Add a calcium buffer after you buy a good test kit for calcium and test to make sure you need to add calcium.

i tested calcium and its at 320 and i use b-ionic 2 part.

Up your dose of the calcium part of the 2 part a little to slowly bring up your calcium level. Not too much or you can throw things out of wack.

BTW what are your alk and mg levels? Temp and sg as well?

Get some Turbo Cal and add that. Once you get the level even, Cal and Alk, you can start using equal parts of B-Ionic.

More important, before you do anything what is you Alk level?
