Reef Foundation A by Red Sea is a liquid supplement designed for reef aquariums. It provides calcium and strontium in proportions suitable for the needs of corals, essential elements for the formation and maintenance of a strong and balanced coral skeleton.
Calcium, magnesium, strontium, and carbonates are the fundamental elements of coral skeletons. Their availability in balanced proportions is essential to ensure healthy growth and good resistance of calcareous structures.
Reef Foundation A is an integral part of the Reef Foundation Program included in the Reef Care Program by Red Sea. It is designed to be used in conjunction with other fundamental elements to maintain the ionic balance of the water.
Calcium is the main component of aragonite, which constitutes the coral skeleton. Strontium plays a role in the crystalline structure and helps to strengthen the solidity of the skeleton. Regular supplementation supports coral growth and prevents deficiencies in densely populated reef systems.
