Kent Marine Liquid Calcium

Provides necessary calcium to enhance the growth of hard corals, soft corals, and other reef invertebrates. Great for tube worms, snails, and clams, as well as purple, pink, and green encrusting calcareous algae (coralline algae). With regular use, corals open more often and stay attached to their skeletons better. Calcium is vital for the health and growth of corals and also plays a crucial role maintaining high pH needed in marine systems. Phosphate and nitrate free. Does not raise DOC levels. 16 oz treats 6,000 gallons. For best results, use Kent Kalkwasser Mix first.

Contains no EDTA, gluconates, lactates, or other sugars, which increase bioload and may accumlate over time and spur unwanted slime or bacterial growths and/or sequester trace elements.

Remember that establishing and maintaining proper water chemistry over the long term are the most important facets of marine aquarium husbandry. Accurate test kits are crucial to help you monitor and maintain water chemistry.

Strive to maintain the calcium concentration with a range of 420-450 ppm. A higher level may result in rapid calcium compound precipitation and deposits, which can possibly be destructive to pumps and other sensitive system equipment.

Aim for an alkalinity of 8-10 dKH (use Kent Superbuffer dKH or ProBuffer dKH) at all times for best growth of reef-building organisms. Use of a strontium supplement, such as Strontium & Molybdenum, will enhance the impact of adequate calcium and alkalinity in a reef aquarium by encouraging corals to expand more fully and deposit skeletal mass more rapidly.

Ingredients:
Deionized Water, Calcium Chloride.

Guaranteed Analysis:
Calcium (min) 10% or 100,000 ppm

General Information:
Phosphate and nitrate free. Contains no gluconates, EDTA, or other organics to raise DOC levels. Concentrated Liquid Calcium alone can provide all the calcium your reef will need. For maximum results, use Kent Kalkwasser Mix first and then raise calcium level with this product. Strontium addition via use of Kent Marine Strontium & Molybdenum Supplement is absolutely necessary. Use of Coral-Vite and Essential Elements are also beneficial.
