Additives: E.S.V. B-Ionic Calcium Buffer & More

E.S.V. Company, Inc. prides itself in its labeling all its products with the names and concentrations of ingredients. In a few instances where formulas are proprietary they still list ionic concentrations. They also list lot numbers on all of their products, along with date tested and filled. All testing is done in their own quality control laboratory.

E.S.V.'s premiere product is B-Ionic Calcium Buffer--the original, unique, easy to use, two-component liquid supplement system. When using equal volumes of each component, the aquarist can easily maintain calcium and alkalinity levels with no mixing powders, disruption of ionic balance, or addition of organic chemicals. In addition to supplying highly concentrated calcium and carbonate alkalinity required for calcification, B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System also provides all other important major, minor, and trace elements in the proper ratios to duplicate the composition of synthetic seawater. As a result, B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System will help restore inorganic ions lost from protein skimming and help maintain the ionic balance of the aquarium water.

E.S.V. B-Ionic Magnesium 32 oz
E.S.V. B-Ionic Magnesium 32 oz
Usually Ships in 1 to 2 Business Days
Our Price: $9.75 In Stock!

Through the chemical process known as "ion-pairing", magnesium ion concentration influences the saturation point for calcium carbonate in solution. In general, the further the magnesium concentration drops from natural seawater levels (1350 ppm), the more difficult it becomes to maintain adequate levels of both calcium and alkalinity. Magnesium also plays an important role in stabilizing pH by interacting with the buffer system of seawater.

E.S.V.'s Bromide Fluoride Supplement conservatively adds important major ions which can be depleted via calcification and biological organic synthesis. Fluoride is concentrated in coral skeleton and may play an important role in calcification. Some marine organisms use bromide to synthesize organic anti-microbial compounds which may enhance their ability to resist disease. Bromide, like iodide, is also highly concentrated in many marine algae. Any export of these algae from the system, such as harvesting algae filters and photosynthetic particulate removal via protein skimming, could result in depletion of bromide.

E.S.V. Calcium Chloride is a very pure anhydrous grade free of phosphates and nitrates. The advantage of using Calcium Chloride as a calcium supplement in marine aquaria is its very high solubility in water. This property allows the aquarist to rapidly adjust calcium concentrations to desired levels. The aquarist should be aware that Calcium Chloride does not add bicarbonate and carbonate ions to the system. Since most calcifying organisms require these ions in addition to calcium ions, the aquarist should monitor the alkalinity frequently when using Calcium Chloride and make the proper adjustments with a buffer additive. Calcium Chloride can directly reduce alkalinity by elevating the calcium ion concentration to excessively high levels and thereby initiate the precipitation of calcium carbonate from the water. This may or may not be visibly detectable, depending on the magnitude of precipitation.

Calcium Hydroxide is the proven standard for maintaining calcium concentration and alkalinity in closed marine aquaria. The calcium provided is directly used by calcifying organisms, and the hydroxide ions provided readily convert dissolved CO2 into bicarbonate and carbonate ions, which are also directly used by calcifying organisms. The net result is no ionic imbalances in the aquarium water, which can occur through the prolonged use of other calcium supplements, such as calcium chloride.

The E.S.V. Potassium Iodide Solution is a very pure form of iodide. Iodide is an important micro-nutrient for many marine plants.
