I already tried that I looked and it doesn’t say anywhere. It only says alkalinity how much it raises like 1 ML raises. 0.01. I just wanna know how much does it raise calcium using 1 ML

I believe it depends on your water volume you’re dosing AFR into.
55 gallon SPS and LPS reef my alkalinity 9 my calcium 460 I just wanna know how much does calcium raise? using 1 ml of all four reef I looked everywhere and I can’t find nothing.

I don’t know but I wouldn’t be stressing that much over calcium, especially using afr

Water volume matters and must be taken into consideration

Per this thread https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/w...c-marin-all-for-reef-afr.882805/#post-9751382

The concentrations for All-For-Reef solutions, no matter whether bought as solution or self-prepared from All-For-Reef Powder, are 43000 ppm calcium, Ca, 6000 dKH per liter alkalinity (as alkalinity-precursors), 1900 ppm magnesium, Mg, 780 ppm strontium, Sr and 34 ppm iodine, I.

1ml of All for Reef contains 43ppm of calcium (43000ppm/1000ml=43ppm)

1ml dosed to your 55 gallon (208.19 liter) of water volume = 0.2ppm calcium (43ppm/208.19 liters=0.2ppm dosed)

just need to know how much calcium is going into the tank just started this product

Nobody can answer the question because nobody knows how much calcium your tank consumes. Its a piece of string question...

Test, add your dose for x days then test again surely?

That calculation is correct and appropriate, except the statement that 1 mL contains 43 ppm. It is still 43000 ppm, and contains 43 mg of calcium. :)

According to Tropic Marines website

500ml/g of AFR contains 20,000mg (20g)of calcium.

PPM = (solute/solution)*1000000
20g/500g *1000000 =40,000ppm


40,000ppm/500ml = 80ppm per a ml


80ppm/208.19L = .38ppm


@Randy Holmes-Farley did I math that right?

20g/500g *1000000 =40,000ppm


40,000ppm/500ml = 80ppm per a ml One ml of the solution will still be 40,000ppm calcium



80ppm/208.19L = .38ppm

500mlof AFR contains 20,000mg (20g)of calcium.

So 1 ml of AFR will contain 20,000/500 = 40 mg of calcium

40mg/209.19L ≈ .19 ppm calcium added

Yes and no. It goes off the rails in mentioning the "ppm per a mL" unit, which is not a sensible unit of measure.

AFR contains the same ppm of calcium regardless of volume. Convert ppm to mg/L, and then one can redo the math.

Ok so

20,000mg/500ml =40 mg/mL
So 1ml will have 40mg of calcium

40mg/209,190ml =0.000191 mg/mL * 1000 =.191mg/l

So essentially 1ml of AFR will raise levels by .2mg/l

is this also equivalent to ppm or no?

Just dose it and test? Test before… test after.

You’re worried about 1ml? It would probably not be noticeable in your size of system, if you’re worried about something.
