Aquaforest Ca Plus 200ml

Aquaforest Ca Plus 200ml

Aquaforest Ca Plus is a highly concentrated calcium supplement for marine and reef aquariums, supplied in a 200 ml size. It is made for reef keepers who need to raise calcium, correct a shortage or recover from a sudden drop, so corals can keep calcifying and growing.

Key Benefits

• Highly concentrated calcium formula for raising calcium levels in marine aquariums
• Created for correcting shortages and sudden drops in calcium
• Supplied in a highly assimilable form, so calcium levels are easy to raise
• Supports calcification and healthy coral growth
• Helps guard against the slowed or stopped growth that calcium deficiency can cause in corals

Why Calcium Matters

Corals need calcium to grow. A deficiency can significantly inhibit growth or stop it altogether. Ca Plus lets you top up calcium quickly when test results fall short, so your corals have the building blocks they need for calcification.

How to Use

• Test your calcium level and compare it with the recommended range for a reef aquarium: 380-460 ppm.
• Check that your magnesium level is within the recommended range before you raise or adjust calcium and alkalinity.
• Check your KH as well. Ca Plus works best when carbonate hardness is at the proper level, so a product that raises KH, such as KH Plus or KH Buffer, is recommended alongside it.
• Dose according to the rates below and re-test to track the change.

Dosage

• 10 ml of Ca Plus raises the calcium level by 15 mg/l (ppm) in 100 l (27 US gal) of water.
• Maximum daily dose: 20 ml of Ca Plus per 100 l (27 US gal) of water.
• Recommended calcium level in a reef aquarium: 380-460 ppm.

Suitable For

• Marine and reef aquariums with calcium-demanding corals
• Tanks that need a calcium top-up or have had a sudden calcium drop
• Reef keepers who want to adjust calcium alongside alkalinity and magnesium

For larger volumes, such as 1 l and 2 l, the manufacturer suggests the Aquaforest Lab varieties, which offer a more concentrated solution.

Compatibility

Use with KH-raising products such as KH Plus or KH Buffer, because the effectiveness of calcium supplementation depends on the proper KH level. Keep magnesium within its recommended range as well.
