Calcium at 360-ish

I just got a calcium test today and tested my tank, 37g cube. Looks like it's about 360, if I'm reading correctly I should look for 400 to 500 for corals. (don't have any yet, my tank's not that old yet.)

Anyone have recommendations for good calcium supplement or something I can do to raise the calcium levels? I'm using Instant Ocean, and I just did a 10% water change about 2 days ago.

There's a 6-line wrasse, domino damsel, sailfin blenny, starfish, 2 bumblebee snails, 3 nassarius snails, 3 turbo or trochus snails and a large featherduster in there. about 45 lbs rock, 25 of it was LR and 20 coral rock. I was under the impression that the coral rock might help raise calcium levels. Also about an inch of aragonite (not live) sand.

Bunny and Bunnina have worked things out.
Bunny was mistaken after all, Bunnina was not having an affair.
