Aquaforest Component A

AF Cobaltum is a supplement of concentrated cobalt. Cobalt is essential for metabolic changes in all living organisms and is a vital part of vitamin B12. It is especially beneficial for fish coloration and growth of beneficial algae and bacteria. 

• - Designed for saltwater aquariums
  - Concentrated pure cobalt supplement
  - Important nutrient for metabolic changes and vitamin B12
  - Improves fish coloration
  - Supports growth of beneficial algae and bacteria

Molybdenum is a naturally occurring element in seawater. It plays a key role in the transformation and binding of nitrogen, protein biosynthesis, and the biosynthesis of Vitamin C. Without proper levels of Molybdenum, marine organisms can suffer slowdown or complete inhibition of growth.

• - Ideal for saltwater aquariums
  - Concentrated pure molybdebum supplement to mimic natural seawater conditions
  - Key element for biosynthesis of protein and Vitamin C
  - Supports growth of marine organisms

A highly concentrated supplement of strontium, one of the most important elements needed for the growth of both hard and soft corals. This element supports the formation of coral skeletal tissue by improving calcium absorption. Because strontium is removed by skimmers and filtration media in closed aquarium systems, it is important to supplement this element regularly. The AF Lab Strontium formula has been enriched with barium to mimic natural seawater chemistry. 

Micro E is a balanced liquid additive that helps replenish microelements. Coral growth and the probiotic system will consume and absorb heavy metals that are necessary for coral development and can be replenished with MicroE.

 Micro E can be used with:

• - SPS corals
  - LPS Corals
  - Soft Corals
  - Clams & other filter feeders

Iodum is a concentrated iodine supplement, a crucial element for general cell functioning and nutrient transport. This element plays key roles in health for marine invertebrates. Iodine is used by corals for synthesizing pigments which allow them to adapt to variable lighting conditions and protect themselves from UV radiation. It also intensifies dark blue and purple coloration in hard corals. For shrimp, appropriate iodine levels are important to support proper molting. Because this element is constantly consumed by marine tank inhabitants, it is important to supplement it regularly to keep levels as close to natural seawater as possible.

• - Designed for saltwater aquariums
  - Concentrated pure iodine supplement
  - Increases dark blue and purple coloration in hard corals.

Barium is an element naturally occurring in seawater. Although the exact influence of barium on marine organisms is still unknown, it is consistently consumed within a closed aquarium and should therefore be replenished via supplementation in order to maintain seawater parameters consistent with those found in nature. Its supplementation is especially recomended in SPS dominant systems.

• - Designed for saltwater aquariums
  - Concentrated pure barium supplement
  - Mimics natural seawater conditions
  - Highly recomended for SPS dominant systems

Niccolum is a concentrated nickel supplement that is beneficial for the functioning of almost all microorganisms. It is an essential element for coral growth and turquoise coloration and plays a vital role in cell physiology and biofilm formation. A nickel deficiency will result in insufficient nitrogen and iron metabolism and insufficient coral growth.

• - Ideal for saltwater aquariums
  - Concentrated pure nickel supplement
  - Key element for coral growth, turquoise coloration, enzyme reactions and biofilm formation
  - Supports nitrogen and iron metabolism

Component B is designed for complementing minor deficiencies of heavy metals in a marine aquarium. Contains: cobalt, copper, chrome, manganese, zinc, nickel, iron. Skimmer and filtration media tend to remove trace elements from the water of closed aquarium system, making micro nutrients supplementation necessary. The unique composition of the preparation ensures supplementing the water with heavy metals essential in the reef aquarium. Component B was designed based on the ratio of elements in natural seawater. Due to supplementation of crucial elements the corals will gain intense coloration and stay in fantastic condition.

Aquaforest Strontium is a highly concentrated supplement of strontium and barium. Strontium, after calcium and magnesium, is one of the most important elements needed to accelerate the growth of stony skeletal structures in SPS and LPS corals. It supports the formation of hard coral skeletal tissue and significantly improves calcium absorption, while also being a essential nutrient for soft corals like gorgonians, zoas, and mushrooms.

Zincum is a concentrated zinc supplement, providing one of the most important seawater micronutrients to be dosed in your aquarium. Zinc is a necessary element for many enzymes that are responsible for protein metabolism, cell division, tissue repair, groth stimulation, and more. 

• - Designed for saltwater aquariums
  - Concentrated pure zinc supplement
  - Key element for protein metabolism, cell division, tissue repair, and growth

AF Ferrum is a supplement containing highly concentrated iron. Iron is an important micronutrient absorbed by corals and sea anemones. It provides intense green coloration of corals, especially in Acroporas and other SPS corals. Iron also plays a vital role in photosynthesis and is necessary for adequate coral nutrition. 

• - Designed for saltwater aquariums
  - Concentrated pure iron supplement
  - Important nutrient for metabolism and enzymatic processes
  - Improves green coloration in corals
  - Supports photosynthesis and coral nutrition

Boron is one of the trace elements found in the natural environment of corals. It takes part in the metabolism of calcium and accelerates the growth of coralline algae. Due to its properties, it positively influences the development of coral skeletons and improves coloration. Maintaining the appropriate level of boron increases the production of red phytopigments, which lead to more intense coloration of zooxanthella corals (yellow, orange and red).

• - Helps to maintain the proper concentration of boron
• - The highest quality product tested in a laboratory
• - Created in cooperation with the best chemists
• - Improves the color of corals
• - Accelerates the growth of calcareous algae and the calcification of skeletons
