In an exciting development for reef-keepers Red Sea has developed a unique patent pending formula to treat the pest anemones Aiptasia sp., Anemonia majano and Boloceroides sp.

Aiptasia-X consists of natural components which form a uniquely thick, adhesive material.

Instead of causing the Aiptasia to feel threatened, the unique formula is sensed as food stimulating the anemone to expand and ingest the material without causing it to withdraw into its hole. The adhesive globule effectively seals the anemone's oral disk and mouth, preventing the release of its planulas

Within minutes of ingesting the Aiptasia-X the anemone will implode, eradicating both the anemone and planulas

Aiptasia-X globules will not effect the sessile polyps of corals and allows for the safe treatment of Aiptasia that have grown inside coral colonies

Excess Aiptasia-X will decompose over time without causing any harm to the reef

Pack comes complete with :

60ml bottle of Aiptasia-X
One syringe
1 Straight needle applicator
1 Angled needle applicator

Kit Includes :

Also ideal for any new marine aquarium

Red Sea Reef Grow Kit includes the 3 essential supplements required for sustained reef growth: Calcium Magnesium Coral Buff (KH).

Corals, coralline algae, giant clams, etc., grow their skeletons, shells and other structures by forming calcium carbonate (CaCo2) from the elements that are in the sea water.

Calcium carbonate therefore is the major building block of all calcifying organisms in the reef environment. In a healthy growing reef both calcium and carbonates (the buffering component of sea water measured as alkalinity) are constantly being depleted.

The presence of magnesium in the seawater effects effects the formation of the calcium carbonate and therefore must be maintained in the correct ratio with calcium and alkalinity at all times.

Red Sea Reef Grow Kit : contains 3 x 100ml bottles

1. Calcium : Ion balanced calcium for sustained coral growth

2. Coral Buff : Maintains a high buffer capacity & stable pH in reef aquariums

3. Magnesium : Ion balanced magnesium for sustained coral growth

The pH of natural seawater is remarkably stable due to its nearly inexhaustible stock of dissolved buffers (mainly bicarbonates), which prevent pH changes.

In an aquarium the buffering substances are used up by calcareous algae and invertebrates and by the acid waste products of the fish. A low buffer capacity (alkalinity) may allow a sudden fall in pH which would be very dangerous to all organisms in the aquarium. Check the alkalinity of your aquarium weekly with Red Sea’s pH/Alkalinity Mini-lab test kit.

Marine Success Buff contains carbonates and bicarbonates of Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium and Boron blended in the ratio as found in natural seawater. When used weekly as directed, Buff will maintain a high buffer capacity and a stable pH.

Recommended for use in conjunction with weekly 10% water changes

In the reef aquarium, a constant high calcium level is required to promote the growth of hard corals. This element should be supplemented regularly, since it is used up quickly by the growing corals and calcareous algae.

Success Calcium will not affect the pH or alkalinity (buffer capacity) of your aquarium and small amounts will raise the calcium level considerably.

This product contains only natural components in a balanced composition, which will not disturb the anion balance of the sea salt even after prolonged use.

Calcium should be supplemented together with Strontium, Molybdenum & Trace in combination with weekly 10% water changes, (i.e. using Red Sea Salt).

Calcium Strontium Molybdenum & Iodine in One Bottle

Reef Success Calcium +3 utilizes the exclusive Actively Balanced Consumption process, which allows organisms to completely take in the vitamins, minerals and elements they need at the exact ratio and proportion they need it.

Calcium and strontium are used by corals, other calcareous invertebrates and seaweeds, while iodine and molybdenum are essential to the cell processes of the aquarium inhabitants.

These elements are used up faster than can be compensated by partial water changes.

Calcium + 3 is the only formulated calcium replenisher which combines strontium, molybdenum and iodine in a unique manner so that no cation or anion displacement occurs when added to the aquarium. This formula will promote the growth of hard and soft corals and other invertebrates.

Directions:
Shake well before use.
Do not add directly to aquarium. Add correct dosage to fresh water, used to compensate for evaporation, stir and add gradually to your filter sump.

Dosage:
Add 1 teaspoon [0.17 fl. oz. (US) - 5 ml] for each 60 gallons (240 litres) of aquarium water per week.

Irritant
Contains blended calcium salts.
Irritating to eyes.
In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.

In addition to Calcium and Bicarbonate ions, corals take up a range of minor trace elements which form part of the crystal structure of the coral skeleton. Studies have shown that although there are slight differences between the species, the mean ratio of the trace elements and the relationship between these elements and calcium is fairly constant.

Coral Trace is a scientifically formulated mixture of the trace elements prepared in the same proportions as used by corals.

The trace element iodine plays a very important role in the life cycle of invertebrates especially soft corals and crustaceans as well as fish and seaweeds. Iodine is rapidly depleted from the aquarium water through protein skimming and at a faster rate if ozone is applied.

Success Iodine is formulated for weekly use to avoid iodine deficiency in the reef & marine aquarium. When dosed correctly, soft corals will show improved growth and optimal extension.

Magnesium plays an important role in the reef aquarium. In addition to its many biological functions, it serves to prevent the excessive precipitation of calcium and bicarbonate, which lowers the calcium level and causes a drop in alkalinity.

Magnesium should be maintained at approximately 3 times the level of Calcium, measured in ppm.

Success Magnesium contains only natural components in a balanced composition that safely raise the Magnesium level without disturbing the anion balance of the seawater even after prolonged use.

Magnesium should be supplemented in combination with weekly 10% water changes, (i.e. using Red Sea’s Red Sea Salt.)

Molybdenum plays a vital role in the biology of many marine invertebrates, filter bacteria and sea weeds. Among other functions, it is an essential component of certain enzymes produced by the above mentioned organisms. Regular dosing of this element is vital for the long term health of the reef aquarium ecosystem.

Molybdenum is only one of the elements constantly extracted from seawater and should therefore be added regularly together with calcium, strontium & trace elements.

To maintain and stimulate coral growth, use regularly in combination with weekly 10% water changes (i.e. using Coral Reef Red Sea Salt).

Although only a minor trace element in seawater, Strontium is essential to the building of calcareous skeletons, shells of corals, mollusks and many other invertebrates.

Strontium is only one of the elements constantly extracted from seawater by reef building organisms and should therefore be added regularly together with Calcium, Molybdenum & Trace elements.

To maintain and stimulate coral growth, use regularly in combination with weekly 10% water changes (i.e. using Red Sea Salt).
