Ok so my weakness when it comes to marine life is water chemistry i will admit i am not the best at all the details when it comes to some of this stuff, but i am learning and doing all the research i can, for now i have a question on my Calcium..oh and by the way my ph probe was re-calibrated and now its at about 8.1ish hope thats not to low....
back to calcium, for as long as i have been in this hobby my calcium thanks to oceanic salt has been constant leveled. 460-500 for example and i was curious if there is a reason why it never drops below the lowest i listed, or why i never need to add calcium to my tank....
In my old 30g i used to add purple up (i know i know) i didnt know any better but i know it was a somewhat calcium additive and my coraline exploded everywhere, in my 65g now i have trace areas of purple coraline nothing to write home about, and i have noticed that my 2 shrimps (fire and cleaner havent really molted in the 2 months i have them, my cleaner did actually 2x, but the fire hasnt at all...)
