Red Sea 4Part RCP - major/minor trace elements (L pack/up to 600L)
Complete 4-part Supplement Program!
Optimal coral growth & coloration in non-refugium systems. Simplify your supplementing routine at no extra cost!
The new Complete Reef Care is based on Red Sea's 30 years of research into the needs of corals in artificial environments. It's a proven solution for optimal coral growth and coloration, providing you with a stunning and healthy tank. Complete Reef Care replenishes all 36 major, minor, and trace elements that get used up regularly by corals. These elements get used up in relatively predictable ratios, so Red Sea recommends testing calcium once per week to determine the dosages of all 4 parts.
Simple. Safe. Successful:
The new Complete Reef Care is a proven, 4-part program that ensures optimal coral growth and coloration by replenishing the water with all 36 Major, Minor and trace elements that get used up regularly by the reef (includingthe Alkalinity components). The complete Reef Care allows you 4 bottles, 1 calcium test per week and you´re done.
Fixed Ratio:
Long-term research has revealed that in reef systems without a refugium, the 36 Major, Minor and Trace elements and even the Alkalinity components are used up in a relatively fixed ratio, enabling you to supplement all element groups according to a measured Calcium uptake.
Simply dose by Calcium:
Since Calcium is the key indicator to coral growth, the 4-part program revolves around a single weekly measurement of Calcium, which determines the dosage of all 4 parts.
Coral Growth & Coloration:
Although all the elements found in natural seawater have an important role in providing the optimal water parameters, a few of them have a more significant role in the overall stability. These elements are the foundation of the reef environment, and they include the three 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).
Elevated Levels of Foundation Elements:
Elevated levels of the foundation elements create a higher saturation state inside the corals that induces faster aragonite formation making this process much more efficient (less energy required from the coral per gram of skeleton). Therefore, balanced elevated levels of the foundation elements will result in accelerated coral growth rates.
The Complete Reef Care divides the 36 Major, Minor and Trace elements into four parts:
- Part #1 contains: Calcium, Magnesium, Strontium & Barium.
- Part #2 contains: KH/Alkalinity components.
- Part #3 contains: Potassium, Boron and the halogens Iodine, Bromine and Fluorine.
- Part #4 contains: Iron, Manganese, Cobalt, Copper, Aluminum, Zinc, Chrome, Nickel plus 18 other bioactive trace elements
And here´s how it works:
- The four parts are formulated in an easy-to-implement ratio. So, if Part-1, which includes Calcium, is 5ml, Part-2 will be 10ml and Parts 3 and 4 will both be 2.5ml.
- Simply set the recommended dosages and adjust them as the calcium uptake changes over time.
- And once you connect the 4 parts to your ReefDose, your supplement routine will truly become as easy as you could ask for. When you adjust the daily dose of Part 1, ReefDose will automatically adjust the dosages of parts 2-4!
- To top it off, the four parts are provided in the same ratio that they are used up, so you finish all four parts at the same time, which of course, is super convenient.
Multiple Sizes Available:
- Small: Recommended for aquariums up to 150 Litres (approx. 3 month supply)
- Medium: Recommended for aquariums up to 300 Litres (approx. 3 month supply)
- Large: Recommended for aquariums up to 600 Litres (approx. 3 month supply)
Note: If your aquarium utilizes a macro algae refugium, Red Sea recommends using their 7-part Reef Foundation and Trace Colors system instead. This way, you can adjust individual trace elements to account for their unique uptake ratio by macro algae.
