ATI Essentials+ SPS Liquid Feeding System for Reef Aquariums

ATI Essentials+ SPS is a ready-to-use liquid feeding system designed to ensure optimal growth, balanced metabolism, and intense color development in SPS-dominated marine aquariums.

This system is a direct evolution of the Pro Essentials and benefits from the experience of over 40,000 seawater analyses conducted in the laboratory.

Comprehensive Supply of Major Elements

Essentials+ SPS provides all the major elements necessary for the stability of reef aquariums, including boron, bromine, calcium, fluorine, potassium, carbonate hardness, magnesium, sulfur, and strontium.

Essential Trace Elements Without Accumulation

The system ensures a constant basic supply of essential trace elements without the risk of undesirable accumulation. This includes cobalt, iron, iodine, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, rubidium, selenium, vanadium, and zinc.

Stability of pH and KH

The KH component, formulated exclusively from inorganic carbonate sources, stabilizes the pH value at a higher level. This feature is particularly sought after in reef aquariums containing sensitive SPS corals.

Balanced Formulation and Simplified Dosing

Concentrations are adjusted to allow for the addition of equal amounts of the two solutions. This design facilitates individual adaptation to the needs of each aquarium while avoiding ion displacement.

Essentials+ SPS is approximately 3.6 times more concentrated than a classic Balling solution and can be used immediately without dilution or prior preparation.

Concentrated Format and Space Saving

The Essentials+ 2 x 2700 ml kit effectively replaces 3 x 10 liters of conventional feeding solutions. It offers a high concentration, with 28,000 °dKH and 200,000 mg of calcium per kit.

This compact format reduces clutter while maintaining feeding capacity suitable for demanding reef aquariums.

Effects on Reef Corals

Essentials+ SPS promotes the growth, coloration, and vitality of corals. It is an appropriate solution for transitioning from conventional feeding systems to a more concentrated and simplified method.

Daily Consumption and Stability

A reef aquarium is a dynamic ecosystem where organisms continually consume dissolved elements. The stability of inputs is essential for maintaining parameters.

It is recommended to measure the KH value each day at the same time and then add the same amount of Essentials+ #1 and #2 to maintain a stable KH around 8 German degrees. Consistency in additions is a key success factor.

By adjusting inputs according to actual consumption, Essentials+ helps to sustainably maintain the natural values of seawater, a fundamental basis of a balanced reef aquarium.

Manufacturing Quality and Laboratory Control

The production of ATI Essentials+ products is subject to strict control by the ATI laboratory. Raw materials are selected for their high purity, ensuring a superior final product intended for demanding reef aquariums.

Dosage Principles

In most cases, Essentials+ #1 and #2 are consumed equivalently. The dosage can be adjusted according to the KH consumption of the aquarium.

If a variation in calcium is observed over time, the dosage of Essentials+ #2 should be adjusted according to measured consumption.
