: what are your current numbers and why do you want to change them?

+1
IMO 2 part is pretty good....

The simplest way is to switch to a reef salt and water changes. Starting with a higher level to begin with always helps, especially if you don't need a lot more than you currently have.

Well, I wanted to add something to my tank after it running for a month. I checked my numbers and everything looked good. I wanted to test my water with the "Reefs2U" fish shop down the road for me. I dont have a calcium test kit and I wanted to see how my swing arm hydrometer matched up to their refractomoeter. My alkalinity is 4.0 on my test kit but the owner of the shop told me calcium and alk were way low.I bought the Kent part a and b. I did this because he told me the guy who use to make the stuff for Kent opened his own line(brightwell) so I figured Id save ten bucks and go with the Kent

You should get a test kit. I use the API and it seems to do the job. Have you done a water change yet? As one of the others said, using a good salt can keep you from having to dose at all.

Well, if you mean 4.0 meq/L, then your alk is 11.4 dKH, which is the upper end of what you want. 8-10 dKH is generally what I recommend.

What brand alk kit are you using? Did the LFS guy tell you what your numbers were or just that they were "way low"?

Dunno if Kent is good or not... Most people round these parts use B-Ionic or Bulk Reef Supply's 2-part additive.

I think you should avoid kent nano reef part A/B and stick with a solely two-part additive like what mr. fosi suggested.

What are your actual numbers for calcium?

Wanting "to add something to my tank after it running for a month" is not the best reason to start a dosing regimen. So, what kind of corals/inverts are in the tank? First, you should observe how much alkalinity and calcium is being used by the tank between water changes. There's no sense in dosing if your water changes were just as effective at getting water parameter levels back to normal.

Well I feel like I was fed bs by the store owner. I double checked my Alk and it is 3.5. Don't know on the calcium,I dont have a test kit for that.

So, what was the test kit brand or the units for "3.5" alkalinity?

API also makes a calcium test kit.

Be sure to list the units that your alk and calc are reported in.

yes it was 3.5meq/L
