Pack Base Element 2x2,8L

Turtle System BASE ELEMENT – Two-component solution for ionic balance in reef aquariums

The Turtle System BASE ELEMENT solution is a ready-to-use two-component formula, specially designed for the daily maintenance of KH, calcium, and magnesium levels in reef aquariums. This product ensures long-lasting chemical stability and optimal ionic balance, which are essential for the health of corals and microfauna.

The ready-to-use solution of Turtle System

The ready-to-use Turtle System solution for maintaining KH, calcium, and magnesium! Designed to simplify dosing while ensuring optimal precision, it is intended for both experienced aquarists and enthusiasts looking for a reliable and automatable method.

Presentation and principle

Composed of two separate containers, the BASE ELEMENT solution effectively replaces a classic Balling method, while saving the use of a dosing pump head. It allows users of the NWC protocol to perform their complete dosages with a simple 4-channel dosing pump.

Unlike competing solutions, BASE ELEMENT contains no added trace elements, thereby ensuring precise control of inputs in your reef aquarium.

Functioning and ionic balance

The two solutions work together to maintain a perfect balance:

• Solution A maintains calcium and magnesium.
• Solution B maintains the KH and balances the major ions in the water.

The two components are designed to be dosed in equal parts in a standard reef aquarium. Custom adjustments may be necessary depending on the consumption of each tank.

Maintenance of parameters and salinity

Like a classic Balling method, the use of BASE ELEMENT causes a slight increase in salinity. In most aquariums, this rise is naturally offset by the water extracted by the skimmer. In aquariums with high consumption, it may be necessary to periodically remove some seawater and replace it with osmosis water.

The product also compensates for the gradual loss of elements such as sulfur and potassium, ensuring a balanced maintenance of the chemical composition over the long term.

User manual

Usage recommendations

For precise and evolving dosages, use the intelligent BASE ELEMENT calculator available on the manufacturer's website. This calculator tracks your aquarium over time and automatically adjusts the recommendations based on KH and calcium tests conducted at home.

Storage precautions

Solution B, which is highly concentrated in KH, should be stored at room temperature. In the event of crystallization due to cold, simply allow the container to return to temperature or place it in a water bath for a few minutes. If the area is unheated, dilute the solution by half (for example, 5 L of solution B + 5 L of osmosis water) to prevent any crystallization.

Composition

Key Benefits of the Turtle System BASE ELEMENT

• Simple two-component formula that is easy to dose and ready to use.
• Complete ionic balance without the addition of superfluous trace elements.
• Compatible with standard 4-channel dosing pumps.
• Continuous compensation of major elements removed during skimming.
• Intelligent tracking and automatic adjustment thanks to the dedicated calculator.

Usage tips

Maintain a stable temperature to prevent any crystallization. Regularly monitor your KH and calcium levels and adjust the dosage based on the results obtained. For optimal performance, use accurate tests and conduct an ICP analysis every 1 to 2 months.
