Turbo Calcium provides bio-available
calcium for lush growth of purple, pink and green calcareous algaes, snails,
hard tube worms and clams. Corals will open more and stay attached to their
skeletons better, with regular use. Phosphate and nitrate free! Contains no
gluconates, EDTA, or other organics to raise DOC levels, as many competing
products do. This product is the main ingredient in other calcium supplements in
economical dry form! Turbo Calcium alone can provide all the calcium your reef
will need, but for maximum results, use Kent Kalkwasser Mix first, then raise
calcium level with this product. Strontium addition via use of Kent Marine
Strontium and Molybdenum Supplement or Turbo Calcium is absolutely necessary.
Use of Coral Vite, and Essential Elements are beneficial, as well.
Instructions:
Start off using 1/8 teaspoon of granules per day on a 50 gallon, lightly loaded
reef tank or 1/4 teaspoon of granules on a heavily loaded one. Since animals use
calcium, and gallons do not, regular testing of calcium level by a good calcium
test kit is absolutely necessary with use of Turbo Calcium. Adjust amount of
addition of the product to achieve a calcium level of about 400 mg/l. A higher
level may result in rapid calcium compound precipitation and deposits which can
possibly be destructive to pumps and other sensitive system equipment. For best
results adjust system KH to 8 to 10 dKH with Superbuffer-dKH or Marine Aquarium
pH•Buffer.
