Adding calcium into the tank

[chefrt1]

I would like to know on how to adding calcium into my tank. I buy a azoo calcium powder, and it say there 1 spoon of calcium mixed with 5 litter of water and have to finish in 5 to 6 days. I used dripping system into sump. About 1 litters a day and takes about 45mint to finish. My question: how much to add and this will be continue on everyday?. For your info my water quantity is 160g. (110g in tank and 50g in sump)

I recommend using B-Ionic as your ALK and CAL buffer. It works great in my experiance. It is just a simple 2-part additive. You may consider checking it out! Lots of people here use it.

Make sure you test your Calcium and Alk levels before adding any calcium or carbonate. The dosage for each tank is unique so you will need to track levels to determine what the correct dosage for your tank is.

Calcium needs to be balanced with ALK so don't dose one without the other.

In my area only 1 LFS and this shop only sell Ozoo brand. That not much choice to me. Thank you and I will closely monitor the level of the Calcium and Alk before adding any calcium or carbonate.
