Coral Essentials Micro Elements
Coral Power Boron
Boron Solution is a concentrated liquid boron additive, 50,000 ppm (mg/L). Boron in natural sea water is in the order of 4-5ppm. Boron is a component in forming coral skeletons, co-precipitating with calcium carbonate. Boron also assists slightly in the pH buffering of aquarium water. For the advanced aquarist, boron levels in marine tanks should be checked regularly to determine the take up in your system. Calculate boron usage by testing regularly, then, calculate dosing requirements to suit the depletion rate. Then continue a check of the levels every week or two.
Coral Power Bromide
Coral Power Bromide is a liquid Sodium Bromide additive at 50000 ppm. Bromine in natural sea water is in the order of 65 ppm. For the advanced aquarist bromide levels in marine tanks may be checked regularly to determine the take up in your system.
Coral Power Fluoride
Coral Power Fluoride is a concentrated solution of Sodium Fluoride, 30,000ppm (mg/L) for marine aquariums. It is essential for the healthy growth of soft and hard coral, enhanced blue and violet colouration in corals, and the regulation of zooxanthellae. Fluoride is used in the coral calcification process and is in the skeleton as Sodium Fluoride and Calcium Fluoride. Microscopic analysis shows that Fluoride is a calcification element assisting in calcium carbonate deposition, in a similar way to Strontium. To ensure healthy coral maintain a dosing plan as detailed below. Variances above and below the recommended dosing can be made depending on your tank conditions and the density of coral present.
Coral Power Iodine
Our Coral Essentials, Coral Power Iodine is a concentrated blend of Potassium Iodide 10,000 ppm (1%) for marine aquariums. It is essential for the healthy growth of both soft and hard coral as well as the promotion of healthy macroalgae growth. Iodine is also used for enhanced blue colouration in corals. Iodine is an essential element for proper cellular function and the transfer of nutrients within cells. 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. Invertebrates with exoskeletons (shrimp, crabs, etc.) require iodine for exoskeleton formation as they grow. 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 the density of coral present.
Coral Power Iron
Our Coral Essentials, Coral Power Iron is a concentrated blend of Iron for marine aquariums. It is essential for zooxanthellae photosynthesis, promoting healthy macroalgae growth and enhanced green colouration in corals. Iron is also a base element used in bacterial metabolism, forming part of various physiological processes in marine tanks. It can assist with the functionality of enzymes. Iron can be rapidly depleted in high bacterial mass systems. To ensure healthy SPS corals, zooxanthellae balance, and macroalgae and bacterial functions, maintain a dosing plan as detailed below. Variances above and below the recommended dosing can be made depending on your own tank conditions and the density of coral present. Our Coral Power Iron contains Iron at a concentration of 100,000 ppm.
Coral Power Manganese
The super secret ingredient (anecdotal evidence) of keeping your goni's (goniopora) bright and strong in colouration. It also aids the growth of healthy beneficial macro algae such as chaetomorpha and dragons breath.
Coral Power Molybdenum
This element has been touted as being involved in plant reactions and in the conversion of nitrate to nitrogen gas via its presence in enzymes. It has also been reported to have come role in blue-green algae production.
Coral Power Potassium
Our Coral Essentials, Coral Power Potassium is a concentrated solution of Potassium Chloride, 150,000ppm for marine aquariums. It is essential for the healthy growth of soft and hard coral, enhanced red and pink colouration in corals, and 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. Zooxanthellae also use it as it is directly involved in the biosynthesis of glucose through photosynthesis.
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.
