Iodine Plus Not just Potassium Iodide like many other supplements. The NatuReef® formulation contains the forms of Iodine that are found in natural seawater. Your inverts will love it! Also, along with Iodine we provide a bonus of calcium. Your corals will really love that! That’s not all. For the more sophisticated filter feeders such as tunicates, sponges, etc. we’ve included a little Boron, Molybdenum and Vanadium. So they also love it. It's not just Iodine. It’s Iodine Plus. An absolute must for every serious marine enthusiast. It's available in both 16 and 32 ounce (473 and 946ml) bottles. Iodine Plus may be added manually or with a precision NatuReef® dosing system described under trace feeders.

Iron Plus The NatuReef® Iron formulation is not gummed up with a bunch of organic materials. Instead, it allows the Iron to be used in the free form or be naturally bound by the organics in your tank. No extraneous junk added. The PLUS means that we included a number of minor growth substances, such as Cobalt and Manganese, along with the Iron. These are the things that can put photosynthesis in high gear. If you want to grow green macro algae or are cultivating phytoplankton, Iron Plus is absolutely the natural thing to use. It is available in both 16 and 32 ounce (473 and 946ml) bottles. Iron Plus may be added manually or with a precision NatuReef® dosing system described under Trace Feeders.Click here for additional information on Iron Plus

LIFO - Lipids-Fatty Acids-Oil Soluble Vitamins A small amount goes a long way, but some fats, oils and oily vitamins are required for growth. We’ve included those substances that generally can’t be synthesized, so they are essential. "My Ricordea absolutely loves it," that’s one comment about NatuReef®’s LIFO. Don’t panic if the froth in your skimmer collapses when you add LIFO to the tank. That’s a natural thing. Things will return to normal in a short time. LIFO is available in 1/2 ounce bottles.

Y2K Zyme - A powerful proteolytic digestive enzyme.  This  new solution prevents the build up of organic material in the gravel and nooks and crannies of live rocks.  Each ounce has Super Catalytic Punch to disintegrate more than a pound of protein like gunk that accumulates in every crevice and corner of your tank. By eliminating the gunk it prevents the formation of noxious sulfur and carbon compounds that suppress natural seawater's oxidative potential.  It greatly lowers the chemical oxygen demand (COD) that robs your water of oxygen. Because of its tremendous working capacity, it can be used to clean up old systems, aid in cycling new tanks and is especially beneficial during curing of live rock.  K Zyme helps keep your tank sparkling clean.  K Zyme is available in 16 oz and 32 oz bottles. Use the spray bottle to spray directly on biomedia and rotating biological filters.

Iron Plus addition information...

Algae and most likely all symbiotic zooxanthellae that live within corals, sponges, anemones, clams etc. have a requirement for Iron along with other micro growth substances. The Iron Plus formulation provides an unchelated form of Iron, since we feel that chelation (binding of the Iron within an organic matrix) may give an unfair advantage to microalgae that is able to metabolize the organic Iron complex. Also, since the iron used is at its highest oxidation state a temporary rise in redox may be observed following its use. The other growth substances are Manganese, Cobalt, Copper and Zinc. The formulation is pH stabilized to maintain the elements in the ionic form and the concentrations of chemicals are proportioned to the concentration of iron in natural seawater. Although trace metals such as Copper are toxic to some invertebrates, this formulation contains only microquantities essential for metabolism at levels far below toxicity. As with most trace additives, their residence time in the water depends upon the biomass using them, the filtration extracting them and the water conditions that may bind them. Therefore, if trace additives are used on a regular basis it is prudent to perform periodic checks for accumulation or deficiency. A low or high limit should be established. For Iron these limits may be 0.01 to 0.05.

LIFO additional info.- Lipids-Fatty Acids-Oil Soluble Vitamins
These substances, especially the omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) are all essential tissue building materials. Unfortunately, in highly filtered systems these substances are quickly oxidized or stripped from the water. Their residence time may only be hours. An indication of the lack of fatty acids is the accumulation of water insoluble organics that rise to the surface of the water. Quite often one drop of LIFO on the surface disperses these organics. The tiny fat globules formed are readily stripped. Since the addition of LIFO effectively reduces the surface tension there will be a temporary collapse of froth in protein skimmer columns.
