Calcium came in at 315ppm. Im going to try for around 420ppm so using the instructions once again..
"Each g of Calcion-P will increase the [Ca2+] in 1 US-gallon (3.785 L) of water by 95 ppm.]" I figure 17g will boost my 15 gallons up to around 422ppm. Ill dissolve the powder and add it to the NSW and retake the reading in awhile.

Calcium is now sitting at 387ppm, Far less than the 422ppm I calculated it to be. Argh how frustrating!

I added an extra 10g of magnesium, for a total of 15grams in 15 gallons of water and low and behold the numbers matched up this time. I measured an increase of 113ppm per gram per gallon. (brightwell says 114.4ppm per gram per gallon)
To increase calcium I ended up adding another 8 grams for a total of 25g for 15 gallons of saltwater. I must have screwed up the second test for mag somehow after adding the first 5 grams. Unless the mag reading was off because of low calcium?
