Coral Essentials Coral Power

Coral Power Strontium is a concentrated solution of strontium (50,000 ppm). Strontium in natural sea water is in the order of 8-10ppm. Keeping strontium at this level is advisable and not outside the range of 5-15ppm. Anecdotal evidence has shown that strontium at below 5ppm in the marine aquarium is detrimental to coral growth. For the advanced aquarist strontium levels in marine tanks should be checked regularly to determine the take up in your system. Calculate strontium usage by testing regularly, then simply calculate dosing requirements to suit the depletion rate. Then continue a check of the strontium levels every week or two.

Coral Power Phosphate Up is a balanced, inorganic phosphorous source (1,000 ppm).  It has been specifically formulated to assist in the uptake of nitrate in aquarium systems.  The phosphate based nutrient source, along with naturally occurring bacteria, provide the right environment for nitrification to ensure the uptake of excess dissolved organics.
In ULNS (Ultra Low Nutrient Systems) aquariums corals can have poor colouration and unhealthy if they are starved of available phosphate. Coral Essentials recommends using Coral Power Phosphate Up when you can not achieve the levels of phosphate to maintain a balanced carbon/nitrate/phosphate  system.  Coral will be more vibrant and colourful when nitrate and phosphate are maintained at correct levels. Coral Essentials recommends running your aquarium at a phosphate level between 0.01ppm and 0.05ppm.

Coral Power Nitrate Up is a concentrated, inorganic nitrogen source (50,000 ppm).  In bacteria driven systems it provides an essential nutrient source to assist in biologically balancing marine aquarium systems.  Increasing the available nitrate allows the bacteria present to naturally bring down phosphate levels while providing a food source for your corals.
In ULNS (Ultra Low Nutrient Systems) aquariums corals can become pale and unhealthy if they are starved of available nitrate.  Coral Essentials recommends using Coral Power Nitrate Up when your system is too efficient at removing nitrate.  Coral will be more vibrant and colourful when nitrate and phosphate are maintained at correct levels. Coral Essentials recommends running your aquarium at a nitrate level between 1ppm and 5ppm.

Our Coral Essentials, Coral Power Trace-A is a blend of strontium (50,000 ppm) and barium. Strontium in natural sea water is in the order of 8-10ppm. Keeping strontium at this level is advisable and not outside the range of 5-15ppm. Anecdotal evidence has shown that strontium at below 5ppm in the marine aquarium is detrimental to coral growth. For the advanced aquarist strontium levels in marine tanks should be checked regularly to determine the take up in your system. Calculate strontium usage by testing regularly, then simply calculate dosing requirements to suit the depletion rate. Then continue a check of the strontium levels every week or two.

Coral Power Trace-B is a concentrated blend of Iron, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Cobalt and Nickel. These trace element metals become depleted in marine tanks and need to be replaced. The Iron in our Coral Power Trace-B is at a concentration of 100,000ppm. Use of ourCoral Power Trace-Bis essential to maintain good growth, and bright colouration of SPS coral. The coral shines and shimmers after regular dosing. Also many other biological processes in marine tanks utilise the trace elements in this blend.

Coral Power Trace-C is a blend of Potassium Iodide and Sodium Fluoride. It provides a complete blend of Iodine and Fluorine for the marine environment. These trace elements are depleted by healthy coral and regular use is required to maintain growth and colouration.

Coral Power Amino is a concentrated blend of essential amino acids for marine aquariums. It is essential for enzyme production, tissue growth and skeleton formation. Corals also require amino acids to build protein for tissue growth and also for synthesis of the organic matrix which regulates and accelerates calcium carbonate deposition in the skeleton otherwise known as calcification (Allemand et al. 2004). This organic matrix is a framework of proteins and other compounds that are essential to bio-mineralisation. To ensure growth enhancement of SPS corals, maintain a dosing plan as detailed below. Variances above and below the recommended dosing can be made depending on your own tank conditions and density of coral present. Increased levels of Amino Acids can be readily utilised by coral. We do not recommend dosing at high levels if there are elevated phosphate and nitrate levels in your aquarium. The application of high doses of Coral Power Amino to aquariums with elevated phosphate and nitrate levels can result in algae outbreaks.

Coral Power Bacteria Food is a concentrated solution of Acetic Acids and Sucrose for marine aquariums. It is essential to promote nitrifying bacteria growth in all marine systems which aids in the breakdown of organic waste. Nitrifying bacteria (nitrifiers) consist of two bacteria species. The first strain settles as soon as ammonia is present, the second one settles as soon as nitrites are present. Nitrifiers rely on a biochemical reaction (oxidation). Under low oxygen levels, the bacteria use nitrite / nitrate as an acceptor, or garbage collector, reversing the process from nitrifying to denitrifying i.e. removal of nitrates. As an aquarium is loaded with oxygen, the bacteria need ammonia (i.e. food) to stay alive. Coral Power Bacteria Food provides sufficient components to ensure the proper function of nitrifying bacteria.

Coral Power Bromide is a liquid Sodium Bromide additive at 50000 ppm. Bromine in natural sea water is in the order of 65ppm. For the advanced aquarist bromide levels in marine tanks may be checked regularly to determine the take up in your system.

In natural seawater, bromide can be oxidized (e.g., by ozone, UV/H2O2, or protein skimmers under certain conditions) to form reactive bromine species that have disinfectant properties, helping reduce pathogens and organic load when used in controlled treatments (ozonation, advanced oxidation). 

Bromide participates in the halogen pool (Cl–, Br–, I–). Maintaining natural halide ratios helps preserve normal seawater chemistry that some invertebrates evolved with. In rare cases where bromide is depleted by prolonged advanced oxidation/ozonation, replenishment restores natural halide balance.

Some marine organisms use halides (including bromide) in enzymatic reactions (haloperoxidases) for natural chemical defenses and pigmentation. Adequate halide availability may support those biochemical pathways.

ICP testing of marine aquarium tanks is fast becoming a must do part of our regular maintenance activities if we are to ensure the water quality remains pristine.  We have listened to our customers and developed a range of the most required individual trace elements to tweak the levels in your system.  It's as simple as analysing your ICP test results, decide the level your tank should be at, enter values into our dosing calculator, add the recommended amount.  Just another way all of us here at Coral Essentials help make sure your tank is the best it can possibly be.

Coral Power Potassium is a concentrated solution of Potassium Chloride, 100,000ppm for marine aquariums. It is essential for healthy growth of both soft and hard coral, enhanced red and pink colouration in corals, as well as promoting coral exoskeleton growth. Potassium is one of the fundamental elements for marine tanks. The concentration should be between 380 and 450 mg/l (ppm). Potassium is used in both coral skeleton formation and cellular processes. It is also used by zooxanthellae as it is directly involved in the biosynthesis of glucose through photosynthesis. To ensure healthy coral maintain a dosing plan as detailed below. Variances above and below the recommended dosing can be made depending on your own tank conditions and density of coral present.
