The Seachem Complete Saltwater Conditioner for Aquariums is a concentrated (160,000 mg/L) optimized blend of ionic calcium that is designed to restore and maintain calcium levels in natural seawater while not affecting pH. Calcium and carbonates are required for the growth of all corals. If either becomes deficient, coral growth will stop, and coral health will rapidly deteriorate. To avoid this, add calcium (Reef Complete®) and carbonates (Reef Builder or Reef Carbonate).
Reef Complete® also contains magnesium and strontium in proportion to typical utilization ratios (100:5:0.1, Ca:Mg:Sr). This allows one to keep these two essential elements while also keeping calcium.
Reef Complete® is a composite product. It's not just calcium chloride. Ammonia is present in commercially available calcium chloride. Reef Complete®, unlike other ionic calcium supplements, is blended to a higher pH to force the ammonia to gas off into the atmosphere. Furthermore, Reef Complete® is the most concentrated liquid product on the market. Reef Complete® has a calcium content of 160,000 ppm. The calcium content of our nearest competitor's product is only 110,000 ppm.
Caution: Do not overdose. Excess calcium may enhance the loss of carbonate alkalinity. Do not directly mix with any carbonate supplement. Best if calcium & carbonate additives are added on alternate days or at least 30 minutes apart
