If you don't have a lot of corals you can probably get away with just doing weekly water changes for a while.

If you have an ATO you can put CaOH (such as Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime) in your top off water (kalkwasser). There are online calculators to figure out how much powder to use. Depending on your corals' consumption and your evaporation rate this may provide too much or too little though.
