Depending on what ca additive you use it may take alot. I have been using esv and It took about 20-30ml's a day to raise ca. A couple weeks ago my ca was only 360-370 and it took between 25-30ml's a night for a week or more to raise it to 405-415 range but I also has a good amount of sps aswell.

Ok...today I checked my levels again in the morning and calicum is upto
395ppm..so pretty close where I wanted to be..but even I am dosing alk with it my alk seems
To be a little bit on a low end which is 8.10dkh..
I did buy esv's 2 part calcium and alk by gallons and I am getting a bit of a hang how
to deal with my reefs water chemistry but any suggestions what I need to keep in mind
while dosing that 2 part calcium solution..and how to wrk that out on daily basis..

check out the bulkreefsupply.com 2 part mix. It's easy, and much cheaper than premade.

What kind of calcium reading are you getting on your new salt mix? I'm running brightwell and it's coming up with around 400 calcium and 10.5 alk right out of the mix. I bet the salinity has a lower calcium and alk right off the mix which probably isn't helping your situation. Two part gets really expensive if you are trying to make up all the time for what your salt is lacking if that makes sense?
