Liquid
Reactor is a complete calcium buffer system designed to give the same
results as costly calcium reactor systems without investing in a
reactor, CO2 tank, solenoid, and pH controller; also, there is no risk
of overdosing CO2 and causing subsequent problems with algae and/or pH.
This product will raise the concentrations of calcium, magnesium,
strontium, and carbonates (alkalinity) in the system, and is chloride,
phosphate, nitrate, and gluconate free! Each 16 oz. of Liquid Reactor
will treat 5,000 gallons or 18,900 liters and contains 126,000 ppm of
calcium and 193,000 ppm carbonates.
Directions:
Shake
vigorously for 5-10 seconds immediately before each use! Add 5-10 ml
(Cap on 16 oz. bottle equals 5 ml, Cap on 64 oz. and gallon equals 10
ml) per 55 gallons (200 L) aquarium capacity directly to an area of
high water flow each day until target calcium level and alkalinity are
reached. This product is intended to cloud the aquarium and any
cloudiness observed (due to its highly-concentrated formula) will
dissipate within an hour or so. It is strongly recommended that Liquid
Reactor be added to the system at night, in order to counter the
natural tendency for pH to decrease during this time, and to allow time
for the aquarium to clear. Each 1 ml of Liquid Reactor per gallon of
purified water will increase the concentration of calcium by 33 ppm and
carbonates by 51 ppm.
Considerations for use:
Kent
Marine Liquid Reactor is an aqueous complex of calcium and carbonates;
additionally, it provides magnesium, strontium and trace minerals.
This material originates from ancient marine deposits that are now
terrestrial (not collected from current marine environments, and so
does not contribute to reef-destructive collection practices). Liquid
Reactor is free of pollutants, and organics which may be present in
aquatic muds of terrestrial origin. This is a simple means to dose
calcium, magnesium, and carbonates to reef aquariums without the high
cost, maintenance, and potential for CO2 overdosing associated with
calcium reactor systems. Furthermore, hobbyists wishing to avoid
addition of chloride ions to their reefs will benefit greatly from
Liquid Reactor as it is chloride-free and will not cause ionic
imbalance!
The rate of calcium and carbonate depletion within an
aquarium will govern the rate at which the residual concentration of
these ions is increased by Liquid Reactor. Liquid Reactor is designed
to work well with all Kent products. Hobbyists may choose to add other
Kent Marine supplements to target specific ion deficiencies in their
systems, revealed by testing or to raise levels more rapidly.
Kalkwasser Mix or any Kent calcium product, or Tech CBTM and Tech MTM
may be used simultaneously, if necessary or desired. If you choose to
use these products, less will be required, so be conservative with
dosing. Use Kent Marine Essential ElementsTM, Coral-ViteTM, and Tech ITM, simultaneously to maintain proper water parameters between water changes with Kent Sea Salt, and add PhytoPlexTM, Coral AccelTM, and new ChromaPlexTM to provide optimal nutrition for filter-feeding marine invertebrates.
A
pH of 8.0 to 8.3 and an alkalinity of 2.9 to 4.5 meq/L (8 to 12 dKH) is
recommended. Calcium level should be maintained between 400 and 450
ppm. Test calcium & alkalinity and adjust the recommended dose
for your particular system! For additional information regarding use
of Liquid Reactor and other Kent products, please visit our informative

Active Ingredients:
RO/DI water, chloride-free calcium, magnesium, and strontium salts from natural sources.
Precautions:
May
cause eye or skin irritation. If in eyes, flush with water for 15
minutes and get medical attention. If on skin, wash thoroughly with
water. Not for human consumption. Keep out of reach of children!
