I need to buffer my aquarium calcium so I'm going to use a cuttlebone and I don't know if there's anything bad with too much calcium. I'm using about a sixth of a cuttlebone on a nano 3.5g tank for a betta, 3 shrimp, and 2 nerites. My current ph is 6.6 and I'm also going to use some crushed coral for that.
 
Won’t the crushed coral do the job on its own? I’m no expert on buffering water but I do leave cuttlebone in my tank and also place 1/4 a Tums in tank each Friday. I also feed calcium enriched food to shrimp and snails. No problems so far with OD in calcium.
