hi fellow reefers, i have a pretty new tank, about 2.5 months old and i've never tested for the calcium levels. currently i have a few fishes and corals, namely bubbles, zoos mushrooms. I decided to test for the calcium levels today after buying an AQUA test kit and the results came out about 150ppm. the salt i use is marine environment salt. is it normal to have such low levels of calcium? relative to the 400-450 ppm that most pple recommend? does it mean i have to raise the level slowly to 400( which means maybe a whole bottle of calcium liquid) den maintain it there? look forward to your advice. thanks!

hi fellow reefers, i've got a few questions on the things i see in my 3 week old tank. Q1: what are the squirts of mucus/ dirt like stuff that is discharged from the LR once in a while? Q2: what are the tiny organisims that appear to be swimming around the tank? Q3: worms in the DSB. are they beneficial? Q4: what do crabs and mantis shrimps eat? is it okay to put whatever unwanted pests like these in the refugium? am sure that these questions are quite basic for most of you but i've never seen them being asked so please try to help me out. thanks!
