What is Aquavitro Reef Ions?

Aquavitro Reef Ions is a magnesium supplement designed to raise and restore magnesium levels in saltwater aquariums. Like calcium and strontium, magnesium is used in the calcification of skeletons of reef organisms. In many cases, magnesium is used in place of calcium for calcification. In addition to its role in calcification, magnesium is used by organisms ranging from bacteria to coralline algae to fish.

How do I know when magnesium levels are low?

There are a couple of indications; severely depleted levels of magnesium (below 800 mg/L) can cause depressed pH levels and an inability to maintain proper calcium levels. The best way to tell if you need a magnesium supplement, though, is to test for it using a magnesium test kit. If you’ve determined that your magnesium levels are low, supplement with Reef Ions.

Reef Ions stores magnesium by employing the most concentrated (90,000 mg/L), fully dissolved magnesium and does so without adding any ammonia. Other liquid magnesium supplements inherently contain ammonia because the magnesium chloride used in their production contains ammonia. This is a result of the mechanisms for deriving and/or producing magnesium chloride. Aquavitro has gone to considerable lengths to remove this contaminant.

Using a fully dissolved magnesium is critical. Some magnesium supplements use a magnesium source that is simply not soluble. This means it can never be utilised by reef organisms, and is, consequently, of no value. If the product itself is milky white or the instructions direct the user to shake well, more than likely, a substantial amount of magnesium is not being utilized (the same is true of calcium products). Reef Ions also includes strontium and boron in the NSW ratio of 1.7:1 to avoid ionic imbalance with long term use.

How do I use Aquavitro Reef Ions?

Aquavitro Reef Ions is incredibly easy to use. To dose, simply add 5ml for every 90L of water twice a week. Check magnesium levels once a week and adjust the amount or frequency accordingly. Note: each inner cap thread is approximately 1ml. Unlike competing products that require multi-day interval dosing, Reef Ions can be dosed daily and within minutes of the entire Aquavitro line.
