CA/MG PRO – Professional Test for Calcium and Magnesium Measurement in Marine Water
CA/MG PRO is an essential tool for marine aquarists designed to precisely measure calcium (Ca²⁺) and magnesium (Mg²⁺) concentrations in seawater. These two elements are among the main components of natural seawater, along with sodium, potassium, chloride, and sulfate, and are crucial for the growth and health of marine organisms that develop calcareous skeletons, such as scleractinian corals and coralline algae.
Calcium and magnesium are not only the structural base of the calcareous skeleton but also participate in numerous vital biochemical processes. Cellular metabolism and skeleton formation can deplete their concentrations, requiring regular testing and targeted supplementation to maintain optimal living conditions and prevent long-term damage.
In natural seawater, calcium concentrations range from 400 to 410 mg/l, and magnesium ranges from 1280 to 1320 mg/l, maintaining a fixed ratio of approximately 1:3.25. It is important to maintain a similar ratio in marine aquariums due to their chemical and biochemical interactions.
