Try adding bicaronate of soda. Dissolve it first and add in small ammounts taking regular readings to make sure that you are not adding too much.

Consider using calcium supplements and marine salt mixes geared toward reef tanks (which contain more calcium than ordinary marine salt mixes).
Before doing anything different though, use a test kit to determine the actually calcium levels in your water (your calcium levels may not need adjusting).

I don't do the saltwater (yet), but I've read about cuttle bones (they're for birds).
Try about.com fish forums or monsterfishkeepers.com
I would say ask your local fish store, but that can always lead to disaster since they really want to sell you stuff.
