Aquaforest Component A

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. 

The Aquaforest Starter Pack contains everything you need to set up a new reef aquarium. Designed to be an easy introduction to the comprehensive Aquaforest system, the kit includes salt mix, filter media, biofiltration, test kits, and additives that will help get your tank up and running quickly and without hassle-free. 

Rubidium is an element naturally occurring in seawater. Although the exact influence of rubidium 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

• - Designed for saltwater aquariums
  - Concentrated pure rubidium supplement
  - Mimics natural seawater conditions

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.

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

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.

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.

Lithium is a naturally occurring element in seawater. Although the influence of this element on marine organisms still remains relatively unknown, it has been shown that its deposits are regularly consumed in the aquarium. Therefore, in order to replicate natural conditions as much as possible, it is recommended to regularly dose lithium in marine aquarium systems.

• - Ideal for saltwater aquariums
  - Concentrated pure lithium supplement to mimic natural seawater conditions

Aquaforest Fluorum is a concentrated supplement of fluorine, a naturally occurring element in seawater. Fluorine deposits are regularly removed by skimmers and filtration media in closed aquarium systems, so it is important to supplement this element in order to maintain water parameters as close to nature as possible. Fluorine participates in the calcification process and supports skeletal tissue. Balanced fluoride supplementation also strengthens the blue and white coloration of SPS corals, as well as highlighting the fluorescence of most corals.

• - Concentrated fluorine supplement
  - Mimics conditions of natural seawater
  - Supports development of coral skeletons
  - Strengthens blue and white coloration of SPS corals
  - Highlights fluorescence of most corals

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

Iron is one of the most important minor trace elements in reef aquariums, especially for corals and sea anemones. It greatly increases the respiration capabilities of algae, helping to increase the photosynthesis potential of plants and corals. Iron will also enhance green coloration in stony corals.

Component C is designed for complementing minor deficiencies of iodine and fluorine in a marine aquarium. Skimmer and filtration media tend to remove trace elements from the water of closed aquarium system, making micro nutrients supplementation necessary. In marine aquariums, iodine is responsible for the general cells functioning and for the transfer of nutrients. Fluorine takes part in the calcification process and supports skeletal tissue development. The use of Component C ensures keeping the content of iodine and fluorine in water at the same level as in natural seawater.

Manganum is a concentrated manganese supplement beneficial to just about all living organisms. Manganese is vital to many metabolic processes and is used during photosynthesis, making it a crucial element for proper coral nutrition. This element is also naturally occurring in seawater, so supplementation is recommended to maintain environmental conditions as close to nature as possible within reef aquaria. 

• - Ideal for saltwater aquariums
  - Concentrated pure manganese supplement
  - Key element for metabolic processes, photosynthesis, and coral nutrition

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

Supplement containing concentrated iodine. In marine aquariums iodine is crucial for the general cell functioning and the transfer of nutrients between them. Iodine is constantly consumed by tank inhabitants, therefore, without supplementation its level drops quickly. Iodine is used by corals for synthesizing pigments which allow them to adapt to variable lighting conditions and protect the fragile coral tissues from UV radiation. Iodum intensifies dark blue and purple coloration of hard corals.
