Highly concentrated formula for raising calcium levels in marine aquariums. Ca Plus was created for maintaining shortages and sudden drops of calcium levels. Due to the most assimilable form it ensures easy raising of calcium levels in the aquarium. Calcium is necessary for corals to grow and its deficiencies may result in significant inhibition or stoppage of growth. Ca Plus supports calcification and provides corals healthy growth. The effectiveness of Ca Plus supplementation depends on the proper KH level, therefore it is recommended to use products that raise carbonate hardness (KH Plus or KH Buffer).
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 is 20 ml of Ca Plus per 100 l (27 US gal) of water. Recommended calcium level in reef aquarium is 380-460/l (ppm). Please ensure your magnesium level is within the recommended range before attempting to raise or adjust your calcium and alkalinity levels.
Worth knowing: Contains CaCl2. Causes serious eye irritation. Keep out of reach of children. Eye protection. IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.
Collapsible content
LIGHT
LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.
MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height.
HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.
FLOW
LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.
MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.
HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.
SKILL
ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.
While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
