Safe for all varieties of corals and their allies, including colonial and solitary polyps. Triple-acting formulation provides short- and long-term benefits to dipped corals. Formulated to prepare corals for addition to a pre-existing aquarium, as well as to benefit corals showing signs of tissue damage or degradation. Gently oxidizes areas of damaged coral tissue to help halt, or prevent onset…
Used in conjunction with MICROBACTER7 and REEF BIOFUEL or KATALYST, enables natural phosphorus uptake to take place in systems with inadequate nitrogen content, lowering phosphate concentration without the use of chemical filtration media and without resorting to polluting the system with organic material to raise the nitrogen content. Recommended for use by advanced reef aquarists maintaining ultra-low nutrient content systems,…
Replaces vodka method of microbial activity-enhancement with a completely safe and biologically-sound, non-flammable alternative to using vodka or ethanol. Indirectly benefits corals and other suspension-feeding invertebrates by encouraging reproduction of bacterioplankton (an important food source for suspension-feeding invertebrates). Encourages polyp-expansion in all corals. May be used to help expedite biological filtration in new set-ups.
Complete source of the elements and molecules that are directly used by corals, clams, and other reef-building invertebrates and organisms to create skeletal material and grow. Provides calcium (140,000 ppm), strontium, magnesium, and potassium in approximately the same ratios* in which they occur in aragonite. Very strong source of carbonates (derived from aragonite). Increases alkalinity to help stabilize pH. Stronger…
Complex of free-form amino acids in the same ratios found within tissues of sponges. Utilizes natural attractants and marine-derived proteins to improve feeding response and increase protein percentage of fish foods, respectively. increase protein percentage of fish foods, respectively. Beneficial to all fishes whose diets are in large part composed of sponges, including angelfishes, butterflyfishes, Moorish Idols, and their respective…
Formulated specifically for temperate (“cold water”) marine aquaria. Combines multiple non-sugar, non-alcohol organic carbon sources shown to significantly stimulate cell respiration for enhanced nutrient uptake by microbes present in system, resulting in natural depletion of nitrate and phosphate. Completely safe and biologically-sound, non-flammable alternative to using vodka or ethanol.Not aldehyde-based. Indirectly benefits corals and other suspension-feeding invertebrates by encouragingreproduction of bacterioplankton…
