C-Balance 500 mL
- Replenishes calcium, carbonate alkalinity, and salts in marine aquariums
- Can be used as an alternative to “kalkwasser” or as a supplement to it
- Contains important trace elements
C-Balance from Two Little Fishies is a two-part system designed for maintaining calcium and alkalinity. It adjusts calcium, magnesium, and strontium ions to match natural seawater ratios, helping you achieve a balanced ionic residual. This product makes it easy to replenish calcium and alkalinity, keeping them in perfect harmony, which is essential for growing stony corals and coralline algae. It is available in two 500 ml (16 oz) or 946 ml (32 oz) bottles, or as a concentrate in two 3785 ml (1 gal) bottles. The 16 oz bottle can treat up to 1,900 gallons, the 32 oz bottle up to 3,800 gallons, and the 1-gallon concentrate can treat up to 15,222 gallons.
Directions for use
Using the provided measuring caps, add equal amounts of part A and B to your aquarium, separately. Remember to rinse the measuring caps with water between doses. Do not mix parts A and B together or with other supplements in dosing reservoirs. Depending on the rate of calcification, you may need to add C-Balance daily or only a few times per week. The required dosage is based on maintaining alkalinity between 2.5 and 3.5 meq/L (7-10 dKH). It is important to monitor this with a reliable test kit.
Dosage
Start with 5 ml (1 tsp) of each part per 75 L (20 gal) of aquarium capacity each day. Pour it into a strong current stream for quick dispersal. Please note that part B may cause temporary cloudiness.
Maximum dose
The maximum recommended dosage is 1 ml per gallon (3.8 L) per day, which corresponds to an increase in total alkalinity of 0.5 meq/L. Exceeding this dose may temporarily raise the pH too high. It is advisable to divide the maximum dosage into at least two doses to prevent rapid pH increases.
Precipitation of part B
If part B is exposed to temperatures below room temperature, some precipitation may occur. However, the crystals will return to solution above 75°F (24°C). Therefore, please store it at temperatures above 60°F (15°C).
Warning
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and mouth. This product may cause moderate to severe eye irritation or corneal injury, which may take time to heal. Repeated contact may lead to redness and dry, cracked skin. Store this product away from acids and metals. In case of contact: flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
