ESV B-Ionic Nitrate Size: 16oz B-Ionic Nitrate is a concentrated source of nitrate in the form of a highly purified calcium nitrate solution. Overview of ESV Nitrate Additive Maintaining nitrate concentrations slightly higher than natural reef levels has been observed by many aquarists to be beneficial to coral health and coloration. This may be because higher levels of nitrate compensate for the lack of planktonic food organisms and particulate organic nitrogen available to corals in the wild.Biological assimilation and denitrification converts the nitrate added into carbonate alkalinity, so there is no accumulation of sodium or potassium, which are difficult to test for. Higher nitrate levels may also assist organic breakdown and prevent hydrogen sulfide in anoxic/anaerobic areas of rock and sand.When phosphate levels are already high, increasing food input can be problematic when trying to raise nitrate levels because food also imports phosphate. B-Ionic Nitrate provides a solution by raising nitrate without increasing phosphate. ESV B-Ionic Nitrate Dosing 1ml/20 gals. of aquarium water adds 1 ppm nitrate.

ESV Transition Elements Plus+ - 32oz ESV Transition Elements PLUS+ changes the nutrient dynamics of reef aquaria without the use of specialized chemical media.Transition Elements PLUS+ provides a conservative level of organic carbon, synergistically combined with trace elements to maximize heterotrophic bacterial uptake of nitrate and phosphate. B-Ionic TE Plus+ can also provide many potential benefits such as enhanced production of marine snow, and mitigation of any hydrogen sulfide release within the aquarium. Also, enhanced coral coloration, better polyp extension, and increased water clarity have been observed with the use of B-Ionic TE Plus+. This product has been formulated to prevent accumulation of the transition elements it provides

ESV B-Ionic Seawater System 50 Gallon Starter Kit ESV B-Ionic Salt Mix Overview Our B-Ionic Seawater System is a unique four-part system for mixing the purest, most consistent synthetic seawater available to the marine aquarist. This salt is designed for the serious aquarist that wants complete control over their salt mix! What Makes ESV Salt Different? It is recognized that most reagent grade salts can contain contaminants (trace metals, etc.) at levels which may inhibit the growth of some algae species from low nutrient environments (oligotrophic) such as coral reefs. We address this issue by providing ultra-low heavy metal Sodium Chloride (maximum allowable lead concentration; lower than half the maximum allowable for reagent grade sodium chloride) and USP grade Magnesium Sulfate as the dry components of the system. All other chemicals pre-dissolved in our liquid components are subject to our three phase purification process, resulting in significant lowering of contaminants, including phosphate. The many dry blends that are available on the market today may not be homogeneous, which can result in considerable chemical variations, not only from batch to batch, but also from within the same container. Furthermore, humidity contamination during storage can result in localized precipitation reactions. The B-Ionic Seawater System avoids these issues by providing the dry components of our formulation in separate containers. All other major, minor, and trace elements are pre-dissolved in a highly concentrated two component liquid system. These components can then be easily measured for any size batch of synthetic seawater.Because we provide all of the slower dissolving ingredients in our liquid components, Batches mix quickly, and can be used within 10 minutes of preparation with no adverse effects, providing the initial RO and/or DI water contains sufficient dissolved oxygen. ESV 50 Gallon Starter Mix Specifications Each 50 Gallon starter Kit comes with 50 Gallons of salt mix Measuring Cups Recommended mixing values at 34ppt: Calcium: 450ppm Alkalinity: (3.25meq/L - 9.1dKH) Magnesium: 1400ppm See our documents tab for detailed instructions on mixing your ESV salt.
