Q: I have the Reef Complete calcium supplement, and I was wondering exactly what kind of calcium is in this stuff. I also would like to know if this kind of calcium is able to be accurately detected by the SeaTest calcium test kit.
A: The type of calcium in Reef Complete is an ionic form of calcium (calcium chloride) and is easily detected by the available calcium test kits on the market.
Q: Can Reef Complete be used alone for raising and maintaining calcum or do you need to use Reef Calcium also?
A: You can have a successful reef aquarium without the use of Reef Calcium as a supplemental source of calcium. The advantage of Reef Calcium, which is very unique to our company, is that this source of calcium is bound to an easily metabolized carbohydrate. When the coral metabolizes this carbohydrate, which takes virtually no energy from the coral, the calcium goes right along with it. Because of the form of calcium this is, it can not be as concentrated as Reef Complete. Because of this it is more economical to use Reef Complete as your primary calcium supplement, but you also derive a benefit when using Reef Calcium as a secondary calcium supplement..
Q: Do Ihave to turn off my canister filter and protein skimmer when I add Reef Complete?
A: No, Reef Complete will not be impacted by a canister or protein skimmer. It is perfectly acceptable to leave this equipment running while dosing this supplement.
