Reef2reef High Calcium

I have liquid calcium but have yet to use it because calcium has been reading 500ppm. Maintaining the calcium level is one of the most important aspects of coral reef aquarium husbandry.

Reef2reef high calcium. Most reef aquarists try to maintain approximately natural levels of calcium in their aquaria 420 ppm. There is the rare reefer who has very high nutrients and a stable and pretty tank. I dose reef builder for alk when needed.

Start date Apr 29 2020. I mixed 5 gallons of the salt he was usingwe use the same HW reefer and it. I just did a 55-60ish water change today and the levels have changed to alakalinity at 80 and Calcium.

If these calcium phosphate crystals are formed in the water column eg. High phosphates reduce coral calcification and generally feed unwanted algae. Most people find with very high nutrients that SPS coral will turn brown.

So I recently tested myfriends calcium and it was over 600 using a Hanna tester and I checked my tank just to see if It was accurate cause that seemed really high to me and mine tested at 510. It does not appear that boosting the calcium concentration above natural levels enhances calcification ie skeletal growth in most corals. For over 18 months this hot rod of chemistry management has been on total cruise control keeping calcium and alkalinity levels high so when the output suddenly dropped this week we knew it was finally time to clean and top up the calcium reactor.

Combined with the locally high calcium level also from the limewater the locally high PO 4 level may push the supersaturation of Ca 3 PO 4 2 to unstable levels causing precipitation. Milk-based drinks such as malted milk hot chocolate or milkshakes also count but be aware that the sugar in these can be quite high. The Twin Tech Calcium reactor by Deltec has been one of the most critical pieces of equipment for maintaining mineral balance on the largest system at the Reef Builders Studio.

When calcium is high Id generally keep alkalinity normal and just wait for calcium to decline. Drink milk on its own or paired with low-sugar cereal or muesli. Tagged users None Apr 29 2020 1 Perthegallon Valuable Member View Badges.

While it may be as simple as precipitation of calcium phosphate where the high pH high calcium limewater meets the aquarium water the mechanism and extent of this effect in typical reef tanks has not been established. How is my calcium 500 ppm without me dosing calcium. I recently got around to purchasing alkalinity and calcium test kits and have found that my Alkalinity was at 79 last week and Calcium was in the 540s which I know was absurdly high.

Another important consideration for limewater is the upper limit to the amount that can be added to an aquarium. 200ml soya milk calcium fortified 240mg. The above article also discusses the possibilities.

This time on BRStv Investigates were taking on the question Will elevated levels of alkalinity calcium and magnesium increase coral growth rates in a ree. Jun 29 2020. High nitrates also have been reported to feed algae and dinoflagellates.

I use reef crystals salt do 10 water change in a 75g once a week. If it is super high like 1000 ppm from some sort of dosing disaster Id do some water changes. If they form at the local area where limewater hits the aquarium water then they may become coated with organics and be skimmed out.
