Additives
Maintaining a stable and balanced environment is crucial for the health and well-being of marine organisms in a saltwater aquarium. Additives play a significant role in achieving and sustaining the proper water chemistry.
Magnesium is essential for the formation of calcium carbonate skeletons in corals and invertebrates, while also ensuring the ionic balance of the water. Calcium, a major component of coral and mollusk skeletons, requires regular supplementation as these organisms extract it from the water for skeletal maintenance. Maintaining optimal calcium levels is essential for the flourishing growth of calcifying organisms. Trace elements, including iron, iodine, and strontium, play a vital role in metabolic processes and overall health. Regular testing and supplementation of these elements ensure the well-being of corals, invertebrates, and fish.
Regular testing and supplementation of these elements ensure the well-being of corals, invertebrates, and fish.
Magnesium
Magnesium is essential for the formation of calcium carbonate skeletons in corals and invertebrates, while also ensuring the ionic balance of the water. Adequate magnesium levels prevent the precipitation of calcium carbonate, supporting stable calcium and alkalinity levels crucial for coral growth
Magnesium is closely linked to carbonate hardness (KH) and alkalinity. Adequate magnesium levels help stabilize and maintain proper KH levels, which in turn contributes to pH stability

Description
Description
A sufficient supply of strontium and carbon dioxide is as essential for the growth and well-being of reef-building corals as calcium. Both elements are supplied to the corals with the help of the zooxanthellae (algae) that live symbiotically within them. Bio-Strontium creates a natural environment in the aquarium and delivers strontium and carbon dioxide in a natural, biologically-available ionically balanced form
The growth of corals and calcareous algae goes hand in hand with strontium and calcium depletion, depletion of calcium normally means depletion of strontium as well. With the addition of Salifert’s Natural Strontium you can replenish these vital levels for the optimum results. Salifert use strontium sulfate in this blend, which is more effective and less toxic than the more common compound of strontium chloride. By recreating the natural balance found in sea water, your corals will thrive

Salifert Coralline Aminoacids 250ml
Salifert Coralline Aminoacids 1000ml
Tropic Marin Amino-Organic 250 ml
Description
Why are amino acids required? The skeletal material of corals is built-up with alternating layers of calcium carbonate and layers rich in amino acids. These amino acids fulfill many important functions. They stabilize the skeletal material avoiding the transformation into a totally different crystal structure, and they also decrease the negative effect of phosphate on coral growth. Furthermore amino acids serve as a food for most corals and beneficial bacteria. There is sufficient evidence that around coral reefs the desirable amino acids occur in the water itself and are deposited on freshly formed calcium carbonate
Calcium
Calcium is a critical element in a saltwater aquarium, especially in reef tanks where corals are present. It plays a fundamental role in various biological processes and is essential for the health and growth of marine organisms
Invertebrates use calcium for the formation and repair of exoskeletons and shells. Proper calcium levels support the overall physiological functions of marine organisms.

Elimi-NP is suitable for all saltwater aquariums with increased phosphate concentration and a low nitrate-phosphate ratio, as frequently observed in reef aquariums with a calcium reactor
Tropic Marin® Plus-NP provides these phosphates and nitrogen compounds in concentrations that are tailored to the corals’ needs. As they are bound by an organic energy source, nitrogen and phosphates can be utilized by corals more efficiently than inorganic nutritional salt additives. This approach minimizes the loss of nutrients caused by denitrification and adsorption, prevents nutrient deficiency in the corals and restores growth
Pale or brownish corals are often caused by too weak a concentration of easily digestible nitrogen compounds. Tropic Marin® Amino-Organic contains amino acids and other organic nitrogen compounds that stimulate the growth of soft and hard corals, as well as disc anemones and zoanthids. This results in greater absorption, by the anthozoans, of the phosphate available from the water, biologically reducing phosphate concentrations. These near-natural conditions result in the anthozoans opening better, visibly flourishing, with greater vitality and a more intense colouring. Tropic Marin® Amino-Organic does not contain nitrates or phosphates deficiency in the corals and restores growth

