| 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.
