ATI Essentials Mixed Reef is a highly concentrated two part system for perfect growth, optimal metabolism, and distinctive coloration of corals in mixed reef aquariums. Based on our experience from tens of thousands of ICP laboratory analyses, the formula has been continuously optimized and refined over the years, providing you with a state-of-the-art two part system. Other features include:

• Supply of all major elements: boron, bromine, calcium, fluorine, potassium, alkalinity, magnesium, sulfur, strontium
• Basic supply of the following essential trace elements without accumulation: cobalt, iron, iodine, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, rubidium, selenium, vanadium, zinc
• #1 KH Complex is nitrate and phosphate reducing due to organic KH sources and is therefore ideal for mixed reef tanks with higher fish stocking without SPS dominance
• The concentrations are adjusted so that equal amounts of both solutions can be dosed
• Individual adaptation to the needs of your aquarium to achieve a natural water composition and to avoid ion shift
• Ready to use and approximately 5 times more concentrated than traditional Balling two part. No more tedious preparation required.

ATI Essentials Mixed Reef consists of the following two individual components:

#1 KH Complex

• Contains 38,500°dKH per 2,700ml (0.71gal) bottle (14,250°dKH/l)
• Contains the trace elements iron, iodine, selenium
• Contains the major elements fluorine and sulfur
• Has a nutrient-reducing effect

#2 Calcium Complex

• Contains 270,000mg calcium per 2,700ml (0.71gal) bottle (100,000mg Ca/l)
• Contains the trace elements cobalt, iron, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, rubidium, vanadium, zinc
• Contains the major elements boron, bromine, potassium, magnesium, strontium

Dosage:

• Dose equal or very similar amounts of both solutions
• Guideline per solution: 3-7ml per 100l (26gal) per day
• The dosage should replace the daily consumption of alkalinity and calcium
• You can determine the daily consumption by regularly alkalinity and calcium (e.g., via ATI Test Kits or ATI ICP Lab Analyses).

Please Note:

• Due to the high concentration, crystals may form in the bottle of #1 KH Complex at low temperatures
• The crystals disappear by heating the bottle in a warm water bath to approx. 45°C (115°F) or by placing it on a radiator
• For cold operating temperatures (<20°C/<68°F), we recommend diluting the product 1:1 with RO water. To ensure the dosage amounts of #1 and #2 remain the same, #2 should also be diluted 1:1 with RO water
