It dissolves into one daily or weekly routine, so reefkeepers dosing against a measured calcium uptake no longer need to manage several separate additives. It is supplied as a 1 kg pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat It Is\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a uniquely formulated powder that combines all the elements of Foundation A, B and C with Reef Colors A and B (potassium, boron, iodine and bromine). The elements are blended in the same ratio found in the coral skeleton. Coral species differ slightly, but the mean ratio between these elements stays fairly constant. Dosing them in a fixed ratio, tied to calcium uptake, replenishes the aquarium according to the metabolic demands of your corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGives accurate metabolic support for corals, based on their calcium uptake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines Foundation A, B and C plus Reef Colors A and B in a single powder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormulated in the exact ratio found in the coral skeleton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimplifies daily dosing of far more than just the foundation elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be dosed daily or weekly to suit your aquarium type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDose daily or weekly, according to your aquarium type and a measured uptake of calcium.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd the powder directly to the sump.
