Tropic Marin Carbo-Calcium Powder 700 gm
Tropic Marin Carbo-Calcium Powder 700 gm is a highly concentrated powder designed to supplement calcium and alkalinity in reef aquariums. It is dissolved in reverse osmosis water to create a solution that supports the growth of corals, coralline algae, and other reef organisms by providing essential calcium and carbonate hardness. The solution can be used for both manual and automated dosing and is formulated to maintain a stable pH and avoid adding unwanted compounds like phosphates or excess CO2.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Highly Concentrated: The powder is a concentrated source of calcium and alkalinity, meaning a small amount goes a long way.
- Dissolving: It's designed to be dissolved in reverse osmosis water to create a stable solution.
- Calcium and Alkalinity: The solution provides the necessary calcium and carbonate hardness for reef organisms.
- Stable pH: The solution helps maintain a stable pH in the aquarium, preventing unwanted fluctuations.
- No Unwanted Compounds: It avoids adding phosphates, excess CO2, or increasing salinity.
- Yield: 700g of Carbo-Calcium powder contains a significant amount of calcium (215g) and alkalinity.
- Application: The solution can be dosed manually or using a dosing pump.
- Shelf Life: The mixed solution has a long shelf life.
- Dosage: A specific amount of powder is dissolved in a specific amount of RO water to create the solution. According to the manufacturer, the 700g can is sufficient for 5 liters of liquid solution. The recommended dosage is 5ml per 100 liters of aquarium volume daily, with adjustments based on alkalinity levels.
