Biologically ideal calcium supplement for reef aquariums using the Balling method

Calcium is one of the most important elements in seawater, as together with carbon dioxide it is required for the skeletons of fishes and corals in the form of calcium carbonate. For this reason, calcium should be added to reef aquariums in particular, in order to enable the healthy growth of stony coral and create natural conditions. With Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium the tank receives exclusively carbon dioxide and calcium in the biologically-ideal form in accordance with the Balling Method. In contrast to other calcium supplements, Tropic Marin^® Bio-Calcium does not disturb the ionic balance and the pH value remains stable.

• Contains calcium and alkalinity in a truly ionically balanced formula.
• Only natural substances are formed when dissolved.
• Will not later pH of aquarium water when used as directed.

Natural Sea water contains approximately 410ppm calcium and 6.5 dKH alkalinity. Tropic Marin recommends the use of calcium and KH/Alkalinity test kits to closely monitor aquarium calcium and alkalinity levels before treating. Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium increases both calcium and alkalinity at the same time.

Directions: calculate the total system water volume. Each level measuring spoon will raise the calcium level of 10 Gallons by approximately 28 ppm and the alkalinity by 4 dKH. You should not exceed a calcium level of 440ppm and an alkalinity of 8dKH due to the possibility of super saturation and subsequent precipitation of calcium carbonate.

Maximum recommended dose is one level scoop per 10 gallons of aquarium water per day.

Sprinkle level spoonfuls (levelling spatula and measuring spoon included in pack) of Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium onto the surface of the water where it is being circulated by your pump. Take care not to allow a larger amount of undissolved Bio-Calcium to come in contact with invertbrates. Add slowly to avoid clouding from localised super saturation. Initially, you may find that a significant amount of Bio-Calcium is required. Maintain a calcium level of approximately 410ppm by regular dosing of Bio-Calcium as necessary.

Contains: calcium, carbonate, all 70 trace elements found in natural seawater.
