Default Re: No Sump....Help managing Calcium Level....

Ok Jim. Here are the parameters. My Seachem Calcium Test kit & Kent Marine 2 part calcium additive came in Friday. Tested water this morning using my Seachem test kits got the following readings......everything is still great.........except the calcium reading I got. Here are the parameters:

Specific Gravity: 1.026
PH: 8.2
Alkalinity: 5.0
Nitrites: 0
Nitrates: 0
Free Ammonia: 0
Total Ammonia: 0
Calcium: 200 mg/l

Sounds like I need to get that calcium level up! I'm using Kent Marine Tech CB 2 part calcium additive, and added my first dose this morning after testing. Instructions say to dose each day until desired calcium level is achieved. Does this mean that I need to do a Calcium test everyday, or can I dose for a couple of days and then test? Calcium is low right now. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated.
