Abstract
The contention of Breder and Howley (1931), and Breder and Smith (1932) that liming may lead to an increase in calcium in aquarium water is correct. In January, 1932, when the salinity of the Plymouth tank water was 38.0‰ the calcium content was about 0.62 g. per litre compared with about 0.39 g. found in the sea-water off Plymouth by the permanganate method. Thus compared with the normal calcium content of water of 38‰ salinity a 46% excess was present. One liming did not increase the calcium content appreciably, which suggests that the water is at the present time (Jan., 1932) saturated with respect to calcium. Other indirect evidence lends some support to this statement.
