NanoCode A (250ml, 500ml) Major, Minor and Trace Elements for Nano Reef Aquariums

Product details

NanoCode A (250ml, 500ml) Major, Minor and Trace Elements for Nano Reef Aquariums is a calcium-focused component of a two-part calcium and carbonate supplementation approach used in nano reef aquariums. It’s designed to help maintain available calcium and alkalinity (buffering capacity) so reef-building organisms such as corals, clams, and related calcareous species have the building blocks needed for skeletal growth. In practice, many aquarists use it either alone to maintain calcium, or alongside the matching second part (Reef Cōde B) in equal amounts to keep calcium and carbonates in the same ratio as natural seawater. The guidance below focuses on general use in reef systems and the measured dosing approach for keeping calcium within a target range.

Features:

• Two-part calcium/carbonate method designed to support reef-building organisms that require stable available calcium and alkalinity
• Adds calcium in a ratio aligned with natural seawater when used in equal amounts with Reef Cōde B
• Helps simplify calcium and alkalinity maintenance by making dosing straightforward and measurable
• Contains no phosphate, silicate, or organic material
• Shake well before dosing; dosing guidance is based on calcium testing and targeted ppm maintenance
• Formulated by a marine scientist; designed to be calcium-bearing as part of the supplementation system

Specifications:

• Available sizes: 250ml and 500ml
• Dosing (basic): Add 5 ml (1 capful) per 25 US-gallons every other day or as needed to maintain calcium 412–450 ppm
• Estimated coverage (basic): 250 ml treats up to 1,250 US-gallons (4,732 L) when dosed as directed
• Use with Reef Cōde B: Use in equal amounts to align calcium and carbonates with natural seawater ratio; allow 60 seconds between dosing Reef Cōde A and B
• Calcium test guidance (advanced): Each ml of Reef Cōde A increases calcium by ~16 ppm per 1 US-gallon (3.785 L)
• Ingredients: Purified water, Calcium chloride, Magnesium sulfate, Strontium chloride, Magnesium chloride
• Guaranteed analysis (min): Calcium: 1,774 mg/oz (60,000 ppm); Magnesium: 42 mg/oz (1,500 ppm); Strontium: 36 mg/oz (1,200 ppm)
