Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium

Enables the addition of biologically ideal calcium to the reef aquarium:

All calcareous animals, especially corals need calcium and carbonates to grow and flourish. However the growth rate of corals depends mostly on the zooxanthellae (algae) that live symbiotically within them. These algae present the coral with precious carbohydrates of their own metabolism. As they photosynthesize, they use carbon dioxide from the water, which enables the coral to precipitate calcium carbonate in its skeleton. Only when calcium and carbon dioxide are available together can this symbiotic relationship work. Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium is the ideal source of both calcium carbonate for the corals and carbon dioxide for the zooxanthellae

Outros produtos como tamponadores e/ou compostos de vários elementos químicos são de pouca valia, e alguns, por terem em sua formulação compostos que provocam a liberação de CO2 na água podem causar algas indesejáveis no sistema, se o aquário estiver saturado de matéria orgânica dissolvida.
