After recently testing my water I am showing my Calcium and Iodine levels are low. Calcium level is running 320ml and Iodine is at 0.3. I am running a Fowler system with the following:

5 turbo snails
1 tiger crowie
2 conchs
1 peppermint shrimp
1 Fire Red shrimp
1 Blue devil
1 Rock Beauty
1 Ocellearus clown

Tank is 65 Gallons and has been running for about 4months now. Water 10%change is every other week.

Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 0.2

Ok here is my question.... I bought a bottle of Kent Marine Liquid calcium and Kent Marine Iodine. Problem is since I am currently residing in Japan the instructions on the bottle is in Japanese. I read japanese ok but my kanji (chinese characters) is limited. Anyway could someone please give me some advice on the dosage I need for the above setup?

When you are done w/ Liquid Cal (I think mostly water in that bottle; low concentration), try Kent's Turbo Cal (dissove in water before adding: produces heat as it dissoves).
