Red Sea Reef Foundation Supplements Pack A+b+c 250ml

The Reef Foundation Complete Liquid Supplement Pack contains 250ml bottles of:
• Foundation A (calcium, strontium & barium)
• Foundation B (alkalinity buffer)
• Foundation C (magnesium)

Foundation elements include the 3 major elements: calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and bi-carbonates (HCO3). These 3 elements have a major effect on the water chemistry (pH stability, alkalinity, sea water ionic strength) and on many of the coral’s biological processes (skeleton formation, ions exchange, photosynthesis).

If the foundation elements are not available in the correct ratios, one of them will become the limiting factor of healthy coral growth.
In unbalanced conditions such as low levels of Mg and/or Sr the skeleton will develop a higher proportion of calcite making it more brittle and more susceptible to damage.

Corals invest energy in transporting the foundation and other elements necessary
for skeletogenisis from the surrounding water through their soft tissue.
Elevated levels of the foundation elements create a more positive ionic pressure enabling passive diffusion of the elements through the soft tissue making this process much more efficient (less energy required per gram of skeleton).
Therefore balanced elevated levels of the foundation elements will result in accelerated coral growth rates (as is seen using Coral Pro Salt).
