In addition to calcium and strontium, some corals and calcareous red algae also store magnesium in their skeleton. Biochemically, it is directly involved in the photosynthesis of algae, i.e. the conversion of carbon dioxide and light into organic compounds. Magnesium is therefore one of the most important minerals in seawater.
Tropic Marin® Bio-Magnesium supplies magnesium and carbon dioxide in a form that is optimally biologically usable, so that a magnesium deficiency in seawater is prevented and the natural concentration ratio between the alkaline earth metals is restored. These are basic requirements for a healthy coral reef in the aquarium.
– for the biologically ideal supply of magnesium in crystalline form in the reef aquarium
– supplies magnesium for strong skeletal growth of corals and calcareous red algae
– supplies carbon dioxide for the zooxanthellae to support photosynthesis and calcareous skeleton structure
– The natural ionic composition and pH value of the water are not changed
– without unnatural by-products
– without phosphates and nitrates
– precise dosing and easiest application
Natural seawater has an average magnesium content of 1.280-1.300 mg/l. First measure the magnesium concentration of your aquarium water and estimate the water volume of your tank taking into account the decoration (stones, etc.).

powder
The addition of one measuring spoon of Tropic Marin® Bio-Magnesium increases the magnesium content by approx. 10 mg/l per 100 l of water.
Recommended maximum dose: 2 measuring spoons per 100 liters of aquarium water per day.
?
To use, fill the measuring spoon with Tropic Marin® organic magnesium (use a scraper). Sprinkle the contents of the measuring spoon well onto the surface of the water while stirring. Make sure that no larger, undissolved Tropic Marin® organic magnesium crystals come into direct contact with the corals. To avoid the water becoming cloudy, only add the next spoonful once the previous one has dissolved. Concentrations of over 1.600 mg/l magnesium should be avoided as various organisms may react negatively to extremely high magnesium levels.
Over time, the density of the water may increase slightly. Please check the density regularly. In addition to the magnesium concentration, the calcium content should also be monitored.
