C-Balance 3,785 L
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 to maintain calcium and alkalinity. It adjusts calcium, magnesium, and strontium ions to match natural seawater ratios, achieving a balanced ionic residual. This product makes it simple to replenish calcium and alkalinity, ensuring that they remain in perfect harmony for the optimal growth of stony corals and coralline algae. It is available in two sizes: 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 treats 1,900 gallons; the 32 oz bottle treats 3,800 gallons; and the 1 gallon concentrate treats 15,222 gallons.
Directions for use:
Using the measuring caps provided, add equal amounts of part A and part B to the aquarium separately. Make sure to rinse the measuring caps with water between doses. It is important to 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 alkalinity, which should be maintained between 2.5 and 3.5 meq/L (7-10 dKH). It is advisable to monitor this with a reliable test kit.
Dosage:
Begin with 5 ml (1 tsp) of each part per 75 L (20 gal) of aquarium capacity per day. Pour the solution into a strong current stream for rapid dispersal. Please note that part B may cause temporary cloudiness.
Maximum dose:
The maximum 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 maximum dose may temporarily raise the pH too high. It is wise to divide the maximum dosage into at least two doses to prevent a rapid increase in pH.
Precipitation of part B:
If part B is exposed to temperatures below room temperature, some precipitation may occur. The crystals will return to solution when the temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C). Please store 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 can take time to heal. Repeated contact may lead to redness and dry, cracked skin. Store away from acids and metals. First Aid: In case of eye or skin contact, flush with water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
