2. Theory
The equilibrium between calcium and carbonic acid in a seawater aquarium is destroyed due to the biological
activity of the animals. For the construction of their calcareous skeletons, they take calciumcarbonate out of the
water. As a result, it comes to a lack of calcium and an increase of the pH-value. The Aqua Medic
Calciumreactor KR Blue is a module for adjusting the natural equilibrium between calcium and carbonic acid
in the aquarium. It is filled with Hydrocarbonate, a highly purified calciumcarbonate. Because this
calciumcarbonate is not soluble at pH-values common in saltwater tanks, it is necessary to dose the CO
