Aqua Medic Hydrocarbonate is a pure natural product. It is used in Calcium reactors, and may be used in filters to increase the hardness of water, and as a substrate material in marine or Malawi/Tanganyika aquaria. A natural calcium-carbonic acid equilibrium is created in all aquariums with an alkaline pH value, and in a Calciumreactor supplied with CO2, the hydrocarbonate is completely dissolved to calcium bicarbonate, becoming available for assimilation by hard and many soft corals, sponges, echinoderms, etc.
Aqua Medic Hydrocarbonate available in 3 grain sizes: and 3 packaging sizes: fine (1 – 2 mm) for hardening filters, medium (3 – 5 mm) for Calciumreactors, coarse (12 – 15 mm) as filter material.
