Cant get calcium up

[jimmy420]

I have a 24DX nano cube, all paramaters are normal and now Im trying to deal with alk and calcium. I have been using Bionic for about a week now, and I have only had success with the alkalinity, and no matter what I do with the calcium it doesnt seem to change. I cant get it above 325 or so. Any help would be apreciated.

B-Ionic is a wnderful product IME but it seems to be best for maintaining cal/alk levels. You could try topping off with limewater (kalkwasser) or adding a calcium supplement. Either way don't try to raise it too much at once, raise it gradually over several days or a week. Do you have any corals that have a large calcium demand? If you do you may have trouble getting the calcium level up without either regular doses of kalkwasser or a calcium reactor (depending on how large your demand is). HTH, Skip

BTW :welcome to nanotank!

To raise my CA levels if they're low I've always used turbo calcium. I use the b-ionic to maintain my levels fairly well on smaller tanks, but it doesn't seem to work very well to actually raise levels if they're low.
