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 3 days. For the first 2 days the daily dosage should be 17.04g. On the last day please use 10.70g.
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 1.25ml for 1 day.
We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 0.13ml. 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 5.68ml.
We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 0.95ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).
Fe
An iron dose may provide the following potential benefits in your aquarium:
May support metabolic processes within the aquarium ecosystem
May improve the overall health of LPS and SPS corals
1. May promote the growth of macroalgae and can therefore be useful in systems designed to cultivate algae
2. In species-specific aquariums, such as seahorse tanks, iron dosing may encourage algae growth and help create a more natural environment
If clams are present in the aquarium, overdosing should be avoided.
Important: The natural concentration of iron in seawater is extremely low and typically below detectable limits.
If you decide to dose iron, begin with the recommended dosage listed below and regularly test your water through our laboratory.
If iron becomes detectable in your test results, this indicates that the element has been overdosed and the dosage should be reduced immediately.
If desired, the dosage can then be increased slowly over time until a positive effect is observed.
We recommend the corrective dosage be carried out over 34 days. For the first 33 days the daily dosage should be 0.284ml. On the last day please use 0.10ml.
