I got a frogspawn yesterday at the LFS. It is my first coral. His color is getting alot nicer and he is starting to extend out. Well he will extend out then go back in. I read I need to have calcium in my water. I am going to get a test kit tomorrow for that and need to know a good source of calcium to put in my water for him. The guy at the FS didn't say anything to me about the calcium. Any knowledge greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you only have one coral the calcium from your salt mix will probably be enough. I would still test the water to find out if your levels need adjusting though. Calcium level is closely related to alkalinity and magnesium though. These three test kits should be in every reefers arsenal. Reading is your friend!
