Red Sea Reef Foundation B – 1 Liter Red Sea Foundation Elements defines and maintains the correctly balanced levels of Calcium, Alkalinity and Magnesium.A successful coral reef aquarium is dependent upon maintaining the appropriate water parameters that, in turn, provide the stable environment required by the corals.Although all the elements found in natural seawater have an important role in providing the optimal water parameters, a few of them have a more significant role in the overall stability. These elements are the foundation of the reef environment and they include the three major elements: calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and bicarbonates (HCO3).These three reef foundation elements have a major effect on the water chemistry (pH stability, alkalinity and seawater ionic strength) and on many of the coral's biological processes (skeleton formation, ions exchange, and photosynthesis).Red Sea's Foundation Elements provides a complete solution for maintaining and replenishing the foundation building blocks of the reef aquarium by providing complete and balanced supplements, formulated to work together for long term use and without changing the ionic balance of the water.Optimal levels of the Reef Foundation ElementsUnlike the natural reef environment, where there is an immense reservoir of the foundation elements, the reef aquarium is an artificial environment that is constantly affected by chemical changes. Therefore, the reef foundation elements must be monitored and replenished constantly. Research has also shown that the optimal levels of these elements should be maintained according to the variety and maturity of the specific coral population. In order to accurately select the optimal level for your reef aquarium system, it is best to use the values for the most demanding coral species in your marine aquarium.Coral GrowthCorals need to invest energy in transporting the foundation and other elements necessary for skeletogenisis from the surrounding water through their soft tissue.Elevated levels of reef foundation elements create a more positive ionic pressure enabling passive diffusion of the elements through the soft tissue. This makes the process much more efficient (less energy required per gram of skeleton). Therefore, balanced elevated levels of foundation elements will result in accelerated coral growth rates.In mature systems where accelerated growth is not desired or when aiming to enhance coral coloration by reducing the levels of algae nutrients, lower balanced levels of the reef foundation elements should be maintained.SkeletogenesisSkeletogenesis is the process by which special cells within the corals' soft tissue combine the foundation elements together with strontium and barium from the surrounding water to form the building blocks of coral skeletons. Corals build approximately 90% of their skeleton by combining calcium and carbonate ions from the water to form aragonite (CaCO3).The rest of the skeleton is made up from magnesite (MgCO3), strontianite (SrCO3), calcite (a more brittle crystal structure of CaCO3), fluorite (CaF2) and other minor and trace minerals. In unbalanced conditions such as low levels of Mg and/or Sr the skeleton will develop with a higher proportion of calcite making it more brittle and more susceptible to damage.The foundation elements complement each other in the formation of coral skeleton. If they are not available in the correct ratios, one of them will quickly become the limiting factor of healthy coral growth. Features of Red Sea Alkalinity Reef Foundation B Carbonate & buffer complex for balanced formation of Coral SkeletonCalcium, magnesium, strontium and carbonate are the basic foundation elements of coral skeletons. All of these elements need to be available in balanced proportions for coral health and growth. Dosing Red Sea Reef Foundation B (Alkalinity) 1ml will raise the Alkalinity of 100 liters (25gal) by 0.036 meq/l (0.1dKH)

Red Sea Trace Colors A - 500ml Red Sea's research has identified 31 minor and trace elements that in addition to the foundation elements are present in the skeleton and soft tissue of all corals. The Red Sea Coral Coloration Program's supplements family divides these elements into four groups : Trace - Colors A, B, C and D that are related by the biological functions they perform. They are also associated with the production of specific color pigments in the soft tissue of stony corals. These pigments can only be produced if the specific elements required for the bio-chemical process are available in the correct concentration.All 31 elements are required by all stony corals irrespective of the actual color the coral displays. Features of Red Sea Trace Colors A Iodine, Bromine and Fluorine supplement that promotes the Pink colors in corals. IODINE+ Supplement is part of the complete range of complementary major, minor and trace element complexes which together provide the needs of corals.IODINE+ Supplement contains iodine and other halogens that are associated with many biological processes, one of them being the production of the pink pigments in the soft tissue of corals. The halogens act both as antioxidants and oxidative agents within the soft tissue and mucus layer of corals, reducing the possibility of coral bleaching.In active reef systems, these elements are depleted quickly due to their high oxidative abilities and reactivity with organic materials. Iodine and bromine are related to the pink chromo-protein (pocciloporin). Dosing Red Sea Trace Colors A 1ml will raise the iodine level of 100 liters (25 gal) by 0.03ppm

