The Components Pro formula was created by qualified specialists based on many years of experience. Regularly dosed fluids provide adequate levels of carbonate hardness, magnesium and calcium (KH 6.5-8.5, Ca 380-460 ppm, Mg 1180-1460 ppm).
Dosage:
All the fluids should be dosed equally based on Ca, KH and Mg consumption. Regularly test your water and establish the optimal dose basied on analysis results. With average SPS corals stock, the recommended Components Pro dose is 12 ml per 100 liters of water daily. When water parameters aren’t in the recommended range use one of the Aquaforest Lab additives (Ca Plus, Mg Plus, KH Plus) until reaching the desired levels.
Component 1 Pro contains: Ca, Sr, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr, Co, Mo (25 ml / 100 l raises Ca by 9 ppm).
Component 2 Pro contains: HCO3-, F, I (25 ml / 100 l raises KH by 1.3 dKH – Alk 0.46 meq / l).
Component 3 Pro contains: mineral salts, Mg, S, K, B, Sr, Li (25 ml / 100 l increases Mg by 0.76 ppm).
Due to the high concentration of the product, we recommend regular maintenance of dosing lines.

Good to know
Due to the high product concentration, a white, gelatinous precipitate may appear after Component 2 Pro contacts the water. This is completely natural and safe for the aquatic life. In order to facilitate the dissolution of it, the Component 2 Pro dosing pump outlet should be placed in a high water flow. It’s best for your corals to split the daily dose into as many small doses as it’s possible
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.
