ASKOLL CALCIUM TEST – Titration Test for Measuring Calcium in Marine Aquariums
ASKOLL CALCIUM TEST is a titration kit designed for accurate measurement of calcium concentration in marine aquariums. Calcium is essential for coral growth, invertebrate shell formation, and calcareous algae development. Stable calcium levels are crucial for maintaining a healthy reef ecosystem.
This test provides precise results through a color change titration reaction and is suitable for reef tanks as well as fish-only marine systems. Ideal for advanced aquarists who want full control over their aquarium’s mineral balance.
Kit contents:
• 1 bottle of Ca 1 reagent (10 ml)
• 1 bottle of Ca 3 reagent (50 ml)
• 1 green container with Ca 2 powder reagent
• 1 test vial
• 1 syringe with tip
• Instruction sheet and conversion chart
Recommended values:
• Reef tanks (corals/algae): 400–450 mg/L
• Fish-only systems: 350–400 mg/L
How to perform the test:
- 
Rinse the test vial with sample water 
- 
Fill with 5 ml of aquarium water 
- 
Add 5 drops of Ca 1 reagent, shake 
- 
Add 1 spoonful of Ca 2 powder, close and shake – the solution will turn red-violet 
- 
Draw 1 ml of Ca 3 reagent with the syringe, add slowly until the solution turns blue 
- 
Multiply the amount used (in ml) by 500 to determine calcium concentration
 Example: 0.80 ml × 500 = 400 mg/L calcium
