We have added our Coral Power Trace C elements as well as Boron and Bromide into this mix using our proven Coral Essentials Method dosing regiment.  When using Carbonate + Trace there is no need to add additional trace elements.You have two options for dosing:You can follow our simple recipe and add the following amounts each day:Soft Coral / LPS System - 3ml per 100L of tank volume per dayMixed Reef System - 6ml per 100L of tank volume per daySPS Dominant System - 12ml per 100L of tank volume per dayOr secondly, for optimum results the alkalinity (KH) levels in marine tanks need to be checked regularly to determine the take up in your system. Simply calculate dosing requirements to suit the depletion rate using our easy to use dosing calculator below. After you have determined this, a regular check of the alkalinity levels should be made. Your tank will change over time as coral grows, new pieces are added as well as invertebrates that also take up carbonate. We have found ideal KH levels to be at about 8-9 dKH for most aquariums. Levels of 8.5 – 9.0 dKH are desirable if you want to maintain high levels of growth in a SPS and hard coral dominant system.Use our simple Coral Essentials Dosing Calculator below to work out how much Carbonate + Trace you need based on your usage.

Product Description Coral Essentials Magnesium Up is a concentrated powdered source of two different  magnesium powders. Coral take up magnesium into their calcium carbonate skeletons. It is important to maintain adequate magnesium levels as this is essential in maintaining correct calcium and alkalinity levels. Poor magnesium levels usually result in the need for addition of much higher levels of calcium and carbonate than would normally be required. It serves to prevent the excessive precipitation of calcium carbonate from aquarium water. The magnesium levels in marine tanks need to be checked regularly to determine the take up in your system. Magnesium usage can be calculated by testing at regular intervals to see how much the level drops.  Then it is simple to calculate dosing requirements to suit the depletion rate. After you have determined this, a regular check of the magnesium levels should be made. Your tank will change over time as coral grows, new pieces are added as well as most other aquarium inhabitants also take up magnesium. We have found ideal magnesium levels to be at about 1350-1400ppm for most aquariums.   Simply follow the directions on the bucket and then add your your potassium to this magnesium mixture.   Available in 1.2kg bucket.

Product Description Coral Essentials, Coral Power Nitrate Up is a concentrated, inorganic nitrogen source (50,000 ppm).  In bacteria driven systems it provides an essential nutrient source to assist in biologically balancing marine aquarium systems.  Increasing the available nitrate allows the bacteria present to naturally bring down phosphate levels while providing a food source for your corals. In ULNS (Ultra Low Nutrient Systems) aquariums corals can become pale and unhealthy if they are starved of available nitrate.  Coral Essentials recommends using Coral Power Nitrate Up when your system is too efficient at removing nitrate.  Coral will be more vibrant and colourful when nitrate and phosphate are maintained at correct levels. Coral Essentials recommends running your aquarium at a nitrate level between 1ppm and 5ppm. Available in 100ml.

Product Description Coral Essentials Calcium build, enhanced skeleton formation in coral, and is to be used in conjunction with Part B and Part C. Coral Essentials Part A Calcium... Concentrated goodness for your tank Coral Essentials, Part A Calcium is a concentrated source of liquid calcium, 200,000 ppm (mg/L). Calcium is an essential component in the formation of calcium carbonate skeletons, i.e. coral growth. The calcium levels in marine tanks need to be checked regularly to determine the take up in your system. How much calcium is being used can be calculated by testing at regular intervals to see how much the calcium level drops during the set interval. Then it is simple to calculate dosing requirements to suit the depletion rate. After you have determined this, a regular check of the calcium levels should be made. Your tank will change over time as coral grows, new pieces are added as well as invertebrates that also take up calcium. We have found ideal calcium levels to be at about 430-470ppm for most aquariums. Levels of 470+ ppm are desirable if you want to maintain high levels of growth in a SPS and hard coral dominant system.

Product Description Coral Essentials, Coral Power Phosphate Up is a balanced, inorganic phosphorous source (1,000 ppm).  It has been specifically formulated to assist in the uptake of nitrate in aquarium systems.  The phosphate based nutrient source, along with naturally occurring bacteria, provide the right environment for nitrification to ensure the uptake of excess dissolved organics. In ULNS (Ultra Low Nutrient Systems) aquariums corals can have poor colouration and unhealthy if they are starved of available phosphate. Coral Essentials recommends using Coral Power Phosphate Up when you can not achieve the levels of phosphate to maintain a balanced carbon/nitrate/phosphate  system.  Coral will be more vibrant and colourful when nitrate and phosphate are maintained at correct levels. Coral Essentials recommends running your aquarium at a phosphate level between 0.01ppm and 0.05ppm.Available in 100ml.

Product Description Our Coral Essentials, Coral Power Amino is a concentrated blend of essential amino acids for marine aquariums. It is essential for enzyme production, tissue growth and skeleton formation. Corals also require amino acids to build protein for tissue growth and also for synthesis of the organic matrix which regulates and accelerates calcium carbonate deposition in the skeleton otherwise known as calcification (Allemand et al. 2004). This organic matrix is a framework of proteins and other compounds that are essential to bio-mineralisation. To ensure growth enhancement of SPS corals, 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. Increased levels of Amino Acids can be readily utilised by coral. We do not recommend dosing at high levels if there are elevated phosphate and nitrate levels in your aquarium. The application of high doses of Coral Power Amino to aquariums with elevated phosphate and nitrate levels can result in algae outbreaks.​Please note Coral Essentials – Coral Power Amino should be kept in a cool dark place and preferably refrigerated after opening.​Available in 100ml and 50ml.

Product Description Our Coral Essentials, Coral Power Bacteria Food is a concentrated solution of Acetic Acids and Sucrose for marine aquariums. It is essential to promote nitrifying bacteria growth in all marine systems which aids in the breakdown of organic waste. Nitrifying bacteria (nitrifiers) consist of two bacteria species. The first strain settles as soon as ammonia is present, the second one settles as soon as nitrites are present. Nitrifiers rely on a biochemical reaction (oxidation). Under low oxygen levels, the bacteria use nitrite / nitrate as an acceptor, or garbage collector, reversing the process from nitrifying to denitrifying i.e. removal of nitrates. As an aquarium is loaded with oxygen, the bacteria need ammonia (i.e. food) to stay alive. Coral Power Bacteria Food provides sufficient components to ensure the proper function of nitrifying bacteria.Available in 50ml.
