Aquaforest Component 1+ 2+ 3+

Chemical composition of Component 1+2+3+ is based on the method developed by H. Balling. The formula has been fine tuned in our lab and enriched with trace elements that are fundamental for maintaining marine aquarium organisms in good form. As a result we have composed 3 fluids that are intended for dosing in equal amounts on regular basis. Component 1+2+3+ is designed to fulfil coral demands not only in terms of Magnesium and Calcium, but also in terms of other elements which require careful and systematic dosing, but are notoriously difficult to assess. In order to maintain adequate amount of trace elements in aquarium water, both Magnesium and Calcium levels need to be within recommended range (Ca 400-440 mg/L, Mg 1280-1350 mg/L) Typical aquarium with average number of hard corals requires approximately 50ml of each component per 100 l (27 US gal) of water daily. Dosage needs to be adjusted according to the consumption of macro-nutrients, and based on critical water parameters like Calcium, Magnesium and KH. If one or two parameters are still not balanced- we recommend to continue with administering equal doses of each component, and take advantage of one of our additives (Calcium, Magnesium, KH Buffer) to restore desired level(s). Component 1+ contains: Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Co, Mn, Cu, Fe, Zn, Ni, Cr (50ml raises of 9 mg Ca in 100L/27 US gal, 50ml raises of 0,6 mg Mg in 100L/ 27 US gal) Component 2+ contains: NaHCO3, F, I (50ml raises the KH of 1,3 dKH-Alk 0,46 meg/l in 100L/ 27 US gal). Component 3+ contains: Mineral salts and K, B.
