Corals use 50ppm (or 2.8 dKH) of alkalinity for every 20ppm of calcium. However natural calcium levels are much higher in our tanks than alkalinity to begin with. So, a lot of reefers misinterpret this as the alkalinity is having a "problem" but the calcium isn't. This isn't correct really, they are both being used in a fixed ratio, calcium is just used slower and test kits are less able to resolve the smaller changes. Both should be added together in a fixed ratio though. Kalkwassser doses this fixed ratio naturally, as do calcium reactors and 2-part will if used according to the directions. I don't personally measure calcium often, I measure alkalinity and dose in a fixed ratio (with kalkwassser and 2 part). I have a lot of corals, so, without dosing, my alkalinity would drop about 2dkh per day, but still, even with that alk usage, my calcium would only drop about 14ppm per day. On a smaller system, it could be days or even weeks before the calcium drop was detectable on a hobby grade test kit. Be assured, they basically always go down in a fixed ratio (there can be some exceptions, but for the most part that isn't the norm and is not necessary to consider as long as you test alk regularly and at least calcium occasionally. I hardly ever need to adjust calcium though as long as it's added regularly per the ratio.
