High-Purity Single Element Supplementation
Part of the completely revised ATI® ICP Elements lineup, this high-purity fluorine 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 vibrant coral coloration and structural integrity.
Why Fluorine (F) is Essential
Fluorine is a critical trace element that directly impacts the aesthetic beauty and physical strength of coral reefs.
-
Color & Gloss: Fluorine is essential for the vivid coloration and natural "gloss" of many corals, particularly Goniopora and Acropora species. Deficiencies often manifest as pale or dull tissue.
-
Skeletal Strength: Corals incorporate fluorine into their skeletons as a calcium fluoride complex. Without sufficient levels, the coral skeletons can become brittle and prone to damage.
-
Biological Function: Fluorine supports various metabolic pathways necessary for long-term coral health.
-
Common Causes of Deficiency: Strong growth of stony corals, insufficient concentrations in salt mixes, or the removal of trace elements through aggressive protein skimming and the use of chemical adsorbers like activated carbon.
