If your goal is to maximize coral growth, Coral Pro can be combined with Red Sea reef care products to accelerate coral growth up to four times its natural rate. Coral Pro's alkalinity of 12 dKH makes it ideal for coral-rich tanks.
Moreover, thanks to its higher solubility resulting from years of research and testing, preparing the brine takes only a few minutes.
Natural seawater contains over 70 elements. Most of them affect water parameters, but only a few play a significant role in its overall chemical stability. These elements form the foundation of the reef environment and include three main elements: calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonates.
These three "basic elements" have a major impact on the pH stability, alkalinity, ionic strength of seawater, and many biological processes of corals (skeletal formation, ion exchange, photosynthesis).
Unlike a natural reef environment, where the number of foundational elements is infinite, a reef aquarium has limited resources that are quickly consumed by the aquarium inhabitants. Therefore, to enable sustainable coral growth, it is necessary to maintain higher than natural levels of foundational elements.
Research conducted at the Red Sea Laboratory has shown that increasing the level of foundation elements above the levels found in natural seawater, in a very specific ratio, will stimulate coral growth and result in proper coral skeleton growth.
