Directions:
Mix 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon maximum per gallon of fresh water (preferably reverse osmosis or de-ionized water) in a separate clean container. Shake/stir mixture vigorously. It is recommended to use a drip system since dosing should be on a continual basis and at the same rate to replace the amount of water lost to evaporation.

Different reef systems have different calcium needs. To determine the calcium usage of your system, monitor calcium demand by testing aquarium water daily for about a week and replacing the amount of calcium that is being used.

Recommended Levels

Aquarium Type	pH	Buffering Capacity			Calcium
		Alkalinity		dKH
Reef	8.0 to 8.3	2.9 to 4.0 meq/L	140 to 200 ppm	8 to 11	400 to 450 ppm

If you are having trouble maintaining calcium or buffer levels, check to see that the salt mix you are using contains natural seawater levels of magnesium. Magnesium is necessary and low levels result in poor calcium solubility and buffering.

Ingredients: Calcium chloride (anhydrous).

Calcium Reactors

In nature, seawater bathes coral reefs in many minerals and elements. Calcium reactors automate the process of replenishing calcium as well as other minerals and trace elements.

Calcium Supplements

One of the most important aspects of proper reef care is calcium supplementation. Calcium is vital for the health and growth of corals and plays a crucial role maintaining high pH needed in marine systems.

Pros & Cons of Calcium Reactors

As calcium supplementation has become more automated, one of the more sophisticated means of achieving the desired goal is the use of the calcium reactor.

Simplify Calcium Supplementation

In nature, a steady supply of calcium is available to reef inhabitants from a variety of sources. In the reef aquarium, calcium must be added with calcium sipplements. A calcium reactor is an excellent delivery system for these supplements.
