Reef
Plus™ is a full spectrum reef supplement containing
trace elements, vitamins, and amino acids demonstrated to have
a positive impact on the growth of corals and other desirable
reef creatures. Reef Plus™ is formulated to provide nutrients
available from natural tropical reef waters. Contains vitamin
B12, vitamin C, thiamine, inositol, choline, iodide, and other
essential constituents at pH 8.3. Reef Plus™ is nitrate/phosphate
free..
Sizes: 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 2L, 4 L, 20 L

Reef
Trace™ supplies a broad range of trace elements
demonstrated to be necessary for proper reef health and growth.
Trace elements are normally depleted by utilization, oxidation
and precipitation. The latter two processes occur more rapidly
than with other micronutrients. This makes it important to restore
trace elements on a regular basis. Reef Trace™ may be
used alone or in conjunction with Reef Plus™. Best results
are obtained when both are used. Reef Trace™ is nitrate/phosphate
free.

Calcium™ is a concentrated (50,000 mg/L) bioavailable
polygluconate complexed calcium intended to maintain calcium in
the reef aquarium without altering pH.
Polygluconate
complexation confers several benefits: it increases the bioavailability
of the calcium, it provides a rich source of metabolic energy
to help maintain peak coral growth, and it prevents calcium precipitation/alkalinity
depletion. Polygluconate contains no nitrogen or phosphorous,
thus it is biologically impossible for it to lead to algae growth
in a properly maintained reef system.
Reef Calcium™ may be used alone to maintain calcium but
will provide enhanced levels of coral growth when used in conjunction
with an ionic calcium supplement (Reef Complete™, Reef Advantage
Calcium™).
Reef Calcium™ is intended to maintain calcium levels; if
calcium becomes seriously depleted one should either perform a
water change or use an ionic calcium supplement to restore the
depleted level of calcium.
Sizes:
100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 2L, 4 L, 20 L |
Reef
Advantage Calcium™ is a non-caustic (pH 8.3–8.6)
optimized blend of ionic calcium designed to restore and maintain
calcium to levels found in natural seawater. Calcium and carbonates
are essential to all coral growth. If either becomes deficient,
coral growth will cease, followed by a rapid decline in coral
health. To prevent this you must provide calcium (Reef Advantage
Calcium™) and carbonates (Reef Builder™ or Reef Carbonate™).
Reef Advantage Calcium™ also includes magnesium and strontium
in amounts proportionate to typical utilization ratios (100:5:0.1,
Ca:Mg:Sr). This allows one to maintain these two important elements
while maintaining calcium.
Unlike limewater (kalkwasser), Reef Advantage Calcium™ does
not have a caustic pH and will not deplete magnesium. Used as
directed, it will not deplete alkalinity.
Sizes:
250 g, 500 g, 1kg, 4 kg, 20 kg

Reef
Complete™ is a concentrated (160,000 mg/L) optimized
blend of ionic calcium designed to restore and maintain calcium
to levels found in natural seawater without affecting pH. Calcium
and carbonates are essential to all coral growth. If either becomes
deficient, coral growth will cease, followed by a rapid decline
in coral health. To prevent this you must provide calcium (Reef
Complete™) and carbonates (Reef Builder™ or Reef Carbonate™)
Reef
Complete™ also includes magnesium and strontium in amounts
proportionate to typical utilization ratios (100:5:0.1, Ca:Mg:Sr).
This allows one to maintain these two important elements while
maintaining calcium.

