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)

Very important for your aquarium

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 of 2.88g for 1 day.

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

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 50ml. On the last day please use 12.50ml.

We have detected a lack of molybdenum.
A molybdenum dose may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Can promote enzymatic processes in the reef aquarium
- Can promote the color of SPS and LPS
- Too high a dosage of molybdenum can be detrimental to the aquarium, please dose carefully.
To restore the natural value, please refer to our recommended dosage.

We recommend the corrective dosage of 25.00ml for 1 day.

V

We have detected a lack of vanadium.
A vanadium dosage may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Can have a positive effect on the growth of sponges, sea squirts and SPS and LPS corals
- Can promote a better polyp extension
- May intensify the color of Acropora and Montipora
To restore the natural value, please note our dosing recommendation.
To keep this value, please note our maintenance dose. For calculating the maintenance dose proceed as follows:
1st Test: dose maintenance dose xml
2nd Test: old maintenance dosing xml (from the 1st test) + new maintenance dose meter (from the 2nd test) XML.
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).
4. Test: see above. Thereafter, the dosage should not be increased, even though the analysis indicates a value of 0.

We recommend the corrective dosage of 0.60ml for 1 day.

We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 0.04ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).

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 5ml.

We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 0.83ml. 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 0.25ml. On the last day please use 0.08ml.

Fine-tuning Level 1 ( Advanced )

Ni

Warning, dangerous element for the aquarium. Dosage for professional, experienced aquarists only!
A nickel dose may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Can improve the color image of coral
- Can improve the overall health of LPS and SPS corals
Attention, the concentration of nickel in natural seawater is so low that it can not be detected. If a dose is desired, begin with the recommended dosage listed below and test the value regularly in our laboratory. If nickel are detected, they have overdosed and should adjust the dose immediately. You can increase the dosage of nickel slowly until they see a positive effect.

We recommend the corrective dosage be carried out over 3 days. For the first 2 days the daily dosage should be 10ml. On the last day please use 5.00ml.

Zn

We have detected a lack of zinc.
A zinc dosage may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Can promote enzymatic processes in reef aquariums
- Can promote color and health of LPS and SPS corals
To restore the natural value, please refer to our recommended dosage.
To keep this value, please refer to our maintenance dose. For calculating the maintenance dose proceed as follows:
1st Test: dose maintenance dose xml
2nd Test: old maintenance dosing xml (from the 1st test) + new maintenance dose (from the 2nd test) XML.
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 of 2.00ml for 1 day.

We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 0.20ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).

Cr

Warning: Potentially hazardous element for aquariums. For professional and experienced aquarists only.

Chromium dosing may provide the following potential benefits in reef aquariums:

1. May enhance coral coloration

2. May support calcification and therefore promote coral growth

Important: The natural concentration of chromium in seawater is extremely low and typically below detectable limits.

If you decide to dose chromium, start strictly with the recommended dosage listed below and regularly test your water through our laboratory.

If chromium 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 very slowly over time until a positive effect is observed.

3. May improve the overall health of LPS and SPS corals

Important: The natural concentration of cobalt in seawater is extremely low and typically below detectable limits.

If you decide to dose cobalt, start strictly with the recommended dosage listed below and regularly test your water through our laboratory.

If cobalt becomes detectable in your test results, this indicates that the element has been overdosed and the dosage should be reduced immediately.
