High-Purity Single Element Supplementation
Part of the completely revised ATI® ICP Elements lineup, this high-purity barium solution is designed for the precise adjustment of element levels in reef aquariums. Developed and tested in the ATI® Lab in Germany, these solutions are ideal for both compensating acute deficiencies and maintaining daily element supply to ensure a healthy, thriving reef environment.
Why Barium (Ba) is Essential
Barium is a trace element that, while needed in small amounts, is crucial for the biological development and structural integrity of many reef inhabitants.
-
Skeletal Formation: Barium is directly involved in the calcification process; low levels can have a negative impact on overall coral growth and skeleton formation.
-
Coloration: Deficiencies often manifest as bleaching or noticeably weaker coloration in both LPS and SPS corals.
-
Soft Coral Health: Essential for proper tissue formation and vitality in soft coral species.
-
Common Causes of Deficiency: Most frequently caused by low concentrations in standard salt mixes and an insufficient trace element supply to keep up with coral consumption.
