I dont want to add anything until i know what. I do add kent's liquid calcium 3 times a week as recommeded. thanks!

IMO, you shouldn't add anything that you can't test for.

I have never heard of any way to determine Ca level w/o a test kit.

I would do a water change and try to get that PH and the alkalinity down. Also if you dose calcium 3 times a week depending on how many corals you have those levels might be too high also.
