It must be taken into account that the natural carbonate hardness is approximately just […]

Some increasingly better maintenance methods and progress in the aquariology technique enabled the breeding and reproduction of hard corals. This, moreover, made it necessary to provide many lime builders with the essential calcium and hydrogen carbonate ions. For the maintenance of the hard corals, […]
