Product Information

Full details

This guide is for reef aquarium hobbyists looking to maintain optimal magnesium levels for calcification and overall organism health. Aquavitro Reef Ions provides a highly concentrated, ammonia-free liquid magnesium supplement to efficiently restore depleted levels, preventing issues like depressed pH and calcium imbalances. A key benefit is its purity and high concentration, allowing for precise dosing. However, users must carefully monitor magnesium levels to avoid over-supplementation.

FAQs

What is the target magnesium level for a reef aquarium?

The generally recommended range for magnesium in a reef aquarium is between 1250 mg/L and 1350 mg/L.

How often should I test my magnesium levels?

It is recommended to test magnesium levels at least once a week, or more frequently when first establishing the correct level or after adding new livestock or corals.

Can I add Reef Ions directly to my protein skimmer collection cup?

No, it is best to dose directly into the main aquarium water with good flow, away from skimmers or filter intakes, to ensure proper distribution.

Is this product safe for fish-only tanks?

While magnesium is present in all marine environments, this product is specifically formulated and recommended for reef aquariums where calcification is a primary concern. For fish-only tanks, magnesium supplementation may not be necessary unless a deficiency is specifically identified.

What is the shelf life of Aquavitro Reef Ions?

The product typically has a shelf life of 2-3 years when stored properly in a cool, dry place with the cap sealed. Check the packaging for specific lot information.

How does this product differ from other liquid magnesium supplements?

Aquavitro Reef Ions is unique because it is the first and only liquid magnesium supplement that utilizes a proprietary process to achieve a high concentration (90,000 mg/L) without containing ammonia.

Troubleshooting

Magnesium levels not increasing as expected.

Ensure you are using a reliable test kit and that the dosage is appropriate for your aquarium volume and magnesium deficiency. Check for unusually high consumption rates due to a very high bioload or rapid coral growth. Verify that no other additives are interfering with magnesium uptake or measurement.

Sudden drop in pH after dosing.

You may have overdosed. Discontinue dosing immediately and perform a water change. Monitor pH and magnesium levels closely. Reduce future doses and increase frequency if necessary, always dosing slowly and incrementally.

Difficulty maintaining calcium levels.

Low magnesium can inhibit calcium uptake. Ensure magnesium is in the proper range (1250-1350 mg/L) before trying to adjust calcium. Once magnesium is stable, re-evaluate calcium levels and supplement accordingly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly concentrated formula reduces the amount of liquid needed for dosing.
  • Ammonia-free composition is safer for sensitive marine life.
  • Effectively restores depleted magnesium levels.
  • Contributes to stable pH and calcium levels in reef aquariums.
  • Essential for healthy coral growth and skeletal development.

Cons

  • Requires careful monitoring of magnesium levels to prevent over-dosing.
  • High concentration means accidental spills could impact water parameters significantly.
  • As with any supplement, potential for interaction with other water parameters exists if not dosed correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Aquavitro Reef Ions is a liquid supplement. It is typically added directly to the aquarium water. For best results, dose into an area with good water flow, away from sensitive corals or filter intakes.
