Reef Foundation

Balanced supplements and test kits for building robust coral skeleton

Robust coral skeletons that are essential for all reefs are achievable by ensuring

that the basic foundation elements Calcium, Magnesium, Strontium and Carbonate

are readily available in the correct (biologically balanced) ratio to each other. The

actual levels of the foundation elements, within the range suitable for reefs, will

determine the rate of coral skeleton growth.

The Reef Foundation products provide a complete solution for testing and

supplementing these foundation elements for all types and sizes of reef aquarium.

Reef Foundation B (Alk): A complex of carbonate and other buffers present in seawater that maintain proper alkalinity and pH. Concentration: 1ml will raise the alkalinity of 100 liters (25gal) by 0.36 meq/l (1dKH)

Reef Foundation C (Mg): A blend of Magnesium salts. Concentration: 1ml will raise the Mg level of 100 liters (25gal) by 1ppm.
