Salifert Coral Grower 500ml - 6019
Salifert Coral Grower contains Calcium, Strontium and Trace Elements (except Iodine) require for growth and multiplication by corals and beautiful encrusting pink and red coralline algae. Calcium and Strontium are the major cationic constituents of calcareous algae, skeletal material of hard corals and the skeletal needles of soft/leather corals. Growth and multiplication of these organisms means depletion of those substances.
The trace elements included in Coral Grower allow organisms to carry out many biological processes. Manganese for instance is essential for the many biochemical reactions which make photosynthesis possible. Iron allow several organisms to absorb nutrients. Cobalt is essential for the formation of several coral pigments. Zinc is, like manganese, essential for photosynthesis and is also used in the formation of calcium carbonate by corals. These are just a few of he trace elements present in Coral Grower.
This supplement is highly concentrated and contains for example 80 000 ppm calcium and 1 600 ppm strontium. To avoid an ionic imbalance, Salifert properly balance the calcium and strontium with ions such as sulphate, chloride, bromide, sodium and magnesium.
Directions:
