Calcium testing and addition

Calcium is a major constituent of calcareous algae, skeletal material of hard corals and the skeletal needles of soft/leather corals. Calcium also fulfills many biological functions.

Quite often a too low calcium concentration retards coral and calcareous algae growth.

NSW contains 400 – 450 mg/L calcium. Which is also the value we should strive for. For a stable aquarium environment the fluctuation in calcium content should preferably not more than approx. 15 mg/L. This automatically means that the calcium test should be able to monitor comparable fluctuations.

Conclusion:
In a healthy aquarium growth and multiplication of corals, desired calcareous algae and other organisms results in calcium depletion. Because of the importance of calcium timely corrective measures would have to be taken. For that purpose a proper calcium additive together with an accurate test kit are required.

Salifert  calcium test is capable in resolving the calcium content in 10 mg/L steps. The color change is sharp and facilitates the detection of small but highly significant fluctuations in the calcium concentration. Salifert is the only one in offering a true accuracy and precision as claimed.

The kit can perform approx. 50 - 100 measurements.

1 Another faulty test kit 03/04/2009 - by Robert Droessler from Iola, KS US
Calcium test kit purchased reads 50 ppm higher than other Salifert calcium test kit purchased prior. This will be the second Salifert test purchased which was found to have been faulty. Also the last I will purchase.
1 Owner is Missing in Action 02/21/2008 - by James Bufkin from Temple Hills, MD US
Actually Mr. Standord, Klechner is correct. Go to reefcentral.com and you will see that Salifert has put out several batches of faulty ALK kits, and the owner goes MIA everytime it happens. Many people have lost a lot of livestock because of these bad kits. Longtime loyal Salifert users, including myself, have switched because of the lack of customer service from Salifert. Anytime the owner goes MIA in situations like this, I refuse to support their business.
5 Don't believe it... 11/11/2007 - by Bryan Stanford from Shiloh, IL US
I think Mr. Kleckner from Danville, KY works for Seachem! ;-) He also gave th Salifert Alkalinity test kit a poor review. Check every forum and discussion group on the Net and you will find that Salifert test kits are the standard. I've been using them for years and all 20 of my healthy and growing Tridacnids will testify to their accuracy!!!!
1 Beware of faulty test kits 11/07/2007 - by Earl Kleckner from Danville, KY US
Inaccurate test kit. I don't trust Salifert at all anymore, and I'm not the only one who is having problems with their kits. There are hundreds of faulty Salifert test kits out there, and Salifert customer service is nonexistent. It used to be a good company, but not anymore.
5 Calcium Test 12/04/2006 - by Phillip Little from Jal, NM US
Well, this is my first Salifert test kit and it seems to be very simple to use. I'm used to using Lamotte or Seachem which are giving me the same results as Salifert. I think for the money, you can't go wrong.

This is the best most accurate test kit for Calcium.I compared the results with an inductively coupled plasma spectrophotometer and the results were exactly the same.One testkit cost $18.00 the other instrument- $100,000.!!
