Hi one more? calcium I have not added any but even true my water changes it's still 480 I was using red sea every week till I found out my cal was to hi my other? is do I need to add any thing else like Buff and trace

Don't add any supplement that you haven't tested for first. Get a alkalinity test kit prior to adding any buffer. Also note that alk affects ca and visa-versa so you'll need to keep a check on both when making adjustments to either one.

Most rely on trace element replenishment via water changes.

:hallo: Hi ya Miguel!
Welcome to Reefsanctuary!!

Don't buffer until you measure the alkalinity in your tank.
Depending on the chart in your test kit....your readings should be in this range.
2.5 - 4 meq/L or 7 - 11 dKH

If they are then dont do a thing, your right on the money.

Don't dose for anything you don't test for first to make sure you actually need it.

Good luck! Keep us posted on your progress
