C-Balance 946 mL
C-Balance from Two Little Fishies is a two-part system designed to maintain calcium and alkalinity levels in marine aquariums. This product helps adjust calcium, magnesium, and strontium ions to match natural seawater ratios, ensuring a balanced ionic environment. It simplifies the replenishment of calcium and alkalinity, helping to keep these levels in perfect harmony for the best conditions for growing stony corals and coralline algae. C-Balance is available in two 500 mL (16 oz) or 946 mL (32 oz) bottles, as well 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 up to 15,222 gallons.
Directions for Use
Using the measuring caps provided, add equal amounts of Part A and Part B to the aquarium separately. Be 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 just a few times a week. The required dosage is based on alkalinity, which should be maintained between 2.5 and 3.5 meq/L (7-10 dKH). Make sure to monitor this with a reliable test kit.
Dosage
Start with 5 mL (1 tsp) of each part for every 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 can temporarily raise the pH too high. It is advisable to divide the maximum dosage into at least two doses to avoid a rapid pH increase.
Precipitation of Part B
If Part B is exposed to temperatures below room temperature, some precipitation may occur. The crystals will dissolve back into solution once the temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C). Please store it 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 could 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 eye or skin contact, flush the area with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
