In saltwater aquariums, calcium should remain in the proper ionic balance along with alkalinity (KH) and magnesium (Mg2+). A calcium level outside of this ionic balance can\u003cbr\u003ecause poor coral skeleton growth and tissue necrosis. Calcium uptake in reef aquariumstested to ensure proper dosing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFreshwater aquariums also require routine monitoring of calcium. Plants require calcium for proper leaf growth and other functions. Invertebrates, such as shrimp and snails, require the right amount of calcium to maintain shell integrity and prevent molting problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosage \/ Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo remove childproof safety cap, push down while turning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFill a test tube with 5 ml of water to be tested (to the line on the tube).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd 10 drops from Calcium Test Solution Bottle #1, holding dropper bottle upside down in a completely vertical position to ensure uniformity of drops added to the water sample.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCap the test tube and gently shake several times to mix solution.
