Benefits
Corals and other calcifying organisms require a consistent supply of calcium and carbonate for healthy growth and skeletal development. Aquaforest KalkMedia provides these essential components through a calcium reactor while also supplying selected trace elements.
Its carefully controlled 5–12mm granulation allows water to flow efficiently through the media, helping reduce the risk of clogging and supporting consistent reactor performance.
Regular use can help maintain stable calcium and alkalinity levels while contributing to a more stable environment for demanding reef inhabitants.
What's Special About KalkMedia?
Rich in Trace Elements
KalkMedia contains more than just calcium and carbonates. Its formula also provides essential trace elements that can contribute to coral health and development.
Stable Water Parameters
When used correctly in a calcium reactor, KalkMedia helps maintain calcium, carbonate availability, water hardness and stable pH conditions within the aquarium.
Optimised 5–12mm Granulation
The carefully selected particle size promotes smooth water flow and helps prevent the media from compacting and restricting reactor performance.
How to Use
-
Rinse the media with RO water before use.
- Fill your calcium reactor with KalkMedia according to the reactor manufacturer's instructions.
- Connect the calcium reactor and ensure all tubing is correctly installed and securely connected.
- Set up the reactor according to the manufacturer's recommended operating procedure.
- Monitor CO₂ levels to ensure effective dissolution of the media.
- Maintain the reactor pH between 6.2 and 6.5 for effective calcium and carbonate release.
- Regularly monitor your aquarium's calcium, alkalinity and other relevant water parameters and adjust the reactor settings as required.
