🔹 ION ELEMENTS 1 (Ca/Mg)
- Type: Trace elements for Calcium & Magnesium solution
- Use: Added to ION-B Ca/Mg+
- Function: Core structural trace elements for skeletal growth
Key Elements Included:
- Molybdenum
- Rubidium
- Strontium
Role in Reef System:
- Supports calcification and skeleton formation
- Enhances SPS growth and density
- Stabilises long-term ionic balance
Dosing Method:
- Not dosed directly
- Mixed into Ca/Mg solution
- Typical ratio: ~10–20 ml per liter of base solution
🔹 ION ELEMENTS 2 (Ca/Mg)
- Type: Trace elements for Calcium & Magnesium solution
- Use: Added to ION-B Ca/Mg+
- Function: Metabolic and enzymatic trace elements
Key Elements Included:
- Iron
- Zinc
- Manganese
- Copper
- Cobalt
- Nickel
- Chromium
- Vanadium
Role in Reef System:
- Drives colouration (especially SPS pigments)
- Supports zooxanthellae health
- Improves polyp extension and vitality
Key Advantage:
- “Fast-consumed” elements like iron are stabilised and immediately available
🔹 ION ELEMENTS 3 (Alk/pH)
- Type: Trace elements for Alkalinity / pH solution
- Use: Added to ION-B Alk/pH+
- Function: Colour, fluorescence and metabolic balance
Key Elements Included:
- Iodine
- Fluorine
- Potassium
- Selenium
Role in Reef System:
- Boosts coral fluorescence and colour intensity
- Supports soft tissue health
- Helps maintain stable pH environment
Dosing Method:
- Mixed into Alk solution
- Same ratio: ~10–20 ml per liter of base solution
🔧 How the System Works
Instead of dosing:
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Alkalinity
-
- 15+ trace elements separately
👉 You dose ONLY:
- 1x Ca/Mg solution (with Elements 1 + 2 mixed in)
- 1x Alk solution (with Elements 3 mixed in)
➡️ This reduces:
- Dosing pumps needed
- Human error
- Instability
➡️ And keeps:
- Full trace element coverage
- ICP-adjustable precision
