Hydroshock 3-Part Complete System

CALCIUM | ALKALINITY | MAGNESIUM

The Hydroshock 3-Part Complete System is a precision-balanced dosing trio designed to provide reef aquariums with stable water chemistry, consistent growth, and vibrant coloration. Formulated to work together in a 1:1:1 ratio, Hydroshock maintains the proper balance of major and minor ions while preventing long-term imbalances.

  • Hydroshock Calcium (Part 1) | Calcium • Strontium • Trace Elements
    Supplies concentrated calcium enriched with strontium, potassium, and trace metals (iron, manganese, zinc, vanadium). Promotes strong skeletal growth while supporting natural coloration and trace element balance.
  • Hydroshock Alkalinity (Part 2) | Carbonates • Boron • pH Stability
    Provides 8,400 dKH total alkalinity, replenishing carbonate consumed by coral growth. Boron buffering stabilizes pH and reduces daily swings, protecting corals from stress and enhancing growth.
  • Hydroshock Magnesium (Part 3) | Magnesium • Potassium • Iodine
    Maintains ionic balance by replenishing magnesium at the correct ratio to calcium and alkalinity. Includes potassium and iodide for invertebrate molting and soft-tissue health, plus balanced sulfates to preserve the natural Na:Cl:S ratio.

Together, these three parts form a complete reef foundation system, giving your aquarium the stability corals demand to thrive.

Balanced 3-part dosing system (Ca : Alk : Mg)
Supports skeletal growth, coral coloration, and invertebrate health
Prevents ionic drift and maintains natural seawater ratios

Instructions

  • Begin dosing at 1 mL per 100 L daily of each part (Ca, Alk, Mg) in equal amounts.
  • Test regularly for alkalinity (dKH), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg).
  • Adjust all three parts slowly and equally to maintain stability.
  • If a parameter drifts significantly, temporarily adjust that part alone before resuming equal dosing.
  • Dose into high-flow areas. For larger alkalinity corrections (>0.5 dKH/day), split into smaller doses or drip overnight to prevent pH spikes.

Enter tank volume, choose a parameter, set current and target, and we’ll show compatible Reef Charge products with exact mL. Works with liters or US gallons.
Enter display volume minus rock/sand displacement if known.
Units adjust automatically (e.g., Alkalinity in dKH, others in ppm).
Enter volume, pick a parameter, then set current and target to see dosing options.
Heads up: These are estimates. Verify with reliable test kits and adjust slowly for livestock safety.
