Add 5 ml (1 capful) of product per 25 US-gallons of aquarium water every other day or as needed to maintain the calcium concentration within a range of 412 - 450 ppm. When used in this fashion, 250 ml treats up to 1,250 US-gallons (4,732 L). When used in equal amounts with Reef Cōde B, the calcium and carbonates being added are in the same ratio found in natural seawater. Do not mix products in the same container; this will cause the active components to precipitate and become ineffective. Allow 60 seconds to pass between dosing Reef Cōde A and B. This method of calcium and carbonate supplementation is advantageous to hobbyists interested in a simple and effective means of providing the very elements and molecules required for growth of reef-building organisms such as corals, clams, and their allies. Corals and other reef-building organisms require adequate and stable available calcium and alkalinity if they are to thrive, regardless of how perfect the remainder of their environment is. Under most conditions, the mineral that is secreted as skeletal material is known as Aragonite, composed mostly of carbonate and calcium by weight. Reef-building organisms must extract these substances from the surrounding water in order to secrete new skeletal material for growth. By maintaining the same ratio of calcium ions and carbonates in an aquarium as that found in natural seawater, these organisms have the necessary building blocks available in the proper proportions, even if the hobbyist chooses to maintain higher concentrations of these substances.For maximum effectiveness of the Reef Code method, the magnesium concentration in reef aquaria should be adjusted to, and maintained between, 1,290 - 1,320 ppm before using these products (alone or together) or any other calcium and alkalinity products. Doing so helps prevent unwanted precipitation between calcium and carbonate ions. Additional information on this subject is available on our website and on the label for Brightwell Aquatics Magnesion.The rate at which calcium and carbonates are extracted from the water is determined by the stocking density of reef-building livestock, type of lighting, and other conditions; therefore, each aquarium will have different requirements for the rate of supplementation. Once the rate of calcium uptake in the aquarium has been determined, the proper dosing rate of this product can be easily calculated. 10028768 810086010462 4.8000lbs 0.00 0.00 0.00

Because we are a major distributor for some products, we price very aggressively by sacrificing profit margin whenever we sell in bulk. The philosophy to offer quality products with little mark up has created unmatched customer loyalty for some successful membership based stores. Unlike those wholesale to public membership clubs, we do not charge any membership fee. Some merchants offer FREE shipping, but when you buy quantity 10, you pay 10 times total. Essentially, you are paying 10 times on shipping. We don't think that is fair to you. Why? Most of the time, shipping a 10 lb parcel does not cost 10 times of a 1 lb parcel.

Here is an example:

Quantity: 10	Quantity: 10
Total Shipping for quantity 10: $18	Total Shipping: FREE
Subtotal: $98 Saving: $102 (51%)	Subtotal: $200

Don't be shy. If you discover any competitor outselling us in a particular product, whenever you purchase in large quantity, please bring it to our attention. Most of the time, we will match or beat their price, and give you a credit. If we lose to a competitor, it is our shame. We then know we need to work harder in sourcing to create values for you.

* Price comparison must be based on comparable brands or models and in bulk quantity purchase.

Product Description

The calcium-bearing component of a two-part method for dosing calcium and carbonates (the substances largely responsible for increasing alkalinity (・buffering capacity・)) in the same ratio as that found in natural seawater
Ionically-balanced with respect to natural seawater concentrations of calcium and carbonates when used in equal amounts with Reef Cōde B
Benefits reef-building organisms such as corals, clams, calcareous algae, etc.
Simplifies calcium and alkalinity maintenance
Stronger than most competing products
Contains no phosphate, silicate, or organic material
Formulated by a marine scientist
