Reef supplement database. What do you use?

A successful coral reef aquarium depends on how well you maintain the water parameters which are the key to a stable coral environment. All of the elements found in natural seawater play a role in providing optimal water parameters, but some are more significant than others. These elements, the foundation of the reef environment, include the three major elements: Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg) and Carbonates (CO3). All three have a major effect on water chemistry (pH stability, Alkalinity, ionic strength) and on many of the coral’s biological processes (skeleton formation, ions exchange, photosynthesis).

The foundation elements complement each other in the formation of coral skeleton. If not balanced correctly one of the elements will quickly limit healthy coral growth.

Ionic calcium solution contains no unwanted organic material such as EDTA or gluconate. Highly concentrated Calcion increases calcium concentration in marine aquarium water to provide corals and other reef-building invertebrates with one of the most important elements required for growth. Formulated by a marine scientist, Calcion is over 50% stronger than most competing calcium supplements and is free of phosphate, silicate, and organic material. 17 oz treats up to 5,000 gallons

Regulate calcium and carbonate balance in saltwater aquariums. Highly concentrated Magnesion helps limit unwanted inorganic precipitation of calcium and carbonates by providing magnesium. Also aids in the formation of skeletal material in reef-building organisms such as corals and clams. Magnesium supplementation with Magnesion establishes a balance between calcium and magnesium levels for effective calcium supplementation and proper calcium utilization by corals. 17 oz treats up to 2,000 gallons.

on my main tank i run my cal rx with a chamber for neo mag then a buffer chamber before it goes back into my sump.. then i run my kalk reactor with my ATO.. i feed my tank my homemade special blend of pythoplankton

on my frag setup i dose reef snow, homemade special blend of pythoplankton, and reef trace
