Coral Calcium

Salifert Coral Calcium

To replenish the used calcium in your aquarium without disturbing the balance The perfect way to replenish the used calcium in your aquarium without disturbing the balance and without causing major changes in the pH (which calcium hydroxide does). All corals, calcareous algae, molluscs, etc. need calcium. Salifert Coral Calcium Why is Calcium Necessary? Calcium is an important constituent of calcareous algae, skeletal material of hard corals and the skeletal needles of soft / leather corals. In addition, calcium also fulfills many biological functions. These processes result in a consumption of calcium. Too low a calcium concentration slows down the growth of corals and calcareous algae. Natural Sea Water contains 400 - 450 mg / L calcium. This is also the value we should strive for a stable aquarium, fluctuations in the calcium content should not exceed approx. 15 mg / L. About Salifert Coral Calcium We have very concentrated this addition. In fact, a higher concentration is impossible. Each liter of Salifert Coral Calcium contains approximately 160,000 mg of calcium. Something you'll appreciate when you consider that an average aquarium consumes 5-8 mg of calcium per liter every week. To avoid an ionic imbalance, we look for a good balance between calcium and ions such as sulfate, chloride, bromide, sodium and magnesium.
