Product Description
StressGuard™ is the premium slime coat protection product. StressGuard™ will reduce stress and ammonia toxicity whenever handling or transporting fish. StressGuard™ binds to exposed protein in wounds to promote healing of injured fish and to reduce the likelihood of primary and secondary infections. StressGuard™ is compatible with all medications except those that are copper based. StressGuard™ is not amine based and will not interfere with Purigen®; or HyperSorb™ regeneration. StressGuard™ does not coat resins or clog filtration like competing “slime coat” type products can.
What makes StressGuard™ very successful at healing is the fact that it contains protein active colloids. This protein active colloidal agent actively seeks out any wounds, abrasions, or places where exposed proteins are and attaches to this area to help directly deliver the disinfectant in the product and start the healing process. This protein active colloid, because it binds to the exposed proteins, also acts like a liquid bandage to the abrasion. Some products are marketed to be squirted in the bag when a fish is purchased. Those products are generally acidic, with some brands being a very strong acid. Putting such a product in a small, enclosed container with a fish often does more harm than any intended good. StressGuard™ has a pH of 7.0. It will not affect the pH of an aquarium, even at large doses. There are no other products on the market that can compare to the effectiveness of StressGuard™.
Sizes: 50 mL, 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 4 L
Product Description
Vitality™ is a comprehensive vitamin, amino acid, and trace element supplement developed to address nutritional requirements commonly associated with long term closed system housing of marine ornamental fish. Vitality™ contains ascorbic acid in a heavy base of spirulina and chlorella. Ascorbic acid is a cofactor in the hydroxylation of proline and lysine to components of procollagen, the precursor of collagen, necessary for the formation of connective tissues, scar tissue in wound repair, and bone matrix.* Both spirulina and chlorella contain a rich assortment of amino acids and vitamins. Vitality™ can be used on freshwater ornamental fish; however, it is specifically designed for marine fish.

Shake well before using. For best results, soak fish food
Product Description
Tropic Marin® A- Elements contains a selection of essential anionic trace elements for the promotion of growth and the natural colouring of the corals.
Trace elements are natural minerals which are needed by all aquarium inhabitants to maintain biological processes in the cells. Corals and other invertebrates also use large quantities of these minerals for their skeletal development. We recommend the additional use of Tropic Marin® K+ Elements to ensure a complete supply of trace elements (essential cationic trace elements).
essential anionic trace elements for corals in liquid form
Together with Tropic Marin® K+ Elements, the Tropic Marin® A- Elements supplies a complete profile of the essential trace elements with only two solutions.
Tropic Marin® A- Elements contains predominantly anionic trace elements such as iodine, fluorine, bromine, lithium, vanadium, molybdenum and selenium in pure mineral form
promotes strong growth and the natural colouring of the corals
no colour loss in the corals from trace element deficiency
easy to use - suitable for both manual dosage and for dosing pumps
Product Description
ALL-FOR-REEF is an easy- to-use, highly concentrated solution for the supply of ALL essential minerals and trace elements in new or moderately stocked reef aquariums.
Benefits:
Complete mineral supply in only one solution
The most important trace elements are already included (all elements of the Tropic Marin® K+ ELEMENTS & A- ELEMENTS)
No formation of by-products (e.g. sodium chloride); the salinity and the ion balance are not altered
No formation of excess carbon dioxide
Suitable for an aquarium stocked with soft corals, LPS, SPS, other filter feeders and/or crustaceans
Easy to apply – suitable both for manual dosing and for dosing pump
Minerals are consumed through the growth of organisms and other processes in the aquarium and must therefore be supplemented regularly. These include mainly the necessary elements calcium, magnesium and strontium and carbonate hardness elements for the growth of the calcareous skeletons of stony corals, red coralline algae and other reef organisms. ALL FOR REEF contains all these components in highly concentrated form and also contains the most important trace elements: Iodine, bromine and fluorine for growth and stabilization of the skeletons of stony corals, sponges and crustaceans; selenium to eliminate free radicals; molybdenum and vanadium for the establishment of important enzyme complexes.
With these components, co-ordinated in their concentration ratio, ALL-FOR-REEF creates excellent care conditions in only one solution. No additional compounds are created (e.g. sodium chloride) that alter the salinity or the ion balance.
Ingredients: Organic calcium salts, salts of magnesium, trace elements (barium, boron, bromine, chrome, cobalt, copper, fluorine, iodine, iron, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, strontium, vanadium and zinc in pure mineral form)
How to use:
Start with a daily dose of 5 ml of ALL-FOR-REEF per 100 litres (26 US-gal) of aquarium system volume. Increase the daily dosage – by continuous control of the alkalinity – weekly by 2.5 ml per 100 litres (26 US-gal) of aquarium system volume, until a constant carbonate hardness of 7 to 9 °dH is reached.
Do not exceed a maximum daily dose of 25 ml of ALL-FOR-REEF per 100 litres (26 US-gal) of aquarium system volume.
500 ml ALL-FOR-REEF contain 20,000 mg calcium, 950 mg magnesium, 390 mg strontium, 2,800 °carbonate hardness and 17 mg iodine.
Product Description
Tropic Marin® All-For-Reef Powder is an ultra-concentrated mineral blend, with which an easy-to-use, highly concentrated all-round solution for supplying all key minerals and trace elements in newly established and averaged reef aquariums is available after being dissolved in reverse osmosis water.
Update: Dark Spots =Iodine per Tropic Marin - Just heard from Tropic marin....the dark spots are Iodine from the new formulation of A4R where they increased this element.
Through the growth of organisms and other processes in the aquarium, minerals are consumed and must therefore be supplemented regularly. These include, in particular, the necessary elements calcium, magnesium and strontium, as well as carbonate hardeners for the growth of calcium carbonate skeletons in stony corals, lime red algae and other reef organisms. Tropic Marin® All-For-Reef contains all of these components in a highly concentrated form. In addition, all essential trace elements are also included: Iodine, bromine and fluorine for the growth and strengthening of skeletons in stony corals, sponges and crabs; selenium for eliminating free radicals, and iron, manganese, zinc, copper, nickel, chromium, cobalt, molybdenum and vanadium for the development of important enzyme complexes.
With these components and balanced in its concentration ratio, Tropic Marin® All-For-Reef creates the best care conditions with just one solution. There are no additional compounds (e.g. sodium chloride) that alter the salinity or ion balance.

Product Description
AcroPower supplies amino acids that corals need to build their skeletal architecture. Like other cnidaria, corals have a special ability to uptake dissolved amino acids across their entire surface. Closed system aquariums with protein skimming and other ULN (ultra-low nutrient) filtration methods deplete amino acids that are vitally important for coral health. Corals become more colorful within days due to the extension of the growing margins when AcroPower is used.
Product Description
Calcium Supplement Mix. Our pure source of Calcium Hydroxide makes the ideal solution for replenishing calcium and maintaining alkalinity, for corals, clams, and calcareous algae that build skeletons of calcium carbonate. It also helps maintain pH, precipitates phosphates and enhances protein skimming.
