Another Company's product
There are a lot of aquarium products on the market, and while most of them will work perfectly fine together in the aquarium, some will not. We can't 100% guarantee any product that's not our own, but here's a few quick rules:
- Avoid using products that overlap in function. Either one works and so it's the one you should be using, both work and so it's a waste to use them both, or neither work and you should be looking for a third, better product. In the case of Reef Calcium™, using multiple calcium supplements could result in a calcium level that is too high.
- Research the products you use carefully. Typically, if a product or medication is volatile enough to react with a calcium supplement, the company will mention it on the label or website, or you can call in to check.
- When in doubt, wait a day. While there should not be any interaction between Reef Calcium™ and another product, leaving 24 hours in between the doses will avoid possible fish stress from rapidly changing water parameters.
Seachem® Products
It's safe to use Reef Calcium™ alongside any of the other Seachem® products that are recommended for reef systems. That said, suddenly and dramatically increasing the calcium level is not recommended, as this can stress the fish and corals. Combining calcium supplements, if not done with appropriate care, can result in a sudden rise in calcium levels.
Here's some Seachem® products that are calcium supplements
| Fusion 1™ | Reef Advantage Calcium™ | Reef Complete® |
| Reef Kalkwasser™ | Reef Reactor md™ | Reef Reactor lg™ |
As previously mentioned, it is perfectly fine to use these products simultaneously, just be sure not to increase the calcium too much.
