Reef Code A (250ml, 500ml) Balanced Calcium and Alkalinity System

Product details

Reef Code A (250ml, 500ml) Balanced Calcium and Alkalinity System is a two-part method component designed to help reef aquariums maintain available calcium and carbonates in a ratio similar to natural seawater. In practice, Reef Code A supplies calcium (and related mineral ions) so corals, clams, and other reef-building organisms have the building blocks they need to form aragonite skeleton material. It is intended to be used as directed on its own or in combination with Reef Code B for balanced calcium and carbonate supplementation.

Features:

• Part of a two-part calcium and carbonate dosing system used in the same ratio as natural seawater when paired with Reef Cōde B
• Formulated to be ionically balanced with natural seawater calcium/carbonate concentrations when dosed in equal amounts with Reef Cōde B
• Supports reef-building organisms such as corals, clams, and calcareous algae by helping maintain stable available calcium and carbonates
• Contains no phosphate, silicate, or organic material, and is intended to simplify calcium and alkalinity maintenance
• Shake well before use; dosing guidance helps account for different aquarium uptake rates
• Includes cautionary handling guidance (may cause eye/skin irritation; not for human consumption)

Specifications:

• Product sizes: 250 ml and 500 ml
• Balanced method pairing: Use in equal amounts with Reef Cōde B to match natural seawater ratios
• Basic dosing (every other day): Add 5 ml (1 capful) per 25 US-gallons every other day (or as needed) to maintain calcium in the range 412–450 ppm
• Basic dosing capacity (250 ml): 250 ml treats up to 1,250 US-gallons
• Advanced dosing boost rate: Approximately 16 ppm calcium per 1 ml per 1 US-gallon
• Magnesium guidance before use: Maintain magnesium between 1,290–1,320 ppm before dosing (helps prevent unwanted precipitation)
• Do not mix guidance: Do not mix Reef Cōde A and B in the same container; allow 60 seconds between dosing Reef Cōde A and B
• Guaranteed analysis (minimum): Calcium 1,774 mg/oz (60,000 ppm), Magnesium 42 mg/oz (1,500 ppm), Strontium 36 mg/oz (1,200 ppm)
• Ingredients: Purified water, Calcium chloride, Magnesium sulfate, Strontium chloride, Magnesium chloride
