Component 3 in 1

Blend of micro and macroelements in 1 bottle. Easy to use and space-saving formula.

Component 3in1 is a comprehensive product of macro and micro elements, dedicated to marine aquariums, created based on the Balling method. The formula comprises highly concentrated calcium, magnesium, and KH in proportions that precisely align with the requirements of corals. Component 3 in 1 contains organic calcium salts, so it also works as a carbon source in marine aquariums.

Key ingredients necessary for maintaining the health and well-being of corals can be found in perfectly balanced proportions of magnesium, calcium and KH.

Component 3 in 1 provides essential macronutrients in a form that is easily assimilated by marine organisms. Additionally, it contains essential trace elements that play a key role in metabolic processes, coral growth, and maintaining intense coloration.

Thanks to its 3-in-1 formula, dispensing the product is very quick and easy. In addition, it eliminates the possibility of selecting the wrong proportions.

Component 3 in 1 is an organic formula designed to help stabilize the ecosystem in your reef aquarium. It serves as a source of organic carbon, making it a viable alternative for carbon dosing – supporting the growth of beneficial microorganisms. It may also indirectly contribute to lowering nutrient levels (NO3 and PO4), which is why we recommend regularly monitoring these parameters to maintain full control over water quality.

1 liter of the product contains 40000 mg (Ca), 1900 mg (Mg), 5800° (KH), and trace elements.

What’s great about this product?

  • Key contribution to coral growth
  • Improvement and maintenance of coral coloration
  • Speed and simplicity in dosing the product
  • Perfect balance between all macronutrients and trace elements

Recommended dosage: 5 ml per 100 l of aquarium water per day. Dosage should be adjusted according to the needs of the aquarium. Monitor the KH level and increase the dose if needed. The maximum daily dose is 25 ml per 100 liters.

Good to know: calcium diformate. Causes serious eye damage. If medical advice is needed, have a product container or label at hand. Keep it out of the reach of children. Wear protective gloves and eye protection. If in the eyes: rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses. Continue rinsing. Immediately call a doctor.

Collapsible content

LIGHT

LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.

MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height. 

HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.

FLOW

LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.

MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.

HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.

SKILL

ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.

While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
