Tropic Marin All for Reef Powder Mix

Tropic Marin All-For-Reef is a revolutionary approach to dosing, combining calcium, alkalinity, magnesium and other trace elements into a single, easy to use solution. It's no longer necessary to maintain two, three, or four solutions, or a complicated reactor. All-For-Reef is a balanced source of calcium and carbonate hardness, released through natural biological processes, along with a mix of trace elements. No mixing, no gas cylinders, no fuss. 

Features

• Complete mineral supply with only one solution
• All essential trace elements are already included (all elements of the Tropic Marin® K+ and A- Elements)
• No formation of by-products (e.g. sodium chloride); the salinity and the ion balance are not changed
• No formation of excess carbon dioxide
• Suitable for aquarium stocking with soft corals, LPS, SPS, azooxanthellate filter and/or crustaceans
• Easy to use - suitable for both manual dosage and for dosing pumps

Specifications (per 500 mL)

• Carbonate Hardness Concentration: 2,800 dKH
• Calcium Concentration: 20,000 mg Ca
• Magnesium Concentration: 950 mg Mg

In addition to the calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, All-For-Reef comes pre-mixed with the same elements used in their Trace A and Trace K

• A- ELEMENTS - contains anions of the trace elements bromine, fluorine, iodine, lithium, molybdenum, selenium and vanadium in pure mineral form
• K+ ELEMENTS - contains cations of the trace elements barium, chrome, cobalt, iron, copper, manganese, nickel, strontium and zinc in pure mineral form

Instructions:

Start with a daily dose of 5 ml of All-For-Reef per 100 liters (26 US-gal) of aquarium system volume. Increase the daily dosage – by continuous control of the alkalinity – weekly by 2.5 ml per 100 liters (26 US-gal) of aquarium system volume, until a constant carbonate hardness of 7 to 9 °dH is reached.

Do not exceed a maximum daily dose of 25 ml of All-For-Reef per 100 liters (26 US-gal) of aquarium system volume.

Ingredients

organic calcium salts, salts of magnesium, strontium and trace elements (barium, boron, bromine, chrome,iron, fluorine, iodine, cobalt, copper, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, strontium, vanadium and zinc)

Application & Dosage

Before starting use of Tropic Marin® All-For-Reef as a supplement for your aquarium, it is recommended to adjust your systems calcium, alkalinity and magnesium to your desired values. We recommend using Tropic Marin® Original Balling - Part A (calcium chloride) for the calcium, Tropic Marin® Original Balling - Part B (sodium bicarbonate) for the alkalinity and Tropic Marin® Bio-Magnesium

Preparation of the solution from powder:

The 800 g can of All-For-Reef Powder makes 5 litres of dosing solution, the 1600 g can is enough for 10 litres of dosing solution.

To prepare the liquid mineral mixture, dissolve 6 level scoops (approx. 160 g) of Tropic Marin® All-For-Reef Powder in approx. 900 ml of reverse osmosis water, resulting in a total of 1 l of dosing solution.

Dosage:

Start with a daily dose of 5 ml of Tropic Marin® All-For-Reef per 100 liters (26 US-gal) of aquarium system volume. Increase the daily dosage weekly by 2.5 ml per 100 l (26 US-gal) aquarium volume until you reach constant alkalinity and calcium concentrations.

Once the dosage is established, and the system parameters are stable, measuring either calcium or alkalinity, on a regular basis will monitor your systems changes and needed dosage adjustments. The corresponding parameter only needs to be monitored periodically. We recommend using Calcium as the dosage regulator, as conventional test kits are more sensitive (or accurate) in measuring changes in the calcium concentration than changes of the alkalinity from Tropic Marin® All-For-Reef.

Maximum Dosage: We recommend not to exceed a daily dose of 25 ml of Tropic Marin® All-For-Reef per 100 liters (26 US-gal) of aquarium system volume

Note: In some cases, calcium and alkalinity may be consumed in different ratios than from the coral’s needs alone. If this occurs, and parameters become unbalanced, use the chart to make the proper corrections.
