Designed for reef aquariums, it maintains magnesium and includes Reef Mineral Salt (NaCl-free salt) that preserves the water's ionic balance. The 2 L size suits medium to large tanks dosing daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComposition and how it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Aquaforest, Component C contains magnesium chloride at 3,300 ppm magnesium, NaCl-free Reef Mineral Salt, plus potassium and boron. It is dosed in equal parts with Component A (calcium) and Component B (KH alkalinity). The Reef Mineral Salt binds with the sodium chloride generated by dosing Components A and B, keeping salinity and ionic balance close to natural conditions — the true principle of the Balling method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended dosing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tank with an average population of hard corals consumes about 25 ml of each component per 100 L per day. 25 ml of Component C per 100 L raises magnesium by about 0.38 ppm. Test calcium, KH and magnesium before starting, then again 24 h later, to establish consumption. Keep Ca 380-460 ppm and Mg 1180-1460 ppm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComponent C should be dosed in the same proportion as Components A and B even if magnesium looks stable: it's the Reef Mineral Salt it delivers that balances the whole system. To adjust magnesium only, use Mg Plus instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy shop at ReefSolution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComponent C is dosed with its two Balling-system partners:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/aquaforest-component-a-2000ml\"\u003eComponent A 2000ml\u003c\/a\u003e — the calcium and trace element solution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/aquaforest-component-b-2000ml\"\u003eComponent B 2000ml\u003c\/a\u003e — the KH alkalinity solution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/aquaforest-test-pro-pack-ca-kh-mg\"\u003eTestPro Pack Ca-KH-Mg\u003c\/a\u003e — the three-test set to track magnesium, calcium and KH.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecure shipping across Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between Component C and Component 3+?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are the same product: Component C is the name of the magnesium and Reef Mineral Salt solution in Aquaforest's three-part Balling system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy dose Component C even if my magnesium is stable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it delivers the Reef Mineral Salt that balances the ions generated by Components A and B.
