Our Coral Essentials – Boron Solution is a concentrated liquid boron additive, 50,000 ppm (mg/L). Boron in natural sea water is in the order of 4-5ppm. Boron is a component in the formation of coral skeletons, co-precipitating with calcium carbonate. Boron also assists slightly in pH buffering of aquarium water. For the advanced aquarist boron levels in marine tanks should be checked regularly to determine the take up in your system. Calculate boron usage by testing regularly, then simply calculate dosing requirements to suit the depletion rate. Then continue a check of the levels every week or two.

Dosage rate: We recommend starting off dosing 1 drops/day for each 100L of tank water and increase steadily to 2 drops/day over a period of a month or so. Do not dose higher than 3 drops/day for each 100L of water for a heavily stocked system Manual Dosing Tables.

For the advanced aquarist, 0.1ml (2 drops) will raise the Boron levels by 0.05 ppm (mg/L) for each 100L of tank water. If you know the Boron depletion rate then dose accordingly Dosing By Usage.

Marine aquarists have known for many years the essential requirement to have a rigorous supplementation program. It provides your marine aquarium corals the minerals and vitamin supplements they need for healthy and strong growth, great colouration and vitality. There are many solutions on the market based on, Randy's Mix, 2 Part, 3 Part, The Balling Method and all the variations.

At Sustainable Reefs our Coral Essentials Method is based on the techniques we've adopted from thorough experimentation and extensive experience growing coral in marine aquarium environments, from small aquariums to large scale commercial aquaculture facilities. This experience, and the knowledge gained from many hours experimenting and trying a multitude of different supplement regiments, has resulted in fine tuning the products we believe are the best for a closed system marine environment. Results speak for themselves and we have been producing the best commercially aquacultured SPS coral in Australia and around the world.

While many manufacturers of marine aquarium supplements have tried to make things simple by premixing the various Calcium, Carbonate and Magnesium solutions with certain trace elements mixes we believe it is better to have full control over these essential additional elements. We have kept it simple for newcomers, and also allowed total control for the experienced aquarists, with a concise range of products to ensure your marine aquarium is the best it can possibly be.
