Triton Calcium Increaser is a pharmaceutical-grade Calcium Chloride ($CaCl_2$) powder designed for the precise adjustment and maintenance of calcium levels in marine reef aquariums. Calcium is a fundamental macro-element required by all calcifying organisms, including stony corals (SPS/LPS), tridacnid clams, and coralline algae, to build their aragonite skeletons and shells. By utilizing ultra-pure raw materials, Triton ensures that calcium levels can be raised without introducing unwanted heavy metals or impurities, making it the safest choice for high-end reef systems where water quality is paramount.
This high-purity supplement provides the essential building blocks for a thriving, growing reef environment.
Rapid Skeletal Development: Supplies the $Ca^{2+}$ ions necessary for corals to achieve maximum growth rates and dense skeletal structures.
Pharmaceutical Purity: Sourced from the highest quality $CaCl_2$ to ensure the absence of contaminants that could irritate sensitive coral tissue.
Ionic Balance Support: Formulated to integrate seamlessly with the Triton Method, ensuring that corrections do not disrupt the delicate balance of other major ions.
Customizable Concentration: The powder format allows for the creation of high-potency stock solutions or direct dosing (after dissolution) for significant level corrections.
Residue-Free Formula: Dissolves clearly and completely in RO/DI water, ensuring no cloudy precipitates are introduced into the aquarium.
| Parameter | Recommended Value |

How do I mix Triton Calcium Increaser?
Dissolve the required weight of powder into RO/DI water to create a liquid stock solution. For precise corrections, refer to the Triton Dose Calculator or your ICP-OES report to determine the exact grams needed for your total system volume.
Why should I use powder instead of a liquid supplement?
The powder format is more cost-effective for larger systems and offers the flexibility to create much stronger concentrations for one-time corrections of significant deficiencies.
Can I dose this at the same time as my Alkalinity Increaser?
You should space out the dosing of Calcium and Alkalinity by at least 10–15 minutes in a high-flow area. Dosing them simultaneously in the same spot can cause "snowing" (calcium carbonate precipitation).
Does this affect my Salinity?
Yes. Adding Calcium Chloride (and Sodium Bicarbonate) will slowly increase the salinity of your aquarium over time. Regular monitoring of your salinity and adjustments during water changes are recommended.
Triton Alkalinity Increaser (NaHCO3): The essential partner for calcium; both must be maintained in a specific ratio for successful reef keeping.
Triton Magnesium 1000g: Necessary to keep calcium in solution; if magnesium is too low, your calcium levels will become unstable.

Triton ICP-OES Water Test: The most accurate diagnostic tool to monitor your "Big Three" (Ca, Mg, KH) and ensure your ionic balance is perfect.
