Important! ONE-4Reef may significantly reduce nutrients due to the bacterial activity produced by organic dosing, leading to pale coloration and stagnation of the reef aquarium. Therefore, we recommend monitoring NO3 and PO4 and dose Modern Reef N+ and P+ if needed, especially in low nutrient reef aquariums. ONE-4Reef should also be considered a form of carbon dosing too! So keep this in mind and reduce or stop your carbon dosing (as Modern Reef C+) when using ONE-4Reef.
Benefits:
- All-in-one canister to supply all the reef aquarium needs (Complete Reef Food and Polypop are still needed)
- No accumulation of by-products like sodium or chloride
- Suitable for all LPS dominant, SPS dominant, soft, or mixed reef aquarium
- Improvement in color and growth compared to other organic Balling methods
- More resistant reef aquarium environment against cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates
- Maximum polyp extension on all corals
- Helps clean rocks and sand
- Assists to maintain clear water
- Reduces excess nutrients like NO3 and PO4
- Suitable for manual or automatic dosing
- Space-saving with one canister and one pump when used alone
- Can be used as a "saving-mode" application for reef aquarium systems with balling or calcium reactors
- Modern Reef proportional consumption unique formula in organic form
- Alone as a base reef keeping system
- With the Modern Reef RKS (Reef Keeping System) as "saving-mode"
- In reef aquariums with calcium reactors
If you prefer organic dosing and a formate form of Balling to keep your reef aquarium, then you can use ONE-4Reef alone. Start by dosing 4 ml of ONE-4Reef per 100 liters. Then, increase by 2 ml per 100 liters each 2-4 days till you keep constant KH and calcium and find your maintenance dosage. Teste KH and calcium regularly and use Calcium as the dosage regulator. This is because the KH level provided by ONE-4Reef (as all types of organic Balling) may take up to 2 days to begin to show in a KH test kit. Don't exceed 20 ml per 100 liters per day, and don't forget to apply Modern Reef Complete Reef Food and Polypop to complete the proportional consumption system.If your reef aquarium is big and you don't want to refill constantly, you can divide the dosage and connect as many canisters and dosing pumps as you want. For example, if you dose 400 ml a day of ONE-4Reef, you can connect 4 canisters to 4 dosing pumps and dose 100 ml each a day. It will last long until you change the canisters or refill them. Just keep in mind to multiply the total amount dosed when you apply Modern Reef Complete Reef Food and Polypop.
The ONE-4Reef can be used with Modern Reef - RKS - (Reef Keeping System) as a "Saving-mode" application and to benefit more from the organic and inorganic Balling dosing like:
- Maximum color and growth of all corals, especially SPS
- Extreme polyp extension on all corals especially Acropora
- Less accumulation of by-products like sodium or chloride
- Cleaner rocks and sand
- Clearer water
- Reduces excess nutrients like NO3 and PO4
- Saving with the consumption of RKS dosage (up to 20% in cost vs cost)
- More resistant reef aquarium environment against cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates
- RKS at 75% and ONE-4Reef at 25%
- RKS at 50% and ONE-4Reef at 50%
ONE-4Reef can be used in reef aquariums with calcium reactors. It is the same as using ONE-4Reef alone as a base reef keeping system, but in this case, you need to reduce the calcium reactor capacity by 50%. Once you reduce the calcium reactor capacity to 50%, start by daily dosing 2 ml per 100 liters. Then adjust the dosage by 1 ml daily per 100 liters until you keep constant KH and calcium between 7.2-8.5 dKH and 390-440 mg/l calcium. Here you have some of the benefits of using ONE-4Reef in a reef aquarium system with a calcium reactor:
- Improvement color and growth of all corals especially SPS
- Better polyp extension on all corals especially Acropora
- Less CO2 usage by the calcium reactor that will improve pH fluctuation
- Cleaner rocks and sand
- Clearer water
- Calcium reactor maintenance will last longer
- Constant supplementation of some elements consumed by bacteria in the calcium reactor
- Reduces excess nutrients like NO3 and PO4
- More resistant reef aquarium environment against cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates
- Application of the Modern Reef proportional consumption reef keeping system
- Allows better calculation for Modern Reef Complete Reef Food and Polypop
