Liquid Reactor is a complete calcium
buffer system designed to give the same results as costly calcium reactor
systems without investing in a reactor, CO2 tank, solenoid, and pH controller;
also, there is no risk of overdosing CO2 and causing subsequent problems with
algae and/or pH. This product will raise the concentrations of calcium,
magnesium, strontium, and carbonates (alkalinity) in the system, and is
chloride, phosphate, nitrate and gluconate free! Each 16 oz of Liquid Reactor
will treat 5000 gallons and contains 126000 ppm of calcium and 193000 ppm
carbonates.
Kent Marine Liquid Reactor is an aqueous complex of calcium and carbonates;
additionally, it provides magnesium, strontium and trace minerals. This material
originates from ancient marine deposits that are now terrestial (not collected
from current marine environments, and so does not contribute to reef-destructive
collection practices). Liquid Reactor is free of pollutants, and organics which
may be present in aquatic muds of terrestrial origin. This is a simple means to
dose calcium, magnesium and carbonates to reef aquariums without the high cost,
maintenance, and potential for CO2 overdosing associated with calcium reactor
systems. Furthermore, hobbyists wishing to avoid addition or chloride ions to
their reefs will benefit greatly from Liquid Reactor as it is chloride free and
will not cause ionic imbalance! The rate of calcium and carbonate depletion
within an aquarium will govern the rate at which the residual concentration of
these ions is increased by Liquid Reactor. Liquid Reactor is designed to work
well with all Kent products. Hobbyists may choose to add other Kent Marine
supplements to target specific ion deficiencies in their systems, revealed by
testing or to raise levels more rapidly. Kalkwasser Mix or any Kent calcium
product, or Tech CB and Tech M may be used simultaneously, if necessary or
desired. If you choose to use these products, less will be required so be
conservative in doing so. Use Kent Marine Essential Elements, Coral Vite and
Tech I, simultaneously to maintain proper water parameters between water changes
with Kent Sea Salt, and add PhytoPlex, coral Accel and new ChromaPlex to provide
optimal nutrition for filter-feeding marine invertebrates. A pH of 8.0 to 8.3
and an alkalinity of 2.9 to 4.5 meq/L (8 to 12 dKH) is recommended. Calcium
level should be maintained between 400 and 450 ppm. Test calcium and alkalinity
and adjust the recommended dose for your particular system.
Instructions:
Shake vigorously for 5-10 seconds immediately before each use! Add 5-10 ml (cap
on 16 oz bottle equals 5 ml, cap on 64oz and gallon equals 10 ml) per 55 gallons
(200L) aquarium capacity directly to an area of high water flow each day until
target calcium level and alkalinity are reached. This product is intended to
cloud the aquarium and any cloudiness observed (due to its highly-concentrated
formula) will dissipate within an hour or so. It is strongly recommended that
Liquid Reactor be added to the system at night, in order to counter the natural
tendency for pH to decrease during this time, and to allow time for the aquarium
to clear. Each 1 ml of Liquid Reactor per gallon of purified water will increase
the concentration of calcium by 33 ppm and carbonates by 51 ppm.
Active Ingredients:
RO/DI water, chloride-free calcium, magnesium and strontium salts from natural
sources.
