Calcium also fulfils many biological functions. These processes result in depletion of calcium. Quite often a too low calcium concentration retards growth of corals and calcareous algae. NSW (Natural Sea Water) contains 400 - 450 mg\/L calcium. This is also the value we should strive for. For a stable aquarium environment the fluctuation in calcium content should not be more than approx. 15 mg\/L.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Coral Calcium\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe have highly concentrated this supplement. In fact a higher concentration is impossible to achieve. Each litre contains approx. 160,000 mg of calcium. You will appreciate this when you consider that an average aquarium depletes 5-8 mg of calcium per litre, each week.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo avoid an ionic imbalance, we properly balance the calcium with ions such as sulfate, chloride, bromide, sodium and magnesium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll ingredients are of a pharmaceutical quality or even better. This ensures that no unwanted elements are added to your valuable aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRight after you have dosed this supplement the calcium is immediately for the full 100% available to your corals and other calcium requiring organisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther requirements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf calcium is depleted because of growth of corals and coralline algae then supplements such as Salifert’s KH+pH Buffer and Strontium are also required. Since they form together with calcium the major ingredients of shells, coralline algae and the skeletal material of corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirections:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShake before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegular maintenance:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDose 5 ml per 100 liters (25 gallons) once a week or two weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdjust dosage according to individual requirements (use a calcium test, e.g., Salifert’s Calcium Profi-Test). Every 5 ml per 100 liters (25 gallons) will increase the calcium concentration by approx. 8 mg\/L (8 ppm).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNever increase the calcium concentration by more than 50 mg\/L a day. Maintain a calcium concentration of 400 - 450 mg\/L.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep out of reach of children. In case of contact with eyes rinse with plenty of water. Only for aquarium-hobby use.
