Seachem Reef Advantage Calcium 250g

Concentrated, powder ionic calcium
Maintains magnesium and strontium
Can be added directly to aquarium

Reef Advantage Calcium™ is a non-caustic (pH 8.3–8.6) optimized blend of ionic calcium designed to restore and maintain calcium to levels found in natural seawater. Calcium and carbonates are essential to all coral growth. If either becomes deficient, coral growth will cease, followed by a rapid decline in coral health.

Reef Advantage Calcium™ also includes magnesium and strontium in amounts proportionate to typical utilization ratios (100:5:0.1, Ca:Mg:Sr). This allows one to maintain these two important elements while maintaining calcium. Unlike limewater (kalkwasser), Reef Advantage Calcium™ does not have a caustic pH and will not deplete magnesium. Used as directed, it will not deplete alkalinity.

Directions

Beginner

Use 5 g (1 level teaspoon) per 150 L (40 US gallons) twice a week. For precise dosing, use the Seachem Digital Spoon Scale. Dissolve in at least 250 mL (1 cup) of freshwater. Check calcium every 2 weeks and adjust amount or frequency accordingly.

Advanced

Check calcium level (use Reef Status™ Calcium to test magnesium levels), then follow addition regimen above until calcium is adjusted to 380–420 mg/L. Each 5 g/150 L will raise calcium by about 12 mg/L. Quantity or frequency can be adjusted, but do not exceed 10 g/150 L per day. Thereafter, use as required to maintain calcium.

Expert

After determining the calcium consumption rate, set up a continuous drip system. Use the following formula (or skip the math and use our Dosage Calculator) to determine how much to add to your top-off water: m=vc/400 (m=grams to add to top off water, v=volume of tank in liters, c=amount to raise calcium in mg/L). [For reference: 1 gallon=3.8 liters, 5 g=1 teaspoon].

DO NOT OVERDOSE: Excess calcium may enhance the loss of carbonate alkalinity. Do not directly mix with any carbonate supplement. Best if calcium & carbonate additives are added on alternate days or at least 30 minutes apart.

Coronavirus impacts

Dear customers,

Thank you for your support in this unprecedented time.

A lot of industries have been effected by the spread of Coronavirus worldwide and sadly we have not been an exception.

While we are packing and sending out your orders as usual, the demands on Australia Post due to isolation and online shopping are beyond anything experienced before.

During this time and to speed up the delivery of your packages Australia Post have taken the initiative to no longer scan barcodes for tracking. However, even with this initiative there are still significant delays to both express and regular post of up to 21 days.

We appreciate your patience during these trying times and understand the frustration of delays, being a small Australian business we are incredibly grateful for your support.

If you have any questions about the process of your order from our warehouse, please do get in touch as we are happy to update, however any packages that have gone to Australia Post are beyond our control.

Stay safe and happy fish keeping.
