Formulation highlights for reef tanks

• Formulated specifically for reef aquariums: contains essential ocean reef elements in concentrations greater than those found in natural seawater.

• Extra vitamins: supports growth and survival of corals, anemones, and other invertebrates in a captive environment.
• Detoxifies metals: neutralizes traces of heavy metals often present in tap water.

How to use and practical notes

• Mixing guidance: 1/2 cup per gallon of dechlorinated water, stirred vigorously to ensure a thorough dissolve.
• Once mixed, use immediately or aerate the water until it reaches oxygen/carbon dioxide equilibrium.

Real‑world use cases
