Aquaforest Fluorine

Aquaforest Fluorine

Aquaforest Fluorine is a highly concentrated marine fluoride supplement for reef keepers who want to support coral calcification and bring out the blues and whites in their corals. It replaces fluoride that is gradually stripped from a closed aquarium system, and it is aimed at SPS and mixed reef tanks.

Why Fluoride Matters in a Reef Tank

Fluoride is one of the main micronutrients in natural seawater and plays a key part in building coral skeletons. In a closed aquarium it is often removed by protein skimmers and filtration media, so it needs to be topped up for healthy coral growth. Regular supplementation also contributes to stronger blue and white coloration and more pronounced fluorescence.

Key Benefits

• Highly concentrated fluoride supplement, so each dose is small
• Supports coral calcification and skeletal tissue growth
• Strengthens the blue and white coloration of SPS corals
• Highlights the fluorescence of most corals
• Contains trace amounts of potassium and iodine
• Replaces fluoride lost to protein skimming and filtration media

How to Use

Add Aquaforest Fluorine to the aquarium water once a day, using the dose below. The amount is based on your water volume, so work it out against your system's total volume.

Dosage

• Add 1 drop of Fluorine per 27 US gallons of water daily.
• 1 ml of Fluorine (~15 drops) in 100 l (27 US gal) of water raises the fluorine level by 0.06 ppm and iodine by 0.015 mg/l (ppm).
• The recommended level of fluorine in a marine aquarium is 1.3 mg/l (ppm).

Suitable For

• Marine and reef aquariums
• Tanks with SPS corals, where blue and white coloration is the goal
• Reef systems with most coral types, to highlight fluorescence
• Systems that use protein skimmers and filtration media, which can remove fluoride

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a reef tank need fluoride added?
Fluoride is one of the main micronutrients in natural seawater and is important for building coral skeletons. In a closed system, protein skimmers and filtration media often remove it, so supplementing is needed for healthy coral growth.

How much Aquaforest Fluorine do I add each day?
Add 1 drop per 27 US gallons of aquarium water daily.

How much does 1 ml raise the fluorine level?
1 ml (~15 drops) in 100 l (27 US gal) of water raises fluorine by 0.06 ppm and iodine by 0.015 mg/l (ppm).

What fluorine level should I aim for?
The recommended level of fluorine in a marine aquarium is 1.3 mg/l (ppm).

Will it affect coral colour?
It is formulated to strengthen the blue and white coloration of SPS corals and to highlight the fluorescence of most corals, alongside supporting calcification and skeletal tissue growth.

Does it contain anything besides fluoride?
Yes, it contains trace amounts of potassium and iodine. That is why dosing also adds a small amount of iodine, as shown in the dosage figures above.
