The API Saltwater Calcium Test Kit is a reliable tool designed to accurately measure calcium levels in saltwater aquariums, ensuring the health and growth of corals, crustaceans, mollusks, and encrusting algae.
Maintaining appropriate calcium concentrations is vital for reef aquariums, as calcium is essential for the skeletal development of many marine organisms.
Key Features:
High Sensitivity (20 mg/L increments) Detects low calcium concentrations, making it suitable for tracking subtle changes over time.
Titration-Based Accuracy Uses a two-step titration method to transition from pink to blue, offering more precise readings than simple color-strip tests.
Comprehensive Kit Contents Includes two reagent bottles, a glass test tube with cap, detailed instructions, and an easy-to-use color comparison chart.
User-Friendly Procedure
Add 5 ml of aquarium water to the test tube
Add 10 drops of Reagent #1 and shake
Add Reagent #2 drop-by-drop until the solution turns from pink, through purple, to a stable blue endpoint
Compare the number of drops to the chart for calcium concentration.
Reef-Specific Design Calibrated for saltwater use only, making it ideal for reef aquaria with calcium-demanding organisms .
