Our Coral Essentials, Coral Power Potassium is a concentrated solution of Potassium Chloride, 150,000ppm for marine aquariums. It is essential for healthy growth of both soft and hard coral, enhanced red and pink colouration in corals, as well as promoting coral exoskeleton growth. Potassium is one of the fundamental elements for marine tanks. The concentration should be between 380 and 450 mg/l (ppm). Potassium is used in both coral skeleton formation and cellular processes. It is also used by zooxanthellae as it is directly involved in the biosynthesis of glucose through photosynthesis. To ensure healthy coral maintain a dosing plan as detailed below. Variances above and below the recommended dosing can be made depending on your own tank conditions and density of coral present.
Coral Power Reef KI3
Our Coral Essentials, Coral Power Reef KI3 is a concentrated blend of Potassium Iodide and Iodine (0.5%) for marine aquariums. It is essential for healthy growth of both soft and hard coral, enhanced blue and violet colouration in corals, as well as the promotion of healthy macroalgae growth. Iodine is utilized by corals for the synthesis of pigments, which allow them to adapt to varying light conditions and provide their tissue with protection from UV radiation. To ensure healthy coral, invertebrates and macroalgae, maintain a dosing plan as detailed below. Variances above and below the recommended dosing can be made depending on your own tank conditions and density of coral present.
Reef KI3 can also be used as a coral dipping solution, refer below.
Available in 50ml.
Coral Power Selenium
"Selenium seems to have a role in protecting corals from oxygen damage, while Cobalt is present in some critical vitamins and may be an important cofactor for stimulating their production"- Reef Builders. To better get an idea of what your aquariums selenium levels are is by doing an ICP test.
Available in 50ml.
Coral Power Strontium
Coral Essentials, Coral Power Strontium is a concentrated solution of strontium (50,000 ppm). Strontium in natural sea water is in the order of 8-10ppm. Keeping strontium at this level is advisable and not outside the range of 5-15ppm. Anecdotal evidence has shown that strontium at below 5ppm in the marine aquarium is detrimental to coral growth. For the advanced aquarist strontium levels in marine tanks should be checked regularly to determine the take up in your system. Calculate strontium usage by testing regularly, then simply calculate dosing requirements to suit the depletion rate. Then continue a check of the strontium levels every week or two.
Available in 100ml.
Coral Power Zinc
"Zinc is critical in the transmission of genetic information as well as protein production. There is also some anecdotal reports that its supplementation can dramatically increase the growth rate in some stony corals."- Reef Builders. Zinc can also be extremely dangerous to the inhabitants of your reef tank, so always dose less than necessary and only after receiving the details of your ICP analysis.
Available in 50ml.
