Reef Code A – Brightwell Aquatics

Product details

Reef Code A – Brightwell Aquatics is the calcium-bearing part of a two-part system designed to dose calcium and carbonates in the same ratio found in natural seawater (when used together with Reef Code B). In reef aquariums, maintaining adequate and stable available calcium helps reef-building organisms such as corals, clams, and other calcareous life maintain skeletal growth; practical use is to calculate your aquarium’s calcium consumption and dose Reef Code A accordingly (with Reef Code B dosed separately, after a short wait). This product contains no phosphate, silicate, or organic material and is intended to simplify calcium and alkalinity maintenance as part of the Reef Code method.

Features:

• Calcium-focused component for a two-part dosing approach that targets natural seawater calcium-to-carbonate balance when paired with Reef Code B
• Helps support reef-building organisms that require available calcium and alkalinity for aragonite (skeletal) formation
• No phosphate, silicate, or organic material
• Ionically-balanced with respect to natural seawater concentrations of calcium and carbonates when used in equal amounts with Reef Code B
• Formulated to provide a simple method of supplying the elements needed for reef growth, with dosing rates based on your aquarium’s calcium uptake
• Designed to be used carefully: shake before dosing and keep a waiting period between dosing Reef Code A and Reef Code B to avoid precipitation
• Cautionary handling guidance included: may cause eye or skin irritation; keep out of reach of children and do not ingest

Specifications:

• Product name: Reef Code A – Brightwell Aquatics
• Aquarium suitability: Marine/reef aquariums requiring calcium supplementation as part of the Reef Code two-part method
• Recommended use with Reef Code B: Use Reef Code A and Reef Code B in equal amounts for natural seawater ratio; allow 60 seconds between dosing A and B (do not mix in the same container)
• Basic dosing rate: 5 ml (1 capful) per 25 US-gallons every other day or as needed to maintain calcium within 412–450 ppm
• Coverage (for 250 ml): 250 ml treats up to 1,250 US-gallons
• Per-dose calcium rise (theoretical): Each ml increases calcium by ~16 ppm in 1 US-gallon (3.785 L)
• Advanced dosing guidance: Adjust dose based on measured calcium; if below 412 ppm, dose up to 5 ml per 10 US-gallons daily until target is reached, then dose daily or weekly as needed
• Magnesium prerequisite: Magnesium in the reef aquarium should be maintained between 1,290–1,320 ppm before using these products to help prevent unwanted precipitation
• 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)
• Ingredients: Purified water, calcium chloride, magnesium sulfate, strontium chloride, magnesium chloride
• Available sizes: 250 ml, 500 ml, 2 L, 20 L
