Why Use ESV B-Ionic Calcium Buffer?
Reef aquariums with stony corals, coralline algae, clams, and other calcium-consuming organisms need stable calcium levels for healthy growth. ESV B-Ionic Calcium Buffer provides a reliable way to replenish calcium that is used over time in reef systems.
This product is especially useful for aquariums with higher calcium demand or reef keepers using a 2-part dosing routine. Regular testing and consistent dosing can help maintain stable reef parameters and support healthy coral development.
Directions for Use
Dose according to the calcium consumption of your aquarium. Test calcium levels regularly and adjust dosing gradually based on test results and system demand.
ESV B-Ionic Calcium Buffer is designed to be used alongside alkalinity supplementation as part of a balanced reef dosing routine. Do not mix calcium and alkalinity solutions directly together before dosing, as this can cause precipitation.
