zu gering.

Abhilfe: Pulvermenge besser anpassen, siehe

„Dosierbeispiele“.

Ursache: Becken ist abgedeckt und hat zu wenig

Verdunstung.

Abhilfe: Calcium Automat 3170 sollte zusätzlich

eingesetzt werden.

Ursache: Methode nicht ausreichend für dieses

Biotop.

Abhilfe: Calcium Automat 3170 sollte zusätzlich

eingesetzt werden.

Failure: The calcium dispenser delivers too little

calcium into the tank or the calcium content is

below 400 mg/l after a longer period of operation.

Cause: The addition of calcium hydroxide in the

dispenser is too low.

Remedy: Adapt the amount of powder; cf. chapter

titled „Examples for calcium hydroxide dosing“.

Cause: The tank is covered and has too little

evaporation.

Remedy: Calcium Automat 3170 should be used

in addition.

Cause: The method is not suitable for this biotope.

Remedy: Calcium Automat 3170 should be used

in addition.

Disfonctionnements: Calcium Dispenser

n’apporte pas assez de calcium à l’aquarium,

taux de calcium de moins de 400 mg/l après une

longue période d’utilisation.

Raisons: Les dosages en hydroxyde dans le
