Reef Foundation A from Red Sea is a supplement intended for the supply of calcium and strontium in reef aquariums. It directly contributes to the formation and maintenance of the coral skeletons.
Calcium, magnesium, strontium, and carbonates are the fundamental elements of coral skeletons. They must be present in balanced proportions to ensure healthy and sustainable growth of reef organisms.
Calcium is the main element in coral calcification, while strontium plays a role in the structure and strength of the coral skeleton. A controlled supply of these elements is essential to support the continuous growth of hard corals.
Reef Foundation A contains a mixture of calcium and strontium salts formulated according to the physiological needs of corals and is an integral part of the Red Sea Reef Care program.
| Form | Dosage | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Liquid supplement | 1 ml per 100 L | Increases calcium by 2 ppm |
| Powder supplement | 1 g per 100 L | Increases calcium by 3.6 ppm |
The powder version allows the preparation of a stock solution, with 1 kg yielding approximately 1.8 L of concentrated solution.
Maintaining a stable calcium level is essential for the growth of hard corals and the formation of a solid aragonite skeleton. Reef Foundation A contributes to the overall ionic stability of the reef aquarium.
Reef Foundation A is available in various sizes to meet the needs of reef aquariums, including the 1000 ml size for regular use.
Reef Foundation A Ca Sr is recommended as part of regular monitoring of calcium parameters, in addition to KH and magnesium products for optimal reef balance.
