Hi all this is Ponraj from India,

I have just started to built my reef tank with 120gl. I have cured the rock and started to get some green plants over the rock. Can anyone guide me how to increase my calcium levels. I was doing the below,
water parameters, pH-7.9 ; salinity-35 ; alkalinity-10dkh ; nitrate-0 ; phosphate-0 ; calcium is getting to purple only in 30th drop in test kit.
having - SRO 3000 skimmer ; chiller JBJ arctica ; bio pellet reactor with reef octopus bio pellet media and seachem matrix carbon both in it.
giving calcium dosing with Seachem reef advantage together with 5ml of vinegar, giving two times dosing per day for the last whole week. no change in calcium. seeing some changes in the rocks getting more green plants on it
