Aquaforest Calcium 850g

Aquaforest Calcium is a concentrated dry calcium supplement that raises and holds your tank's calcium level without affecting other elements. Calcium drives calcification, the process corals use to build their calcium carbonate skeletons, so steady calcium alongside alkalinity is essential for SPS, LPS, and soft coral growth. As a dry additive it is highly cost effective and, mixed into solution, performs as well as or better than liquid calcium products.

Part of the Aquaforest reef range. Dose it alongside Magnesium, KH Buffer, Reef Mineral Salt, and Component Strong to keep your corals in balance.

Features

• Raises and holds calcium. Maintains a stable calcium level without changing other elements.
• Powers coral growth. Calcium and alkalinity fuel calcification for SPS corals, LPS corals, soft corals, and clams.
• Cost-effective dry format. Mixes into a solution that performs as well as or better than liquid additives.
• Combine with Magnesium. Mix with Magnesium Dry for a single-pump calcium and magnesium solution.

How to Use

• Make a solution: add 50 g of Dry Calcium and 10 g of Dry Magnesium to 1000 mL of RODI water. Stir vigorously and let sit for 24 hours before use.
• Start with 5 mL per 27 gallons of aquarium water daily.
• Test calcium after each dose and adjust to your system's demand.
• Add the solution slowly to a high-flow area to reduce precipitation.

FAQ

What does Calcium do?
It raises and stabilizes calcium, the element corals use with alkalinity to build their calcium carbonate skeletons.

How do I prepare it?
Mix 50 g of calcium and 10 g of magnesium into 1000 mL of RODI water, stir, and let it sit for 24 hours before dosing.

How much should I dose?
Start at 5 mL per 27 gallons daily, then test your calcium and adjust to your tank's demand.

Why add it to high flow?
Adding calcium slowly into a high-flow area helps it disperse and reduces localized precipitation.
