well that doesnt mean you have to actually dose calcium. You might already have good levels from your salt. Never dose calcium (or anything for that matter) without knowing what the levels are already at. They might already be good. Get them in the 400-450 range. But once you start adding a lot of corals, the calcium will go down as the week goes by, so depending on how much your weekly water changes replenish the tank of its calcium, you may or may not have to actually dose calcium.
