Replaces minor and trace elements used by aquarium inhabitants, and which are lost through…
Next-generation, enhanced activated carbon, offering superior chemical filtration characteristics to traditional activated carbon. Triple-action removes ammonia, chloramines, and latent organic material, and then facilitates decomposition and oxidation/reduction reactions, enhancing oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and promoting water quality. Features high capacity for organic removal, high Iodine number, and minimal dust. Average particle size encourages optimal flow and effectiveness.
Premium quality activated carbon, offering desirable physical and chemical characteristics for application in all marine and freshwater aquaria, featuring high capacity for the removal of latent organic material from water and minimal impact on pH. Promotes water quality by removing dissolved organic material, hence encouraging higher oxidation-reduction potential (ORP). Features high capacity for organic removal (high Molasses number), high Iodine number, low ash content, minimal dust, and immeasurable…
Brightwell Aquatics LUGOLS is an extremely powerful iodine solution. The predominant form of iodine in seawater is iodide. The natural seawater concentration of all iodine species combined is approximately 0.06 ppm, classifying it as a minor element. Brightwell Aquatics Lugol’s Solution for use by advanced reef aquarium hobbyist
Part of a complete system for simplifying and maintaining proper water chemistry in very small (e.g. “nano”) reef aquaria. NanoCode A provides calcium, potassium, and strontium in aragonite ratios, enhanced magnesium (relative to the aragonite ratios), and non-conservative minor* and trace elements in natural seawater ratios. Used in conjunction with NanoCode B, promotes stable water chemistry and improves rate of…
The carbonate-bearing component of a two-part method for dosing calcium and carbonates (the substances largely responsible for increasing alkalinity (”buffering capacity”)) in the same ratio as that found in natural seawater. Ionically-balanced with respect to natural seawater concentrations of calcium and carbonates when used in equal amounts with Reef Cōde A. Benefits reef-building organisms such as corals, clams, calcareous algae,…
For use by experienced, qualified professional aquarists only. Ionic, non-chelated copper solution. 1 drop per gallon of water increases free copper concentration by ~0.20 ppm. For use in fish-only aquaria. Not for use with scaleless fish. Not for use in aquaria housing live plants or invertebrates. Consult an appropriate reference source for the use of ionic copper solutions inaquaria before…
• Formulated specifically for marine aquaria. • Used in conjunction with MicrōBacter7, establishes and develops biological filtration by providing critical nutrients in specific forms and ratios. • Ethical and effective; encourages microbial proliferation without the use of poor nutrient sources, such as fish food (rich in refractory organic compounds) and so-called “starter fish”. • Indirectly benefits corals and other suspension-feeding…
High-capacity, regenerable adsorption resin effective in marine and freshwater aquaria. Dramatically improves water quality by removing dissolved organic material, toxic gasses,heavy metals, and other impurities. Helps control nutrient levels (including ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphate). Will not negatively impact water quality once exhausted. Regenerable over 250 times, significantly increasing cost effectiveness relative to activatedcarbon when comparing filtration capability.
Next-generation regenerable phosphate adsorption resin effective in marine aquaria; will also remove silicates. Far more effective than activated alumina and granular ferric products. Will not negatively impact water quality nor release phosphate or silicate once exhausted; will not break up or disintegrate like ferric medias, and contains no aluminum to dissolve in aquaria and harm inhabitants. Synthetic polymer resin beads…
Alkalinity-increasing (”buffer”) powdered blend formulated specifically for maintaining pH-stability in Rift Lake biotope aquaria and other systems housing fishes and plants endemic to environments with an alkaline pH. Not a re-packaged marine aquarium buffer. Helps increase pH stability in an aquarium by raising the alkalinity; continued addition raises pH to a range of 7.9 - 8.3. Formulated by a marine…
Directly and efficiently removes reactive phosphate from aquarium water. Also removes silicate and phosphate-based organic material from aquarium water, often resulting in improved water clarity (particularly in aquaria with heavy bioloads).
