It is advisable to test the water’s key parameters: calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity. If consumption of any component is higher, it is recommended to use an additional solution (Calcium, Magnesium, or KH Buffer). To supplement deficiencies, you can also consider: KH Plus, Ca Plus, Mg Plus) and dosing it separately until the parameters are balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a tank moderately populated with hard corals, the dosage is approximately 25 ml daily per 100 liters of water. To maintain stable parameters, divide the daily dose into as many smaller doses as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: This product may be dosed without prior dilution; however, it is five times more concentrated than standard Component 1+2+3+. If dosing undiluted, use a dosing pump to divide the total daily amount into multiple small doses spread throughout the day to prevent sudden water chemistry changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen added to 100 liters (26 gallons) of water, 5 mL of each component increases:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComponent 1+ Concentrate: Calcium by 4.5 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComponent 2+ Concentrate: Alkalinity by 0.65 dKH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComponent 3+ Concentrate: Magnesium by 0.38 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the product is used without dilution, Component 2+ may produce a white, gelatinous residue after contact with water.
