We detected elements in your water that can be harmful for your tank.
More information about each element is listed below.

To remedy this we recommend carrying out 6 x 15% water changes with NYOS salt or Red Sea Salt (blue bucket), spread over 6 weeks

Mg

The analysis has found that the Magnesium levels are slightly low.

For the animals kept in your your chosen Habitat this is not a significant issue.  
We still advise to maintain the level within the recommended range by following the dosage advice as it helps improve the general look of your aquarium.

P

Your Phosphorus / phosphate levels are too high.

Check for possible contamination source. To help you in your search for the source of error, we have listed the most common reasons (sorted in descending order of frequency):

1. Overfeeding, especially with dry food or not washed-frozen foods
2. No Phosphate Remover in the system
3. Too much vegetable food
4. Too little flow, "Gammel corners" in the aquarium
5. Weak filtration / skimming
6. use of supplements to increase nutrients

Renew or increase PO4 media, feed less, wash frozen food, avoid dried foods (flakes or pellets)

Zn

Your Zinc levels are too high.

Check for possible contamination source. To assist you in finding the source of error, we have listed the most common sources of zinc (sorted in descending order of frequency):

1. Contaminated trace elements
2. Hand Cream applied before working in the aquarium
3. Contaminated salts

Ni

Your Nickel levels are dangerously high.

Check for possible contamination source. To help you in your search for the source of error, we have listed them the most common nickel sources (sorted in descending order of frequency):

1. Trace element overdose / contamination
2. metals near or in the aquarium (as rusty clamps or screws)
3. Contaminated salts

Mg

Your Magnesium levels are slightly low.

Please check your magnesium test kit for accuracy.

Please dose as recommended in the DOSE tab.

Na

Your Sodium levels are slightly low, this usually indicates that your salinity is too low, or if you are running 2 part Balling your system is out of balance.

Check salinity measuring equipment for accuracy and raise salinity with suitable salt and monitor.

Al

High levels of Aluminium have been found in your system.

As high levels of Aluminium can be dangerous to your aquarium you should try to find the contamination. To assist you in finding the source of error, we have listed them the most common sources of aluminium (sorted in descending order of frequency):

1. Aluminium based Phosphate remover
2. Zeolite
3. Metals in water

Use ROWAphos or Phosban phosphate remover media to remove the aluminium.

Very important for your aquarium

Mg

We have detected a lack of magnesium.
A magnesium dosage can have the following benefits for your aquarium:
- Essential for calcification
- Important for the development of healthy coral skeleton of SPS and LPS corals
To restore the natural value, please refer to our recommended dosage.

We recommend the corrective dosage be carried out over 7 days. For the first 6 days the daily dosage should be 88.88g. On the last day please use 35.61g.

If you have the 1000ml version please visit this link to re-calculate your dosage.

Ca

We have detected a lack of calcium.
A calcium dosage may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Calcium is essential for calcification
- Important for the development of healthy coral skeleton
- A lack of calcium can have very bad effects on the aquarium, please act quickly to restore.
To restore the natural value, they refer to our recommended dosage.

We recommend the corrective dosage be carried out over 4 days. For the first 3 days the daily dosage should be 19.976g. On the last day please use 10.99g.

If you have the 1000ml version please visit this link to re-calculate your dosage.

Show me the product to use

K

We have detected a lack of potassium.
A potassium dose may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Can promote the coloring of SPS
- Can have a positive effect on the bacterial flora
To restore the natural value, they refer to our recommended dosage.

We recommend the corrective dosage be carried out over 2 days. For the first day the dosage should be 13.2g. On the last day please use 1.02g.

If you have the 1000ml version please visit this link to re-calculate your dosage.

Important for your aquarium

I

We have detected a lack of iodine.
A Iodine dose can have the following benefits for your aquarium:
- Improves overall health of SPS corals and macroalgae
- Promotes metabolic processes in the reef aquarium
- Can be helpful against parasites and inhibit their reproduction
To restore the natural value, please refer to our recommended dosage.

We recommend the corrective dosage of 2.84ml for 1 day.

We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 0.28ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).

Show me the product to use

B

We have detected a lack of boron.
A boron dosage can have the following benefits for your aquarium:
- Stabilization of the pH value in the aquarium
- Can promote the colour and health of SPS and LPS
To restore the natural value, please refer to our recommended dosage.

We recommend the corrective dosage be carried out over 2 days. For the first day the dosage should be 44ml. On the last day please use 33.00ml.

Show me the product to use

Sr

We have detected a lack of strontium.
A strontium dose may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Can positively affect coral health
- Important for the development of healthy coral skeleton
To restore the natural value, please refer to our recommended dosage.

We recommend the corrective dosage of 2.17ml for 1 day.

If you have the 1000ml version please visit this link to re-calculate your dosage.

We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 0.07ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).

Fine-tuning Level 1 ( Basic )

Mn

We have detected a lack of manganese.
A Manganese dose may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Can be useful for keeping LPS corals, for example, Goniopora respond very positively to Manganese dosage
- Can promote better polyp extension
To restore the natural value, please refer to our recommended dosage.
To keep this value, refer to our maintenance dose. For calculating the maintenance dose proceed as follows:
1 Test: dose maintenance dose xml
2 Test: old maintenance dosing xml (from the 1st test) + new maintenance dose (from the 2nd test) xml dosing.
3 Test:: old maintenance dosing xml (from the 1st test) + old maintenance dosing xml (from the 2nd test) + new maintenance dose xml meter (from the 3rd Test). Thereafter, the dosage should not be increased, even though the analysis indicates a value of 0.

We recommend the corrective dosage be carried out over 2 days. For the first 2 days the daily dosage should be 4.4ml.

We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 0.73ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).
