How would you make just a calcium solution? Just to up the calcium?
Dissolve 50 g of the AF Calcium in 1000 ml of deionized water. 100ml Calcium solution increases by about 17.5mg/l (ppm) in 100L (27G) of water.

I would not if you do not have a doser, I would suggest just adding it to your water change water.
If you have a dose I would suggest just mixing 50 grams per liter and dose 2 ml 4 times a day.

I will have to do the math later for that!

So if i did that right 5.2 ml will increase the calcium level by 1 ppm in 27 gallons correct?
Almost correct its 5.7ml.

correct. Misread the calculator.

So then .2 ml will increase one gallon by 1 ppm

I want to make a big solution like a gallon of rodi water.

So 189.27 grams of calcium to 1 gallon should be the same as 50g to 1000ml correct?
yes...

@120reefkeeper I appreciate the conversion chart you sent me! If I were to make a stock solution would i get more out of it do you think compared to Just taking some tank water and mixing the necessary amount every time? One other thing is that i don't have a scale so i can't weigh it out but i do have a friend I can borrow a scale from but don't want to be like hey I need to borrow the scale for weeks on end.

Ok so Alk is at 5.6, cal is at 460, I didn't know about the precipitating of alk if you add calcium right back to back...so I think the alk didn't replace...should I just add alk and not any components until tomorrow?

Ok @Anirban, what would be the formula for mixing the magnesium dry to rodi to make a stock solution?
