Tropic Marin Bio Calcium?

aquataren · 09/02/2007, 09:01 PM

I ran across this product recently @ my lfs and thought to check it out. I only asked because this product was used on a beautiful hard coral reef which did not have a calcium reactor reactor. Based on the literature, the product raise calcium + other minerals but does not alter PH level. Anyone tried this product or have any experience using this versus other calcium supplements? Any input is appreciated.

I was using it for a while and was having good results with it combined with kalkwasser. It is expensive and you need to use quite a bit of it. So combine it with another type of calcium like the kalk or a two part. But its good stuff I dislike water changes and I always believe that it helped me keep up my trace elements cause I had good sps growth.

rcypert - thanks for your comments. I thought it might be just as much.

I decided to get the 10 lbs. package and see how that goes. Since I have just a hard corals maybe this might be all I need and not have to continue this and kalk or two part.
