NYOS ION-B CA/MG+ Liquid

NYOS ION-B CA/MG+ is a concentrated, ready-to-use liquid that raises calcium and magnesium. It is one half of the NYOS ION-B two-part method; pair it with equal amounts of ION-B ALK/PH+. It also contains magnesium, strontium, potassium and boron for ion balancing.

About the ION-B method

• A two-part dosing system: equal amounts of ION-B CA/MG+ and ION-B ALK/PH+ replace used calcium, magnesium and alkalinity
• Corals use alkalinity and calcium in a ratio of about 1:7, and the two ION-B solutions are made in the same 1:7 ratio, so you usually dose equal amounts of both
• Designed to prevent ion shift and stabilize pH between 8.0 and 8.3
• Trace elements are added to the solutions with NYOS ION ELEMENTS 1, 2 and 3, adjusted to your tank's needs
