Aquaforest Component 3 in 1

Aquaforest Component 3 in 1

Aquaforest Component 3 in 1 is a marine conditioner and Balling-method supplement that delivers calcium, magnesium and KH together with trace elements in a single bottle. It is made for reef keepers who want a simple, space-saving way to supply the macro and microelements corals need for growth and colour in a marine aquarium.

Key Benefits

• Combines a balanced blend of macro and microelements in one bottle, so you don't need to manage several separate additives.
• Highly concentrated calcium, magnesium and KH in proportions matched to coral requirements.
• Supports coral growth and helps improve and maintain coral coloration.
• Provides macronutrients in a form that marine organisms assimilate easily.
• Contains essential trace elements that play a key role in metabolic processes, coral growth and intense coloration.
• Quick, simple dosing. The 3-in-1 formula removes the chance of choosing the wrong proportions.
• Contains organic calcium salts, so it also works as a carbon source in the aquarium.

How It Works

Component 3 in 1 is a comprehensive macro and micro element product created around the Balling method. Because calcium, magnesium and KH are already combined in proportions that suit corals, one product covers what would otherwise take several measured doses.
