Triton Calcium 1000g – High-Purity Macro-Element Supplement
Triton Calcium is a pharmaceutical-grade, dry macro-element supplement designed for the precise maintenance and correction of calcium levels in marine reef aquariums. Calcium is the primary building block of the aragonite skeletons formed by SPS and LPS corals, as well as the structures of coralline algae and many invertebrates. By utilizing ultra-pure raw materials, Triton ensures that your calcium levels can be adjusted without introducing unwanted heavy metals or impurities. This 1000g powder format is a cost-effective and flexible solution for maintaining the structural growth and health of a thriving coral reef.

FAQ Section: Common Questions
-
How do I mix Triton Calcium powder?
Dissolve the required weight of powder into RO/DI water to create a liquid stock solution. For specific corrections, use the Triton Dose Calculator or follow the recommendations provided in your ICP-OES report to determine the exact grams needed for your aquarium volume.
-
Can I dose this directly into the aquarium?
It is highly recommended to dissolve the powder in RO/DI water first. Pour the resulting solution into a high-flow area of the sump to ensure even distribution and prevent localized precipitation.
-
What happens if my Calcium is too high?
Excessively high calcium (above 500 mg/L) can lead to a drop in alkalinity ($KH$) and cause precipitation on heaters and pump impellers. It is best to let the level drop naturally through coral consumption before resuming dosing.
-
Does it contain Trace Elements?
No. This is a pure calcium supplement. For a complete solution that includes trace elements, it is recommended to use Triton Core7 Base Elements.
