Through the chemical process known as "ion-pairing" magnesium ion concentration influences the saturation point for calcium carbonate in solution. In general the further the magnesium concentration drops from natural seawater levels (1350 ppm) the more difficult it becomes to maintain adequate levels of both calcium and alkalinity.
Each ESV B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System has two components - Alkalinity and Calcium. When used in equal parts, easily maintain calcium and alkalinity levels with no mixing of powders, disruption of ionic balace or addition of organic chemicals.
