Reef Sculpture A and B pH Products Calcium Compounds ionically balanced calcium and alkalinity system for all marine fish and reef aquaria and a two part solution and purchased separately for Reef Sculpture A and Reef Sculpture B.
The Continuum advantage.
Reef Sculpture parts A and B, when used together and as directed are an ionically balanced calcium and alkalinity control system.
Unlike many other products which will cause a buildup of chlorides or other ions, Reef Sculpture will maintain seawater ratios of important ions.
When used as directed it will maintain calcium and buffering capacity in the same ratio found in natural seawater. It contains no acetate, gluconates, polygluconates or other unnecessary organics to pollute your aquarium.
It is phosphate and nitrate free.Use in aquarium keeping.
Proper control of calcium level is imperative for the health and growth of corals and many other invertebrates. If the calcium concentration is too low, growth rates will suffer.
If it is too high, alkalinity or buffering capacity will be diminished, leading to possible instability of pH.
Sufficient magnesium levels are also necessary to maintain the proper balance.
It is therefore recommended that the hobbyist measure and control the levels of calcium, magnesium and alkalinity on a regular basis. Strontium is also required for formation of aragonite.
Continuum recommends that you maintain a calcium level of between 410 and 450 mg/L (ppm), an alkalinity level of 7 to 11 dKH (2.5 to 4 meq/L), and a magnesium level of 1250 to 1350 mg/L (ppm).
Note: Aquarists keeping SPS corals should consider keeping alkalinity at 7 to no more than 9 dKH (2.5 to 3.21 meq/L).
Do not add part A (or other calcium products) and part B or other buffering (alkalinity products) simultaneously, wait a few minutes and allow for plenty of circulation prior.
This way you will avoid unnecessary precipitation and possible cloudiness.
