Calcium Levels low...help

What can I do to get these up? They are around 100 PPM low...Is changing my salt my only option? Please let me know guys, thanks. Is there a chemical additive I can throw in there to help it out that is rock/fish friendly?

Calcium Supplements

There are tons of them... I've used Kent Marine Calcium, and DT's Calcium.

What brand of salt mix are you using?
