bluesea calcium plus

[trevy]

hi .. anyone using this bluesea brand calcium plus ? instructions said that 5g treats 10L of water. However the shop fellow told me 1 small teaspoon (I think amount to 5g too) can treat 2ft tank. So which is which.. dun wanna overdoze my tank.

HI trevy, you do not add calcium base on gram per liter but base on your tanks needs.... instructions could be terribly wrong here from both the manufacturer and the shop. Let me give you an analogy...

If you see a loaf of bread, that has instructions as follows "Eat 5 pieces of bread for a 50kg human",

Do you still eat 5 when you are already very full?

Maybe 1 piece would do right?

Similarly, do you still eat 5 when you are extremely hungry?

Perhaps you wanna take more than 5 right?

So what I'm trying to say here is that, you need to measure how much calcium are there in your tank in order to know how much to add. Too little calcium, perhaps 5g would not be enough and corals might still wither away. However, if your tank already have alot of calcium, 5g might give your tank an early xmas (snowstorm).

Hope you get what i mean

cheers
