Aquaforest AF Lab Ca Plus

Aquaforest AF Lab Ca Plus

Aquaforest AF Lab Ca Plus is a concentrated liquid calcium supplement for marine aquariums, made to raise calcium levels and support coral skeletal formation and growth. It suits reef keepers who need to top up calcium during shortages or after a sudden drop in their system.

Key Benefits

• Concentrated calcium supplement, so a small measure goes a long way.
• Calcium is a key element for the development and growth of coral skeletons.
• Easily assimilable formula that corals can take up readily.
• Supports calcification and healthy coral growth by supplying calcium during shortages or sudden drops in the aquarium.

How to Use

Ca Plus works best when carbonate hardness (KH) is at the proper level, so the manufacturer recommends pairing it with a product that raises KH, such as KH Plus or KH Buffer. Test your calcium and KH before dosing, then base the amount on your coral population and the individual needs of your aquarium.

Dosage

• 10 ml increases the calcium level by 20 mg/l (ppm) in 100 litres (27 US gal) of water.
• Recommended calcium level: 380 – 460 mg/l (ppm).
• Dosage should be based on coral population and individual aquarium needs.

Suitable For

• Marine and reef aquariums with corals that build calcium-based skeletons.
• Aquarists who need to correct low calcium or recover from a sudden drop.

Compatibility

Because supplementation is only effective at the proper KH level, use it alongside a KH-raising product such as KH Plus or KH Buffer.

Available Sizes

Offered in several sizes. The dosing rate above applies to the product in every size.