Quickly reduce the phosphate level in the tank. Tropic Marin® Elimi-Phos Longlife keeps its phosphate removing properties over an especially long period. In addition to the effective removal of phosphates,Tropic Marin® Elimi-Phos Longlife take the place of activated carbon and will improve the general water quality in the aquarium
Tropic Marin® Elimi-Phos Rapid is a highly-effective solution based on lanthanum which binds phosphates rapidly and eliminates it from the water. As a result, the phosphate concentration is efficiently reduced in next to no time to a range between 0.2–0.4 mg/l (ppm)
Bacteria
Adding and controlling beneficial bacteria in a saltwater aquarium is essential for establishing and maintaining a healthy biological filtration system.
When setting up a new saltwater aquarium, introduce live rock, live sand, or biological filtration media from an established tank. These materials carry beneficial bacteria that help kickstart the nitrogen cycle and establish a stable biological filtration system.
Using bacterial additives designed to boost beneficial bacteria populations in the aquarium is another option that helps the hobbyist. These products often contain strains of nitrifying bacteria that help convert ammonia and nitrite into less harmful nitrate.
Bacteria
In a saltwater aquarium, bacteria play critical roles in maintaining water quality and overall ecosystem health. Tropic Marin offers products like Nitribiotic and Reef Actif that are designed to support these bacterial populations and promote a balanced aquarium environment

The purple bacteria contained in Nitribiotic oxidises toxic hydrogen sulphide to non-toxic sulphur and sulphate. Probiotic bacteria and yeasts have a proven positive effect on the health and well-being of fish and shrimps, especially when breeding.
Description
Tropic Marin® Nitribiotic is a combination of probiotic and nitrifying bacteria in one preparation which strengthens the defences of the immune system of fish and shrimps and improves the water quality. The nitrifying bacteria efficiently start the nitrification process, i.e. the process of breaking toxic ammonia down into non-toxic nitrate. The purple bacteria contained in Nitribiotic oxidises toxic hydrogen sulphide to non-toxic sulphur and sulphate. Probiotic bacteria and yeasts have a proven positive effect on the health and well-being of fish and shrimps, especially when breeding
Tropic Marin Reef Actif performs a unique dual function as an adsorber and bacterial nutrient in saltwater aquariums. In doing this it assumes a central function as the link between inorganic nutrients and the biological population in the saltwater aquarium. Reef Actif is suspended in the aquarium water where it bonds with both nutrients and water contaminants making them available as nutrients to bacteria and other animals that feed on dissolved organic material in the saltwater.These bonded nutrients make Reef Actif even more valuable as a source of beneficial bacterial nutrition thus strongly promoting the reduction of water contaminants. Reef Actif consists of long-chain molecules which can only be digested by specific organisms. This reduction is always gradual and insures that there is never any dangerous oxygen loss in the aquarium as can occur with many other types of bacterial nutrients
Tropic Marin® Cyo-Control naturally blocks the recurrence of cyanobacteria in the aquarium. After the cyanobacteria have been removed manually, the probiotic bacteria of Tropic Marin® Cyo-Control settle in their place. Once these bacteria have established themselves, they outcompete the cyanobacteria, preventing them from recolonizing the area. The zeolite substrate supports the probiotic bacteria in this process and makes the water extremely clear after a short period of cloudiness.
New corals often introduce unwanted organisms, parasites and/or impurities into the aquarium, which can endanger the old coral population. Tropic Marin® Coral Clean reliably removes the most common epiphytes, parasites and impurities in an easy-to-use bath. The animals that fall off allow immediate monitoring of success that shows whether further baths are necessary. Tropic Marin® Coral Clean is phosphate-free and less aggressive than other forms of cleaning baths such as Lugol’s solution or fresh water

