{"product_id":"calcium-powder-850g","title":"Aquaforest Calcium 850g","description":"\u003cp\u003eAquaforest 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart of the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/aquaforest\"\u003eAquaforest\u003c\/a\u003e reef range.
