Seachem Reef Pack: Enhancer

Three of Seachem's most popular reef supplements in one package! Use Reef Calcium, bio-available calcium, to accelerate coral growth, Reef Strontium to provide bio-available strontium, and Reef Iodide to supply iodide for rapidly growing soft corals. Includes one 100 ml bottle each of Reef Strontium, Reef Iodide, and Reef Calcium.

Reef Calcium
Reef Calcium is a concentrated (50,000 mg/L) bioavailable polygluconate complexed calcium intended to maintain calcium in the reef aquarium without altering pH. Polygluconate complexation confers several benefits: it increases the bioavailability of the calcium, it provides a rich source of metabolic energy to help maintain peak coral growth, and it prevents calcium precipitation/alkalinity depletion. Polygluconate contains no nitrogen or phosphorous, thus it is biologically impossible for it to lead to algae growth in a properly maintained reef system. Reef Calcium is intended to maintain calcium levels. If calcium becomes seriously depleted, either perform a water change or use an ionic calcium supplement to restore the depleted level of calcium.

Directions:
Add 1 capful (5 mL) per 80 L (20 gallons) twice a week. You can increase the amount or frequency based on growth response but do not exceed 3 capfuls per 80 L (20 gallons) per day. Each capful will raise calcium by about 3 mg/L.

Hints: Use a calcium test kit to measure calcium. It is not necessary to exceed 380 mg/L total calcium when using this product. Color and clarity of Reef Calcium may vary between lots.

Guaranteed Analysis: Amounts per 1 g Calcium 50.00 mg min.; 52.00 mg max.

Reef Strontium
Reef Strontium is a concentrated (10,000 mg/L) gluconate strontium supplement for the reef aquarium that will restore and maintain strontium to levels found in natural sea water. It is most useful in densely populated aquariums requiring a continuous supply of strontium. It has a pH of 8.2 and is neither acidic nor caustic.

Directions:
Beginner: Use 1 capful (5 mL) per 80 L (20 gallons) twice a week.

Advanced: Check strontium level, then follow dosing regimen above until strontium is adjusted to 8-12 mg/L. Each dose will raise strontium by about 0.6 mg/L. Size or frequency of dose can be adjusted. Thereafter, use as required to maintain strontium.

Expert: After determining the strontium consumption rate, set up a continuous drip system. Use the following formula to determine how much to add to your top-off water: m=0.4vs (m=mL of product to add to top off water, v=volume of tank in gallons, s=amount to raise strontium in mg/L). For example, if you want to raise strontium by 2 mg/L in a 50 gallon tank, then you would add 0.4x50x2=40 mL into the top-off water.

Hints: Always use a strontium test kit to measure strontium levels before beginning any supplement regiment.

Reef Iodide
Reef Iodide is an iodide supplement for reef aquariums with dense populations of invertebrates or soft corals. It is also useful in tanks with aggressive skimmers. Reef Iodide is concentrated at 8,000 mg/L. As little as 1 mL in 160 Liters (40 gallons) will raise iodide to natural seawater concentration. It is formulated to provide a safe source of iodide that will not convert to toxic, free iodine under storage or reef conditions. It is recommended that this product be used with a iodide test kit to ensure proper maintenance of iodide levels.

Directions:
Please note that each cap thread is approximately 1 mL, full cap is 5 mL.

Beginner: Add 5 mL (1 capful) for each 200 L (50 gallons) every other day.

Advanced: Add 1 mL for each 80 L (20 gallons) daily to raise iodide by 0.10 mg/L. If necessary, adjust amount so that iodide reads 0.06-0.08 mg/L 6-12 hours after the last amount. Thereafter, use this amount daily and check iodide twice a month.

Expert: After determining the iodide consumption rate, set up a continuous drip system. Use the following formula to determine how much to add to your top-off water: m=0.5vi (m=mL of product to add to top off water, v=volume of tank in gallons, i=amount to raise iodide in mg/L). For example, if you want to raise iodide by 0.10 mg/L in a 50 gallon* tank, then you would add 0.5x50x0.10=2.5 mL into the top-off water.

Hints: It is normal for iodide levels to decline after a few days. This results from utilization and chemical depletion. Therefore, frequency of use will vary with different reef tanks. Dosing can be adjusted based on coral response. To check iodide levels use an iodide test kit.

Guaranteed Analysis: Amounts per 1 g Iodide 8 mg min.
