Aquaforest Component B

Aquaforest Component B

Aquaforest Component B is a marine aquarium additive made from a balanced mixture of heavy metals, designed to accelerate the growth and coloration of corals and filter feeders. It suits reef keepers running SPS, LPS or filter-feeder tanks who want to dose their trace elements in a structured way.

Key Benefits

• Balanced mixture of heavy metals designed to accelerate coral growth and coloration
• Also supports filter feeders in the aquarium
• Forms part of the Component A, B, C system, which works in harmony with other Aquaforest additives and the probiotic method
• Replaces elements absorbed by zeolite media in systems that use them, which helps minimise starvation of the corals
• Dosing can be matched to your tank's calcium consumption

How to Use

• Dose Component B together with Component A and Component C in equal proportions.
• When using Components A, B and C, keep a 5-minute interval between each dose.
• If you run the Probiotic method or any other method that uses zeolite media, you need to add back the elements the zeolites absorb. Component B helps do this.

Dosage

• Mixed-reef aquariums: 5 ml per 100 l of water once a week.
• Dosing by calcium consumption: 1 ml for every 20 ppm/100 l of water.
• Aquariums run with the Balling method: 20 ml per 1 l of Calcium solution.

Suitable For

Frequently Asked Questions

How much Component B do I dose in a mixed-reef tank?
The guideline for mixed-reef aquariums is 5 ml per 100 l of water once a week. You can also adjust the dose to your calcium consumption at 1 ml for every 20 ppm/100 l of water.

Do I have to use Component B with Components A and C?
It is recommended to dose Component B along with Components A and C in equal proportions, as they are designed to work together as a system.

Can I dose A, B and C at the same time?
No. Keep a 5-minute interval between each dose when using Components A, B and C.

How do I dose Component B on the Balling method?
In aquariums run with the Balling method, use 20 ml per 1 l of Calcium solution.

Why do zeolite and Probiotic method tanks need this?
Zeolite media absorb certain elements from the water. Adding them back helps minimise starvation of the corals, and Component B is part of that replenishment.

Which animals can I use Component B with?
It can be used with SPS corals, LPS corals, clams and other filter feeders.
