NYOS Ion-B Ca/Mg+ Liquid

NYOS ION-B CA/MG+ Liquid replenishes calcium, magnesium, and selected ion-balancing elements in marine aquariums. The premixed solution requires no dilution and is suitable for manual dosing or automatic dosing pumps.

The ION-B system reflects the approximate 1:7 relationship between alkalinity and calcium consumption during coral calcification. Therefore, CA/MG+ and ALK/pH+ are generally dosed in equal quantities, with final dosing adjusted according to measured aquarium consumption.

Key features

• Ready-to-use calcium and magnesium solution
• Designed for marine and reef aquariums
• Part of the NYOS ION-B two-part method
• Replenishes calcium and magnesium
• Contains strontium, potassium, and boron
• Supports balanced seawater ion composition
• Helps prevent long-term ion shift
• Suitable for SPS, LPS, and mixed reefs
• No mixing or dilution required
• Suitable for manual dosing
• Suitable for automatic dosing pumps
• Usually dosed equally with ION-B ALK/pH+
• Starting guideline: 5–10 ml per 100 litres daily
• Available in 2,000 ml and 5,000 ml containers

Dosage

Starting guideline:

5–10 ml per 100 litres of actual aquarium-system water volume daily.

Adjust the dosage according to measured daily alkalinity and calcium consumption. In most systems, dose equal quantities of ION-B CA/MG+ and ION-B ALK/pH+.

Instructions

1. Measure alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium.
2. Calculate the actual system water volume.
3. Determine daily alkalinity consumption.
4. Begin with 5–10 ml per 100 litres daily.
5. Dose equal quantities of CA/MG+ and ALK/pH+ unless testing indicates otherwise.
6. Divide the daily quantity into several small doses.
7. Dose into an area with strong water circulation.
8. Keep CA/MG+ and ALK/pH+ in separate containers.
9. Do not dose both solutions simultaneously at the same location.
10. Monitor alkalinity daily during adjustment.
11. Test calcium and magnesium regularly.
12. Adjust dosing gradually.
