api is great for amonia so keep that one its the better of the tests available , nitrate aint bad either.


i use elos for calcium and it works bang on.


i doubt not rolling your bucket had anything to do with it, ive never rolled a bucket in my life once and my calcium stays consistent.

the reason yor calcium is low is because youve been adding for alk and mg.

if you were to add a calcium suppliment your other parameters are going to change slightly:P

api is def the worst for calcium they dont do much for the big3 , just the basics nitrate,nitrite and amonia....anything else and i would use a different test cheers


carefull with the purple up it can increase your calcium by up to 40ppm per dosing , and its possible to over dose so stick with the guidelines

i use purple up with iron and iodine as a suppliment. i use it very rarely though:P
