Aquaforest Calcium CA Test Pro Kit

Aquaforest Calcium CA Test Pro Kit

The Aquaforest Calcium CA Test Pro Kit is a titration-based calcium test kit for saltwater aquariums, designed to give reef keepers a quick and accurate reading of calcium concentration. It is aimed at anyone running a coral reef tank or another marine setup who wants to keep calcium within a stable, suitable range.

Key Benefits

• Measures calcium concentration quickly and accurately in saltwater aquariums, with particular focus on coral reef tanks.
• Every test kit batch is certified and approved using Aquaforest ICP-OES testing reference solutions.
• Titration method with an unlimited testing range, so it is not capped at a fixed upper reading.
• Delivers 55-65 tests per kit, depending on the reagent volume each test requires.
• Supplied with a calcium reference solution and a quality certificate.

Why Test Calcium?

As corals grow, they take up calcium and carbonate ions and, through a biological process, use them to build their hard skeletons. Regular calcium testing is important for any saltwater tank, and especially for reef aquariums, where it should be monitored alongside alkalinity and magnesium levels.

Recommended Calcium Level

• 400 ppm - 450 ppm

Suitable For

• Saltwater aquariums
• Coral reef tanks
• Other marine environments where calcium concentration needs to be checked

Frequently Asked Questions

What calcium level should I aim for in my reef tank?
The recommended calcium level is 400 ppm - 450 ppm.

What type of test is this?
It is a titration test with an unlimited testing range.

How many tests can I get from one kit?
The kit provides 55-65 tests, depending on the reagent volume required per test.

Why does calcium matter for corals?
Corals take in calcium and carbonate ions as they grow and use them to form their hard skeletons through a biological process. This is why calcium should be tested regularly in reef tanks, along with alkalinity and magnesium.

How is the accuracy of the kit verified?
Every test kit batch is certified and approved using Aquaforest ICP-OES testing reference solutions. A quality certificate is included in the kit.

Does the kit include everything needed to run the test?
It includes two syringes (3 ml and 1 ml), a syringe tip, a test vial, a calcium reference solution, an instruction card and a quality certificate.
