Adding calcium

I just got seachem calcium and I was wondering to I just add it to the tank? Or do I have to mix it with water? It's the liquid kind.

I usually just add to the tank, but must test your calcium before adding. Adding too much can have an adverse affect on the tank and throw off your tank chemistry!

Yeah, I tested before hand and added two cap fulls. I noticed today that my tank seems a little cloudy. What could be going on?

I use to used seachem and kent calcium for 2 years and It never got cloudy on me so I couldn't really tell you why, unless it is something else! I now use a 2 part additive and that also never clouds the water in my reef.

It's not really cloudy just a tad hazy I guess. The only thing I have added recently was the calc. Not sure what's going on.
