Carbocalcium 1000ml. (TM)
Tropic Marin CarboCalcium 1000ml (KH+Ca)
Features:
Tropic Marin® CARBOCALCIUM is an ultra-concentrated solution designed for advanced reef aquarists. With this product, you can meet the total calcium and carbonate hardness needs of a typical reef aquarium using just one solution. This means you do not have to worry about adding any unwanted compounds or producing excess carbon dioxide.
In an aquarium, minerals are consumed through the growth of organisms and various processes. Therefore, it is essential to supplement them regularly. The primary elements needed for the growth of calcareous skeletons in stony corals, red coralline algae, and other reef organisms are calcium and carbonate hardness. The specially coordinated components in CARBOCALCIUM create excellent care conditions using just one solution.
Tropic Marin® CARBOCALCIUM prevents all the side effects associated with other calcium hardness methods:
- The pH remains stable.
- No excess CO2 is produced.
- There is no risk of introducing unwanted phosphates through coral breakage.
- No creeping increase in salinity occurs.
- There is no increased oxygen consumption from carbon compounds.
Benefits:
- For the first time, you can supply calcium and carbonate with just a single solution.
- A few milliliters of this highly concentrated solution daily can cover all your calcium and carbonate hardness needs.
- It is suitable for aquariums of all sizes.
- No by-products, such as sodium chloride, are formed, so salinity and ion balance remain unchanged.
- No excess carbon dioxide is generated.
- It is suitable for aquariums that contain soft corals, LPS, SPS, and other filter feeders.
- Easy to apply, whether you prefer manual dosing or using dosing pumps.
How to use:
Begin with a daily dose of 5 ml of Tropic Marin® Carbo-Calcium for every 100 litres (26 US-gal) of aquarium system volume. You can increase the dose weekly by 2.5 ml per 100 litres (26 US-gal) based on continuous control of the alkalinity, until you reach a stable carbonate hardness of 7 to 9 °dH. At the same time, monitor the calcium concentration in your aquarium, which should be between 400-440 mg/l.
Please do not exceed a maximum daily dose of 25 ml of Tropic Marin® Carbo-Calcium per 100 litres (26 US-gal) of aquarium system volume. Each 1000 ml of Tropic Marin® Carbo-Calcium contains 40,000 mg of calcium and 5,600 °carbonate hardness.
For an easy determination of the required dosage for your aquarium, utilize the new dosing calculator. To refill this solution, we recommend the new product Tropic Marin® Carbo-Calcium Powder, which should be dissolved in reverse osmosis water.