Red Sea Reef Foundation ABC Starter Pack 3x250ml Red Sea Foundation Elements defines and maintains the correctly balanced levels of Calcium, Alkalinity and Magnesium.A successful coral reef aquarium is dependent upon maintaining the appropriate water parameters that, in turn, provide the stable environment required by the corals.Although all the elements found in natural seawater have an important role in providing the optimal water parameters, a few of them have a more significant role in the overall stability. These elements are the foundation of the reef environment and they include the three major elements: calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and bicarbonates (HCO3).These three reef foundation elements have a major effect on the water chemistry (pH stability, alkalinity and seawater ionic strength) and on many of the coral's biological processes (skeleton formation, ions exchange, and photosynthesis).Red Sea's Foundation Elements provides a complete solution for maintaining and replenishing the foundation building blocks of the reef aquarium by providing complete and balanced supplements, formulated to work together for long term use and without changing the ionic balance of the water.Optimal levels of the Reef Foundation ElementsUnlike the natural reef environment, where there is an immense reservoir of the foundation elements, the reef aquarium is an artificial environment that is constantly affected by chemical changes. Therefore, the reef foundation elements must be monitored and replenished constantly. Research has also shown that the optimal levels of these elements should be maintained according to the variety and maturity of the specific coral population. In order to accurately select the optimal level for your reef aquarium system, it is best to use the values for the most demanding coral species in your marine aquarium.Coral GrowthCorals need to invest energy in transporting the foundation and other elements necessary for skeletogenisis from the surrounding water through their soft tissue.Elevated levels of reef foundation elements create a more positive ionic pressure enabling passive diffusion of the elements through the soft tissue. This makes the process much more efficient (less energy required per gram of skeleton). Therefore, balanced elevated levels of foundation elements will result in accelerated coral growth rates.In mature systems where accelerated growth is not desired or when aiming to enhance coral coloration by reducing the levels of algae nutrients, lower balanced levels of the reef foundation elements should be maintained.SkeletogenesisSkeletogenesis is the process by which special cells within the corals' soft tissue combine the foundation elements together with strontium and barium from the surrounding water to form the building blocks of coral skeletons. Corals build approximately 90% of their skeleton by combining calcium and carbonate ions from the water to form aragonite (CaCO3).The rest of the skeleton is made up from magnesite (MgCO3), strontianite (SrCO3), calcite (a more brittle crystal structure of CaCO3), fluorite (CaF2) and other minor and trace minerals. In unbalanced conditions such as low levels of Mg and/or Sr the skeleton will develop with a higher proportion of calcite making it more brittle and more susceptible to damage.The foundation elements complement each other in the formation of coral skeleton. If they are not available in the correct ratios, one of them will quickly become the limiting factor of healthy coral growth. Features of Red Sea Reef Foundation ABC Starter Pack Foundation supplements complete starter packRed Sea's Foundation Supplements Complete Pack contains all of the essential foundation elements required in order for corals to thrive within the reef aquarium.Unlike the natural reef where there is an immense reservoir of foundation elements, in an aquarium these elements are constantly depleted due to coral growth and other biological activities. Therefore, calcium, carbonates (alkalinity) and magnesium require regular testing and supplementing. For best results, dose according to a measured uptake of Calcium KH/Alkalinity and Magnesium using Red Sea's FoundationTM Pro multi test kit. The FoundationTM Supplements Complete Pack is part of Red Sea's complete Reef Care Program, which provides all of the supplements, test kits and coral foods required to maintain a successful and healthy coral reef aquarium.Reef Care Recipes provides an easy to follow guide on how the Foundation supplements are used on different types of reef aquariums. Dosing Red Sea Reef Foundation ABC Starter Pack 1ml will raise the Ca level of 100 liters (25 gal) by 2ppm.1ml will raise the Alkalinity of 100 liters (25gal) by 0.036 meq/l (0.1dKH)1ml will raise the Mg level of 100 liters (25gal) by 1ppm.

Red Sea Complete Reef Care Package - Large Complete Reef Care is a simple but comprehensive 4-part supplement program that ensures optimal coral growth and coloration, that revolves around a single weekly measurement of Calcium, which determines the dosages of all 4 parts. A successful coral reef aquarium is dependent upon maintaining the appropriate water parameters that provide the stable environment required by the corals. This is achieved by starting with balanced seawater such as using Red Sea or Coral Pro Salt and using complete and balanced supplements, that are formulated to work together for long term use, without changing the ionic balance of the water. Red Sea's 4-Part Complete Reef Care is the result of years of research into the physiological demands of SPS, LPS & Soft Corals in the reef aquarium and practical experience with the original 7-Part Reef Care Program on tens of thousands of diverse reef tanks worldwide. This research has shown that there are 36 Major, Minor and Trace elements that are regularly depleted from the aquarium water and have an active role in coral growth and coloration, as well as other biological activities of the reef environment. In reef systems without refugiums, coral growth is the most dominant biological process that affects the water chemistry, and that the 36 elements, including the Alkalinity components, are used up in a relatively fixed ratio. Since Calcium is the key indicator to coral growth, all the elements can be supplemented according to a measured uptake of calcium. The Complete Reef Care divides the 36 Major, Minor and Trace elements into four parts to ensure their stability and bioavailability. The Red Sea Complete Reef Care Package is as Simple as 4 Bottles and One Test Per Week! 36 Major, Minor, and Trace Elements Pairs Seamlessly with ReefDose 4 Dosing Pump Three Sizes Available to Match Your Tank Size The Complete Reef Care Package from Red Sea is ReefDose 4 Ready!