Reef
Kalkwasser™ is a pure calcium hydroxide with unsurpassed
purity and solubility characteristics. Calcium hydroxide is used
to prepare limewater (kalkwasser) solutions that will maintain
calcium concentrations at natural seawater levels. Kalkwasser
solutions maintain calcium directly and carbonate alkalinity indirectly.
However, its capacity to perform these functions is dependent
on evaporation rate and CO2 concentration. If the these two factors
are insufficient you can provide additional calcium with Reef
Advantage Calcium™, Reef Complete™, or Reef Calcium™,
and carbonate alkalinity with Reef Builder™ or Reef Carbonate™
(do not mix these directly with a kalkwasser solution).
While
Reef Kalkwasser is a high purity and economical limewater mix,
the beginner, or someone with not as much time to devote to their
system, my prefer to use other less involved methods for maintaing
proper ionic concentration levels.
Sizes:
250 g, 500 g, 1 kg, 2 kg, 12 kg |
Reef
Buffer™ is intended primarily for use in a reef
system where the maintenance of a pH of 8.3 is often difficult.
When used as directed Reef Buffer™ will raise the pH of
your reef system to 8.3 without fear of accidentally overshooting
the pH to a dangerous level. Reef Buffer™ will also raise
carbonate alkalinity. Reef Buffer™ is a blended product
and is not just sodium carbonate. Reef Builder™ should be
used to raise alkalinity when pH is not a problem. Use Seachem’s
MultiTest: Marine pH & Alkalinity™ to check pH and total
alkalinity.
Sizes: 50 g,250 g, 500g, 1 kg, 2 kg, 4 kg, 20 kg |
Reef
Builder ™ raises carbonate alkalinity without immediately
impacting on pH. With long term use there will be a tendency to
stabilize at pH 8.3. Carbonates and calcium are essential to all
coral growth. If either becomes deficient, coral growth will cease,
followed by a rapid decline in coral health. Used as directed,
Reef Builder™ will not deplete calcium, magnesium, or strontium
which usually tend to precipitate with increasing alkalinity.
Reef Builder™ and Reef Buffer™ may be used together.
Use Reef Builder™ to raise carbonate alkalinity without
affecting pH. Use Reef Buffer™ to raise carbonate alkalinity
and pH. 500 g treats 32,000 L (8,000 gallons).
Sizes:
250 g, 500g, 1 kg, 2 kg, 4 kg, 20 kg |
Reef
Iodide™ is a concentrated (8,000 mg/L) stabilized
potassium iodide source for reef aquaria that will restore and
maintain iodide levels to those found in natural sea water. It
is formulated to provide a safe source of iodide that will not
convert to toxic free iodine under storage or reef conditions.
Iodine is as toxic as chlorine and should never be used in a reef
system. However, iodide is as safe as chloride.
Sizes: 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 2L, 4 L, 20 L |
Reef Carbonate™ is a concentrated (4,000
meq/L) optimized blend of carbonate and bicarbonate salts designed
to restore and maintain alkalinity in the reef aquarium. Calcium
and carbonates are essential to all coral growth. If either becomes
deficient, coral growth will cease, followed by a rapid decline
in coral health. To prevent this you must provide carbonates (Reef
Carbonate™) and calcium (Reef Advantage Calcium™ or
Reef Complete™).
Used as directed, Reef Carbonate™ will not deplete calcium,
magnesium, or strontium which usually tend to precipitate with
increasing alkalinity. Reef alkalinity should be maintained at
3–5 meq/L (8–14 dKH). Alkalinity should not be allowed
to fall below 2 meq/L.
Sizes:
100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 2L, 4 L, 20 L |
Reef
Strontium™ is intended to restore and maintain
strontium to levels found in natural seawater without affecting
pH. Strontium is utilized in the same manner as calcium and holds
a similar importance in maintaining a vigorous level of growth.
Reef
Strontium™ contains 10,000 mg/L of available strontium as
a gluconate complex. Gluconate complexation confers several benefits:
it increases the bioavailability of the strontium, it provides
a rich source of metabolic energy to help maintain peak coral
growth, and it inhibits strontium precipitation/alkalinity depletion.
Gluconate contains no nitrogen or phosphorous, thus it is biologically
impossible for it to lead to algae growth in a properly maintained
reef system.
Sizes: 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 2 L, 4 L, 20 L |
Reef Advantage Strontium™ restores and
maintains strontium to levels found in natural sea water. Strontium
is utilized by corals in the same manner as calcium and holds
a similar importance in maintaining a vigorous level of growth.
It is most useful in densely populated aquariums requiring a continuous
supply of strontium. Reef Advantage Strontium™ is a highly
concentrated (30,000 ppm), ionically balanced strontium supplement
that can be added directly to the tank (no predissolving required).
600 g treats 20,000 L (5,000 gallons).
Sizes:
300 g, 600 g, 1 kg, 2 kg, 4 kg, 20 kg |
Reef
Advantage Magnesium™ is a concentrated (80,000
ppm) optimized blend of magnesium, chloride, and sulfate salts
designed to restore depleted levels of magnesium with minimal
impact to the ionic ratios found in natural sea water. Reef Advantage
Magnesium™ contains no ammonia! This is a common contaminant
in every liquid magnesium supplement on the market.
Severely depleted levels of magnesium (below 800 mg/L) can cause
depressed pH levels and an inability to maintain proper calcium
levels. Magnesium depletion is commonly associated with the use
of kalkwasser.
Sizes: 300 g, 600 g, 1 kg, 2 kg, 4 kg, 20 kg |
Reef Dip™ contains elemental iodine complexed
to a protective slime coat for safely and gently disinfecting
corals. It is effective against bacteria, fungus, and protozoans.
It may be used prophylactically (without evidence of disease)
or to remedy diseased specimens. It is safe to use with both stony
and soft corals. It is also safe for anemones and polyps.
Sizes:
100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 2L, 4 L, 20 L |
