Any particular reason for adding calcium? I've had good luck with a deresa clam doing nothing but water changes. No calcium. You got something putty a heavy drain on calcium?

what is the current calcium level in the tank? you cannot dose anything unless you can first measure it.

Get some calcium buffer from Kent marine or a similar manufacturer and get it up to about 420ppm. You maintain that number by dosing Kalkwasser which again you can get from Kent Marine or similar manufacturer. But as noted in a previous post never dose anything with first testing levels. Also when you dose make sure you do it slowly in a drop process or your php levels could be adjusted.
In my area only 1 LFS and this shop only sell Ozoo brand. That not much choice to me. After two dose (2 litter) i see the different. My daisy coral start to come out, this coral seen i buy one month a go i never see them really come out. But I not sure any related to the calcium.
