Red Sea's Reef Care Program - Recipes
The complete Reef Care program is the result of years of research into the physiological
demands of SPS, LPS & Soft Corals in the reef aquarium. Reef Care Recipes translates the
TM
many years of practical experience with Red Sea's Reef Care Program on tens of thousands
of diverse reef tanks worldwide into a simple to implement regimen of water management
activities specifically for the most common types of hobby reef aquariums.
Water management refers to all of the water related activities such as water changes,
testing and supplementing that needs to be done on a regular basis to ensure the success of
your reef aquarium. This is not just limited to maintaining the ideal balance of the seawater
but also deals with controlling nuisance algae and coral nutrition for their long term health
and vitality.
In addition to the Trace-Colors program, which is fully described below, the complete Reef
™
Care program also includes the following:
Foundation – Provides biologically balanced levels of the foundation elements (Calcium,
™ ™
Carbonates and Magnesium) that ensures the optimal water conditions for a sustainable,
vibrant coral reef.
Algae Management Program – Controlled nitrate & phosphate reduction that prevents
nuisance algae and provides the fine control of Zooxanthellae populations that significantly
affect coral growth rates and coloration.
Reef Energy – Provides the carbohydrates, vitamins, amino and fatty acids that fuel all
®
metabolic processes of corals.
For optimal results you should implement the complete program.
