Aquavitro Reef Ions
Aquavitro Reef Ions is a concentrated liquid magnesium supplement for marine reef aquariums, formulated to restore and maintain magnesium for healthy coral and reef-organism calcification. Made by Seachem’s aquavitro range, it provides fully dissolved magnesium without adding ammonia.
Key Benefits
- Delivers 90,000 mg/L of fully dissolved magnesium for reef aquarium supplementation.
- Supports calcification in corals and other reef organisms, where magnesium is used alongside calcium and strontium in skeletal growth.
- Helps support beneficial marine life including coralline algae, bacteria and fish.
- Contains strontium and boron in the natural seawater ratio of 1.7:1 to help avoid ionic imbalance during long-term magnesium dosing.
- Uses a proprietary process to remove ammonia, making it the first and only liquid magnesium supplement formulated without ammonia.
When to Use
Test magnesium regularly with a reliable marine magnesium test kit. Magnesium below 800 mg/L may contribute to depressed pH and difficulty maintaining appropriate calcium levels. The recommended target range is 1200-1350 mg/L.
Dosage
- Beginner dosing: Add 5 mL per 90 L of aquarium water twice weekly. Test magnesium weekly and adjust the dose or frequency as required.
- Advanced dosing: Use 5 mL per 90 L to raise magnesium by approximately 5 mg/L. Continue dosing until the aquarium reaches 1200-1350 mg/L.
- Do not exceed 25 mL per 90 L per day.
- Each inner cap thread measures approximately 1 mL.
Suitable For
Ideal for saltwater reef tanks containing corals, coralline algae and other calcifying marine organisms. Aquavitro Reef Ions can be dosed daily and may be used within minutes of other aquavitro reef supplements.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much will Aquavitro Reef Ions raise magnesium?
Each 5 mL dose per 90 L raises magnesium by approximately 5 mg/L.
What magnesium level should I aim for in a reef aquarium?
Maintain magnesium between 1200-1350 mg/L, adjusting dosing according to regular test results.
Can I dose Aquavitro Reef Ions every day?
Yes. It can be dosed daily where needed, provided you do not exceed 25 mL per 90 L per day.
Why is my magnesium increasing slowly?
A standard dose raises magnesium by only about 5 mg/L per 90 L. Severely depleted systems require repeated dosing over time to correct a large deficiency safely.
Does this magnesium supplement add ammonia to my marine aquarium?
No. Aquavitro Reef Ions uses a proprietary purification process to provide magnesium without adding ammonia.
Will the added strontium build up in my reef tank?
Strontium utilisation generally does not exceed magnesium utilisation. Normal water changes provide an additional safeguard if levels become elevated.
