I was told it will help the coraline algae grow. i dont have clam, just a couple pieces of coral. But like i said i was just adding, because i was told it helps the coraline?
no didnt test it. wasnt told to. the lfs just said throw in this seachem stuff once a week and it should help you out. so do i need to worry about something now?
Do not add anything else to your water. I would purchase a salifert CA test and get a good CA reading. Once you have that we can help you more. LFS are notorious for having you just "throw stuff in" so you will come back and purchase more. Do you have any corals? If anything you can do a WC. Main thing high CA will hurt is your pumps.
Is it Reef Advantage Calcium or just Reef Calcium?
The Reef Advantage also includes magnesium and strontium to help balance out the ca. The Reef Calcium is strictly ca and your ca level could be off due to just adding that and not magnesium and strontium.
If you have only done it once you probably haven’t hurt anything assuming you followed the directions. If you have been adding for weeks your ca could be off the chart and you may need to do a couple of 20% pwc.
Most salt brands are low in ca and often need additional ca additives if you have corals that require ca. As everyone mentioned you should never add to your tank unless you know you need the additive through testing though.
