I posed the question of how much calcium a couple of months back.  The
general consensus seemed to be that 10 to 20ppm was enough.  I would still
like to nail that down some.  Calcium chloride works without affecting the
pH but I don't want to add it if I don't need to.  The calcium carbonate in
the crushed coral seems to be doing the job right now.  I test for calcium
on a regular basis and it is staying pretty constant at 30ppm.
