Fish & Coral Care

The Fish & Coral Care category includes products and methods designed to maintain the health, growth, and optimal coloration of marine fish and corals in a reef aquarium.

Operating Principles

• Bacterial Treatments: formulations (Bacto Therapy, ProBio Marin) that enhance the intestinal flora of fish and the beneficial microfauna of corals.
• Vitamin Supplements: multivitamin complexes (e.g. VitaChem) to prevent deficiencies and support metabolism and coloration.
• Stress Regulators: additives (StressGuard) that reduce stress during water changes or the introduction of species.
• Targeted Coral Care: gels or solutions (Coral Vitality, Coral Cure) to treat lesions, promote tissue healing, and stop infections.

Benefits

• Overall Health: prevention of bacterial diseases and strengthening of natural defenses.
• Vibrant Coloration: stimulation of pigments and reduction of bleaching.
• Stress Reduction: better acclimation during handling and environmental changes.
• Quick Recovery: acceleration of wound healing and limitation of necrosis in corals.

Usage Recommendations

• Administer probiotics and vitamins according to the indicated doses (often 1–2 mL per 100 L) after a water change to maximize effectiveness.
• Apply coral treatments locally (with a pipette or syringe) to the affected areas, then leave the corals in calm water without strong circulation for 12–24 hours.
• To reduce fish stress during introduction, add StressGuard 30 minutes before and after placing in the tank.
• Combine bacterial treatments with optimal skimming to avoid any accumulation of organic waste.
• Monitor the condition of the fish and corals daily during the treatment, stop the treatment upon improvement, and perform a partial water change if necessary.
