Reef Basis Calcium Liquid 2L

Reef.Basis Calcium is a high quality, maximum
strength ionic calcium solution designed to safely raise the calcium level in
marine aquariums, providing essential calcium for increased growth rates in
corals, coralline algae, crustaceans and many other marine organisms. It
contains no acetate, gluconates, polygluconates or other unnecessary organics
to pollute your aquarium. It is phosphate and silicate free. May be used
simultaneously with Kalkwasser.

Use in aquarium keeping:

Proper control of calcium level is imperative for the health and growth
of corals and many other invertebrates. If the calcium concentration is too
low, growth rates will suffer. If it is too high, alkalinity or buffering
capacity will be diminished, leading to possible instability of pH. Sufficient
magnesium levels are also necessary to maintain the proper balance. It is
therefore recommended that the hobbyist measure and control the levels of
calcium, magnesium and alkalinity on a regular basis. Strontium is also
required for formation of aragonite. Continuum recommends that you maintain a
calcium level of between 410 and 450 mg/L (ppm), an alkalinity level of 7 to 11
dKH (2.5 to 4 meq/L), and a magnesium level of 1250 to 1350 mg/L (ppm). Note:
Aquarists keeping SPS corals should consider keeping alkalinity at 7 to no more
than 9 dKH (2.5 to 3.21 meq/L). Do not add calcium and buffering (alkalinity)
products at the same time. Doing so will cause unnecessary precipitation and
possible cloudiness.

Directions:

Shake well prior to use. Add 1 capful (5 ml) per 50 US-gallons (200 L)
of marine aquarium water 3 to 4 times per week. For best results, measure the
calcium concentration and add as required to maintain the concentration between
410 and 450 mg/L.

Expert use:

Dosing through use of a drip system is a superior method of addition. Do
not mix with buffers or alkalinity supplements prior to addition. You may mix
it with strontium, magnesium, and many other supplements. See our website for
compatibility of supplements. Determine the amount of calcium consumption
during the time it takes add the entire volume of your drip system. Determine
the amount of Reef.Basis Calcium to add in millilitres by multiplying your tank
capacity in gallons by the amount you want to raise it in mg/l (ppm) and by
0.027. (Example: if you have a 100 gallon tank and you want to raise the level
by 10 ppm with the entire dose, you would multiply 100 x 10 x 0.027 which
equals 27 ml of Reef.Basis Calcium or about 5-1/2 capfuls).

Caution: Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption.
Contains calcium chloride, if ingested drink water. If in eyes flush with water.
