Anyone Using Fiji Gold Calcium Supplement?

[starrfish]

I bought some Fiji Gold Calcium Supplement at MACNA and just tried it. Wondering if anyone else is using it and with what results. I don't have a sump, so I have to add it directly to my tank. It makes the water cloudy for a while. I shut off my skimmer for about an hour after adding it. Is this necessary? Any experiences out there with this?

Thanks,
Daire

I use it in some of the store tanks, at home and in customers tanks as well. We love it it's simple and you can't overdose it. In one service account I use it like kalk in a top up bucket and it works well, I've been meaning to try it in a kalk reactor but haven't gotten to it. Other tanks I just swish a pinch in the sump.
I had a scare in the 20 gallon reef at the store, in this case we just swish it directly into the tank. I was lazy and just droped it in, it clumped and fell directly into my prized blood red Blasto wellisi 4 or 5 polyps sucked it right up then closed and looked burned (first time I've seen the sketeton in this coral in months) The next day they were fine. I guess thats one advantage of an all natural product.
