Description
The HI758 Marine Calcium Checker® HC is engineered to provide a straightforward, precise, and economicalmethod for determining calcium levels in saltwater aquariums and marine environments. Calcium is essential for the development of calcium carbonate skeletons in corals and reef organisms, making accurate monitoring critical for reef tank stability. Unlike conventional test kits that rely on subjective color comparison, the HI758 delivers a clear digital readout, significantly improving consistency and confidence in results.
Designed as a dedicated single-parameter instrument, the HI758 performs calcium analysis using an adaptation of the Zincon method with an LED light source at 610 nm and a silicon photocell detector. Measurements are fast and simple, requiring only four steps. To zero the instrument, 1 mL of Reagent A is added to deionized/distilled water as a blank. With its automatic shut-off (10 minutes), compact dimensions (81.5 × 61 × 37.5 mm), and lightweight build (64 g), this checker is ideal for hobbyists and marine professionals alike.
