How To Remove Calcium Buildup On Fish Tank

If you notice white salt precipitates in your system, these are signs of calcium buildup. Although calcium is not dangerous for your plants and fishes, it is an indicator for nutrient imbalance in your system.

What Causes Calcium Buildup In Fish Tanks?

pH Levels Of Above 7.5

Basic water naturally allows for calcium carbonate to precipitate as salts.

High concentrations of carbonate force more calcium ions to bind with carbonate, forming more precipitate on surfaces.

Bicarbonate Concentrations Of 120ppm and Above

High concentrations of carbonate force more calcium ions to bind with carbonate, forming more precipitate on surfaces.

Less Carbon Dioxide In the Water

Water Temperature Rising

High water temperature speeds up the reaction and binding of calcium ions to carbonates. This forms precipitates for calcium carbonates faster and causes buildup to occur.

Lower pH Of Water
