Seachem Reef Plus

What is Seachem Reef Plus?

Reef Plus is a full spectrum reef supplement containing trace elements, vitamins, and amino acids demonstrated to have a positive impact on the growth of corals and other desirable reef creatures. This additive is formulated to provide nutrients available from natural tropical reef waters. It contains vitamin B12, vitamin C, thiamine, inositol, choline, iodide, and other essential constituents.

Reef Plus is nitrate/phosphate free, meaning it won't promote algae growth. It also contains necessary amino acids in addition to a full complement of trace minerals and high amounts of vitamin C and B complex vitamins. It is so concentrated that it can be effectively used as a food soak for frozen fish foods.

Why is it important to replenish trace elements in a reef tank?

Replenishment of a number of trace elements is required to maintain an environment ideal for the growth and reproduction of marine life, but while the importance of trace elements has been recognized by aquarists for many years, the physiological reasons are not fully understood.

The chemical elements in seawater are varied, and, likewise their addition to the aquarium in trace quantities has varied effects on a variety of saltwater plant and invertebrate species. In general, though, these elements are important for metabolic processes and pigment formation. Addition of iron, for instance, has been shown to benefit colouring and growth for corals, anemones, and other photosynthetic animals.

How do I use Seachem Reef Plus?

Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 80 L (20 US gallons) twice a week or as required to maintain coral growth. May also be used in food by mixing 1 mL in about 15 mL (1 tablespoon) of food. Refrigerate after opening.
