Nutrients
While most hobbyists understand the importance of nutrients, such as nitrates and phosphates, to coral health, few delve into the intricacies of nutrient dosing processes and their effects on specific coral types. Proper nutrient management can prevent problems such as bleaching but also enhance color intensity and growth. Learn the nuances of nutrient dosing with our detailed guides and case studies.
Base Minerals
Calcium, magnesium and carbonates, are key to building the coral skeleton. How and in what proportions they are added can significantly affect the morphology and hardness of corals. Learn advanced techniques for dosing these elements so that your corals can form the ideal skeletal structure, ensuring not only their survival but also their optimal growth.
Trace Minerals
Trace elements such as iron, zinc and manganese are essential for the enzymatic processes and pigmentation of corals, but are rarely precisely monitored and or dosed. We will show you how to harness the power of trace elements to fine-tune the biological processes in corals and achieve stunning results.
Macro Minerals
Macronutrients such as potassium (potash) and bromine play a key role in enhancing coral vitality and stress resistance, but are often forgotten. Learn how properly adjusting the levels of these elements can lead to improved polyp prolongation, color intensity and overall coral health.
Test kits, ICP and reports
While basic water testing is common practice, accurate ICP-OES testing can provide a great deal of information on trace element concentrations and contaminants in seawater, not uncommonly detecting low trace element levels. This data can be crucial in identifying and correcting obscure problems in a tank.
Subscribe to learn how to interpret ICP-OES test results and make precise adjustments to achieve ideal water parameters in your aquarium.
