AF Calcium 850g

Description

An agent for maintaining constant calcium levels and pH adjustment in reef aquariums. In sea water, the constant value of calcium is essential for the proper development of corals and coralline algae. The recommended level of calcium in reef aquaria is 380-460 mg/l (ppm).
Dosage: Dissolve 50 g of Calcium in 1000 ml RODI water.
Dosage should be determined by water test results and corals daily consumption. Before applying Calcium solution into the water, it is recommended to run a water test to check current water parameters. 100 ml of Calcium solution raises the calcium level in 100 l of water by 17.5 mg/l (ppm). The product is also suitable for casual use in order to raise calcium level once. 10 g of Calcium in 100 l of water raises the calcium level by about 35 mg/l (ppm). We do not recommend raising calcium levels by more than 20 ppm per day. In order to maintain ionic balance, KH Buffer and Reef Mineral Salt should also be used. Calcium and Magnesium can be combined together into one solution.
Contains: calcium chloride – CaCl2 (CAS: 10043-52-4). Causes serious eye irritation. Keep out of reach of children. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Wear eye protection. IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/ attention.
Dispose of contents/container to appropriately labeled waste containers in accordance with national regulations.

Dosing AF Calcium 850g in a Singapore reef tank

We supply this 850g calcium powder to many local reefers running the Balling method, and the first thing we tell them is to dissolve it only in RO/DI water, never Singapore tap. Our chloraminated supply carries silicates and trace contaminants that you do not want in a concentrated stock solution feeding an SPS-dominated system. Mix in a clean container, label it clearly, and store the prepared solution away from heat in our humid climate.

Because ambient temperatures here sit around 27-29C, calcium uptake by fast-growing Acropora and coralline algae stays brisk year-round, so consumption is often higher than guides written for temperate setups suggest. We recommend a fortnightly logged test rather than guessing, then adjusting your daily dose to match actual draw-down. Keep calcium, alkalinity and magnesium moving in step; raising one in isolation tends to precipitate the others out of solution.

Browse the rest of our conditioners and medication range alongside this powder, and if you are new to two-part dosing read our Balling method reef dosing guide and calcium test kit picks before you start ramping doses.
