Why is calcium important for my marine aquarium?

When it comes to maintaining a reef tank, calcium is an essential element to keep a close eye on. It's one of the major building blocks of aquatic life, helping marine organisms like corals, calcareous algaes and bacterial biofilms to build and shape their exoskeletons.

Calcium is also important for stablising carbonate hardness levels inside your aquarium. This is an important metric to measure as it can affect your pH. As mentioned above, lots of marine organisms use carbonates from the water column to build their exoskeletons, which can deplete their levels and, in turn, reduce pH.

If you have lots of hard corals, your calcium levels are likely to drop quickly and often. This is where Reef Factory's Calcium Reef Minerals come in handy. Just be sure to test your calcium levels before using any supplements or you may risk overdosing your tank!
