Concentrated Calcium & Alkalinity for Advanced Reefers!

Tropic Marin Carbo-Calcium contains a balanced ratio of calcium and carbonate (alkalinity) in a single solution. Traditionally two or more solutions are required but Carbo-Calcium relies on biological processes to release calcium and carbonate from a single liquid without the worry of precipitation or oxygen depletion. There are no by-products or unwanted excess CO2, phosphates, nitrates, or other pollutants while keeping a stable pH. 

  • A little powder makes a lot of liquid
  • Easy to mix with RODI water
  • Maintains proper ionic balance
  • Doesn't increase salinity (no sodium chloride)
  • Single solution for calcium & alkalinity
  • Suitable for all size aquariums
  • No byproduct formation
  • Suitable for all types of corals
  • Easy to use 
  • Dosing pump ready once mixed

 

Two Sizes Available:

  • 700 g
  • 1400 g

 

Instructions:

Mixing

  • The 700 g (1.5 lbs.) can of Carbocalcium Powder is sufficient for 5 liters (1.3 gallons) liquid solution, the 1400 g (3 lbs.) can for 10 liters (2.6 gallons) liquid solution.
  • 6 level measuring spoons of Carbocalcium Powder are dissolved in 1 liter (0.26 gallons) reverse osmosis water to create the liquid mineral solution.

Dosing

  • Starting with a daily dose of 5 ml of Carbo-Calcium liquid solution per 100 liters (26 gallons) of total system volume. Increase the daily dose by monitoring the alkalinity. Increase the dose by 2.5 ml per 100 liters until a constant alkalinity of 7-9 dKH is achieved. 

 

Note: In larger systems, Carbo-Calcium Powder can be added directly to a high flow area of your tank without any pre-mixing.

Hey there,

Take care