Test Kits
When testing water parameters in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, it’s essential to use high-quality test kits and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Regular testing and monitoring of water parameters help aquarium hobbyists to identify and address any issues promptly, ensuring the health and well-being of their aquatic inhabitants.
Understanding water parameters such as pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, and others allows aquarium hobbyists to monitor the health of their tank and make informed decisions regarding maintenance and adjustments. To conduct these tests accurately, reliable test kits specifically designed for aquarium use are essential.
Salifert Tests
Regular testing various parameters allows aquarium hobbyists to monitor water quality, identify any issues, and take appropriate corrective actions to ensure a healthy and thriving saltwater aquarium ecosystem
Product
Description
The test can be performed in about 90 seconds. Sharp color change. The test kit’s resolution is 15 ppm, combine that with the ease and the sharp color change, it gives a highly accurate potassium test kit
In a marine aquarium strontium plays an important role in accelerating the growth of coral and calcareous algae and natural sea water contains approx. 7 - 9 mg/L strontium. Strontium is very difficult to test for, but if there is found to be a depletion of calcium in the aquarium then strontium levels are likely to be very low as well
If phosphate is present in too high a concentration there may be an increase in growth of undesirable algae and if the phosphate level is higher than 0.04 mg/L the growth rate of corals and calcareous algae may decrease by as much as 90%
Iodine test kits should be capable of measuring all forms of naturally occurring iodine. The Salifert Test Kit is the only one offering this feature, measuring all naturally occurring iodine compounds and giving a reading of total iodine concentration much as 90%
Because of its unique formulation, the Salifert Test Kit does not suffer from amine interference, and offers full colour development within one minute. Also, the colour is very intense making the detection of even minute traces of nitrite easy
The nitrate concentration in a reef aquarium should be lower than 1 mg/L, although fish only aquariums would usually have a higher concentration. Just as with nitrite, many nitrate test kits are prone to amine interference which can make the levels of nitrate appear much lower than they actually are
In most reef tanks, this is depleted quickly, so level must be tested and restored routinely. This Calcium test kit is quick and easy to use and will give you an accurate result every time. The kit uses a colour changing method and measures in steps of 5mg/l, so offers a precise result, every time

Salifert KH & Alkalinity ProfiTest kit
Salifert pH ProfiTest kit
Boron ProfiTest kit
Magnesium ProfiTest kit
Description
The total carbonate and bicarbonate concentration is also called alkalinity or carbonate hardness and for a stable system the alkalinity should not fluctuate by more than 5% from the optimum level of approx. 2.8 meq/L i.e a maximum fluctuation of 0.14 meq/L
The Salifert Test Kit is sufficiently accurate to monitor minor pH fluctuations and is scaled from pH 7.4 - 8.7. The pH should not be allowed to fluctuate more than approx. 0.2 units during any 24 hour period and should preferably be kept above 8.2.
This test can measure boron in seawater from 0.5 up to approx. 40 ppm. While boron is present in seawater at relatively low concentrations, it plays vital roles in various biological processes
Magnesium is depleted by algae growth and also by the use of excessive kalkwasser or by going far beyond natural calcium, alkalinity and pH values.The Salifert Magnesium Profi-Test is easy to use and accurate with measurements in steps of 30 mg/L
Silicates are found in mains water, and can be transferred to your aquarium during water changes. They can cause algae growth and also block some vital trace elements. So the Salifert ProfiTest Kit is ideal to accurately test the water, quickly and easily
Corals and marine fish require very high levels of oxygen concentration because of the low solubility of oxygen in salt water so it is very important to regularly test the level of oxygen present. The Salifert Oxygen Profi-Test is extremely fast, measuring oxygen levels in just a few minutes and is scaled from 214 mg/L
Copper is often used as a treatment for parasite infested fish and it is essential that the correct concentration is used as too high levels can be toxic to marine fish and invertebrates. The Salifert test kit offers a very sensitive and accurate test for measuring dissolved or weakly chelated copper from 0.05mg/L to 2mg/L
Ammonia and ammonium should be rapidly converted by aerobic nitrification into nitrite and then nitrate and finally into nitrogen gas. If this does not happen then either the aquarium is not fully matured or there is a problem with the tank’s biological system, which can be caused by an excessive biological loading being placed on the system
