| B-Ionic Calcium Buffer is the original, unique, easy to use, two-component liquid supplement system, which does not contain any organic compounds. It solves many of the problems associated with other forms of calcium and alkalinity supplementation. This product was developed as a result of our new approach to aquarium additive formulation, "Balanced Ion Technology". |

B-Ionic Calcium Buffer is sold as a unit, which consists
of 2 bottles (component 1 and component 2), plus a measuring beaker.
When used as the sole source of calcium and alkalinity, we recommend
daily additions of 1 ml. of component 1 and 1 ml. of component
2 per 2 gallons of aquarium water. As a calcium and alkalinity
booster for aquaria using kalkwasser, we recommend half that dose.
Since each aquarium has its own unique dynamics associated with
calcium and alkalinity depletion, these dosages can vary as dictated
by calcium and alkalinity test results. In general, we recommend
maintaining 3.0 - 3.75 meg/L alkalinity and 400 - 450 ppm calcium
ion concentration. Since B-Ionic Calcium Buffer is in liquid form,
additions to the aquarium are quick and simple (no mixing or measuring
of powder involved). The time required is usually less than the
time it takes to feed your fish.
B-Ionic Calcium Buffer is ideal for those aquarists who do
not want to deal with kalkwasser dosing systems, or kalkwasser
users who would like to boost their alkalinity and calcium levels
either due to insufficient evaporation or high biological demand
form calcium carbonate.
