Maintaining stable calcium levels, typically between 400-450 ppm, is crucial for the health and growth of stony corals, calcareous algae, and other reef inhabitants. Fluctuations of more than approximately 15 mg\/L can negatively impact these organisms.<\/p>\n<p>This titration-style test kit provides results with a resolution of 5 mg\/L and an accuracy of approximately 10 mg\/L, allowing for precise monitoring of calcium concentrations. It is capable of performing between 50 to 100 tests per kit, depending on the calcium levels in your aquarium water.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Use the Salifert Calcium Test Kit<\/h3>\n<p>Follow these steps for accurate results:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fill the provided test vial with 2 mL of aquarium water. For more tests from a single kit, you can use 1 mL of water.<\/li>\n<li>Add one level scoop of Ca-1 reagent to the water sample.<\/li>\n<li>Using the 1 mL syringe and the plastic tip, draw 1 mL of Ca-2 reagent. Add 0.6 mL of Ca-2 reagent to the sample vial at once and swirl gently for about 5 seconds. The mixture should turn pink.<\/li>\n<li>Continue adding the Ca-2 reagent drop by drop to the vial, swirling gently after each drop, until the color changes from pink to blue. A final color change to purple may occur, requiring one or two more drops to achieve a stable blue.<\/li>\n<li>Read the amount of Ca-2 reagent used from the syringe. Consult the included reading table to determine your aquarium&#8217;s calcium concentration. If you used 1 mL of water for testing, multiply the result by two.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Important Considerations<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stability:<\/strong> Aim to maintain a stable calcium level, avoiding large fluctuations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reagent Handling:<\/strong> Ca-2 reagent contains sodium hydroxide and can be irritating. Handle with care and rinse immediately if contact with skin or eyes occurs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mixing:<\/strong> Gently swirl the test vial after each reagent addition. Avoid aggressive or continuous stirring, as this can affect the endpoint stability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Natural Seawater:<\/strong> Natural seawater typically contains 400-450 mg\/L of calcium.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By using the Salifert Calcium Test Kit regularly, you can ensure optimal calcium levels for the thriving health of your marine or reef aquarium.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Salifert C\u00e1lcio (Ca) Teste This Salifert Calcium (Ca) Test Kit is designed for accurate measurement of calcium levels in marine [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":66656,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[200],"product_cat":[168],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-64037","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-salifert","product_cat-testing","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/64037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64037"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=64037"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=64037"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coraisdevidro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=64037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
