[I know Nick (nvillaci) was one of the first people I knew that used it probably a year and a half ago. Last I heard he was still swearing by it.]

[i just bought somea nd was woundering how much to add? my calcium is at 250....do i add what the bottle says? it would come out to about 8 or 10 ounces to raise my calcium 200 points in a 200 gallon tank (according to the calium bottle directions) does this sound right?]

[Whatever you add, add it gradually over several days and test your water at least 1 hour after mixing to see what the numbers are.]
