Rather than relying on a single two-part solution or calcium reactor alone, the Reef Foundation system gives you independent control over each parameter so you can dial in and hold the precise balance your corals need to build skeleton, maintain tissue integrity, and grow with consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach component works as part of a balanced system. Foundation A supplies calcium, Foundation B maintains alkalinity and carbonate levels, and Foundation C addresses magnesium — the often-overlooked parameter that underpins both calcium and alkalinity stability. Using all three together is what makes the system effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy we love it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent control over calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium without parameters pulling each other out of balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly concentrated formula — a little goes a long way, especially in smaller systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePredictable and clean — mixes clear and doses without clouding the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA natural starting point for reefers transitioning away from kalkwasser or two-part into a more structured dosing routine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with manual dosing or any standard dosing pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended daily dosage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDose per 100 L (25 gal) to raise each parameter by approximately 1 unit.
