alpha for reefs
removes chlorine, chloramines & ammonia
detoxifies nitrite & nitrate
alpha is a concentrated conditioner for fresh and saltwater. It is at least 50% more active than competing water conditioners. alpha removes chlorine, chloramine and ammonia. It converts ammonia into a safe, non-toxic form that is readily utilized by beneficial bacteria and reef inhabitants such as clams. alpha may be used during tank cycling to alleviate ammonia/nitrite toxicity. alpha detoxifies nitrite and nitrate, allowing the biofilter to more efficiently remove them. alpha also promotes the production and regeneration of the natural slime coat on fish. alpha is non-acidic and will not impact pH, nor will it over activate skimmers. Use at start-up and whenever adding or replacing water.

balance for reefs
hydroxide blend
balances the carbonate buffer system ratio
raises pH without affecting calcium and alkalinity
A frequent occurence in reef systems is low pH, while calcium and alkalinity are at optimal levels. One of the primary reasons for this is an improper carbonate/bicarbonate ratio. The buffer ratio changes as a natural consequence of the buffer’s ability to counteract acidifying sources such as organic acids (produced naturally from waste) or introduced from non-pH controlled husbandry products. balance resets this ratio by converting bicarbonate into carbonate in order to reassert a higher pH without affecting calcium level. balance is an optimized blend of sodium and potassium hydroxides with a NSW ratio (27:1) of sodium to potassium to avoid ionic imbalance with long term use.

biogen reduces nitrate and phosphate
biogen is a carbon-based biopolymer (PHA) designed to reduce nitrate and phosphate. In a fluidized bed reactor, it will support the growth of bacteria that consume nitrate and phosphate over 10% more efficiently than the leading competitor. Reducing phosphate and nitrate can enhance coral coloration and reduce nuisance coatings of rock and decorations.

calcification for reefs
raises & maintains calcium
accelerates coral growth
Calcification is a concentrated (140 000 mg/L) optimized blend of ionic and bioavailable gluconate-complexed calcium designed to restore and maintain calcium to levels found in natural seawater, without affecting pH. Ionic calcium is readily available, while the gluconate-complexed calcium prevents calcium precipitation and alkalinity depletion. These two forms of calcium are combined in calcification to provide the hobbyist with a convenient way to ensure peak coral growth and health.

eight.four for reefs
safely raises & buffers pH to 8.4
raises carbonate alkalinity
Many competing buffers for reef aquaria are simply sodium bicarbonate. Such buffers have a pK of only 8.0 in saltwater and simply are unable to maintain a pH above 8.0. The low buffering pK is a function of the low carbonate/bicarbonate ratio. eight.four supplies a properly balanced (carbonate/bicarbonate) buffer system that yields an industry leading pK of 8.6 which makes pH maintenance of 8.3-8.5 easy. eight.four will safely raise marine pH while adjusting alkalinity. eight.four contains a concentrated, balanced blend of bicarbonate and carbonate salts designed to restore disrupted buffer systems and increase carbonate alkalinity.

envy for plants
make your plants green with envy
comprehensive carbohydrate, vitamin, amino acid and polyunsaturated fatty acid supplement for plants
envy is a comprehensive carbohydrate, vitamin, amino acid and polyunsaturated fatty acid supplement that makes these compounds available to plants. envy contains ascorbic acid in a base of chlorella that contains a rich assortment of amino acids and vitamins.

ions for reefs
raises magnesium
fully dissolved
maintains strontium and boron
contains no ammonia!
A low magnesium level is a frequent occurence in reef systems. This low level is one of the reasons why pH is low when both calcium and alkalinity are at optimal levels. Magnesium will decline due to precipitation during kalkwasser addition or elevated alkalinity. Biological utilization may also be a factor if there is a high bio-load. Ions restores magnesium by employing the most concentrated (90 000 mg/L), fully dissolved magnesium and does so without adding any ammonia. A proprietary process makes ions the first and only liquid magnesium supplement that does not contain ammonia. Ions also includes strontium and boron in the NSW ration of 1.7:1 to avoid ionic imbalance with long term use.
