Calcium concerns!!
So in the last two months I've watched my calcium level fall like crazy. It's gone from 440 to now 280. My LFS said to do a 50% water change this week then a 50% next week. Then go back to my normal 10% the following week. So I did the 50 last week and checked today and it's still at 280ppm.
I was told that the reason my calcium level dropped so much was that the magnesium level was depleted in my tank. I do dose with B-Ionic daily. But two months ago was using purple up. So once again my LFS. Told me to increase the calcium dose by double, yet it has not helped. Any suggestions to what may be going on or how to raise my calcium. Thanks
