Aquaforest AF Life Source

Aquaforest AF Life Source is a natural mud for saltwater and reef aquariums, made to buffer and enhance microbiological activity in the tank. It suits reef keepers who want to support stable biological function and give their corals access to minerals and components from a natural marine environment.

Key Benefits

• Natural mud designed to buffer and enhance microbiological activity in marine aquariums.
• Helps stabilise the biological functions of your reef system.
• Gives corals access to components and minerals derived from the natural environment.
• Collected from some of the cleanest waters in the Pacific Ocean (Fiji), where corals thrive and the necessary minerals occur naturally.
• Simple weekly dosing by volume.

How to Use

• Add AF Life Source to the aquarium water at least once a week.
