Modern Reef Reef-Keeping System (RKS) 4-Part Complete
- Unit price
- /per
All-in-one reef keeping made simple. This 4-part system delivers essential trace elements found in natural seawater, organic and inorganic micronutrients, and amino acids in one convenient set—everything needed to maintain a thriving, colorful modern reef aquarium. Built on a unique proportional consumption formula used by Akil from Euro Corals, it balances KH (carbonate hardness) and Ca (calcium) so corals grow faster, color up, and stay stable with minimal testing.
- Enhances challenging yellow and orange pigments, plus vivid reds, pinks, blues, and purples—especially in Acropora polyps and bodies
- Stimulates non-fluorescent chromoproteins and optimizes fluorescent/reflective pigments under blue-spectrum lighting
- Improves water clarity by supporting sponges and sea squirts
- No constant magnesium or calcium testing—focus on KH
- Free of Nitrates (no3) and Phosphates (po4)
- Adapts to any reef setup and nutrient export method via proportional dosing
Concentration:
10ml × 100 liters will raise 1 dKH
Preparation & Dosing:
Ready-to-use, 4 equal parts liquid. Dose by hand or, ideally, with a calibrated 4-head dosing pump (SPS-dominant systems especially benefit). If using 3 heads, combine equal parts of KH1 and KH2 in one container and multiply that combined dose by 2. Keep tubing lengths equal, calibrate pumps every 6 months, dose equal parts with 10–15 minutes between heads (KH1 → CAL → KH2 → MAG), and spread daily dosing into multiple events.
Dosage: Dose equal parts to keep KH between 7.2–8.5 dKH; calcium will track proportionally. For the first 2 weeks, dose equal parts to keep calcium stable at 380–420 ppm, then fine-tune to find your ideal KH. Example: if calcium trends down at KH 7.5, slightly raise dosing to hold ~7.7 and recheck; if calcium trends up
at KH 8, slightly lower dosing to hold ~7.8. No shaking or magnetic stirrer required.
Refill-Friendly Preparation (for canister make-up):
- Use a clean 5-liter canister with a clear 5-liter mark
- Warm osmosis water (35–40°C) speeds dissolving for KH1-R and KH2-R; rinse bottles 2–3 times
- For CAL-R1 & CAL-R2, add both to the same canister and fill to the 5-liter mark
- For MAG-R, fill to the 5-liter mark with osmosis water
- Mix 30 seconds; let sit 1 hour before use
Precaution:
Avoid additional amino acids or mixed trace products—everything is already included by proportional consumption (except solid food). Store in the dark, away from direct light. Refrigeration is not required; keep in a cool place.
4 x 5L Preparation Mix Instructions
Directions
BASE KH1-R:
- Shake vigorously and empty all the content of BASE KH1-R in a 5-liter clean and empty canister with a 5-liter guide mark. The 5-liter guide mark is important!
- Fill 25% of the BASE KH1-R bottle with warm osmosis water, close the cap and shake vigorously, then empty it into the 5-liter canister. Repeat 2-3 times till no salt is left in the BASE KH1-R bottle.
- Heat sufficient osmosis water using a microwave to fill the canister precisely till the 5-liter mark. The ideal temperature for the total preparation should be between 35-40°C for easy dissolving.
- Close the canister and mix for 30 seconds. Repeat if it’s needed till it’s completely dissolved.
- Let it sit to cool for 1 hour, and you can start using it.
Directions BASE KH2-R:
- Shake vigorously and empty all the content of BASE KH2-R in a 5-liter clean and empty canister with a 5-liter guide mark. The 5-liter guide mark is important!
- Fill 25% of the BASE KH2-R bottle with warm osmosis water, close the cap and shake vigorously, then empty it into the 5-liter canister. Repeat 2-3 times till no salt is left in the BASE KH2-R bottle.
- Heat sufficient osmosis water using a microwave to fill the canister precisely till the 5-liter mark. The ideal temperature for the total preparation should be between 35-40°C for easy dissolving.
- Close the canister and mix for 30 seconds. Repeat if it’s needed till it’s completely dissolved.
- Let it sit to cool for 1 hour, and you can start using it.
Directions BASE CAL-R1 & BASE CAL-R2:
- Shake vigorously and empty all the content of BASE CAL-R1 & BASE CAL-R2 in the same 5-liter clean and empty canister with a 5-liter guide mark. The 5-liter guide mark is important!
- Fill 25% of the BASE CAL-R1 & BASE CAL-R2 bottles with osmosis water, close the caps and shake vigorously, then empty them into the 5-liter canister.
- Add osmosis water to fill the canister precisely till the 5-liter mark.
- Close the canister and mix for 30 seconds. Repeat if it’s needed till it’s completely dissolved.
- Let it sit for 1 hour, and you can start using it.
Directions BASE MAG-R:
- Shake vigorously and empty all the content of BASE MAG-R in a 5-liter clean and empty canister with a 5-liter guide mark. The 5-liter guide mark is important!
- Fill 25% of the BASE MAG-R bottle with osmosis water, close the cap and shake vigorously, then empty it into the 5-liter canister.
- Add osmosis water to fill the canister precisely till the 5-liter mark.
- Close the canister and mix for 30 seconds. Repeat if it’s needed till it’s completely dissolved.

Reassuring to use an operator with tracked named-day delivery, exactly what you want when dealing with glass aquariums. Great range, great prices.

24hr delivery of a pallet, for a complete marine aquarium. And two days before Christmas. No picking errors, best pricing and then great service with hour slot from UPN Pallet Network. Impressive!
Steve Lesson
Super happy with the tank, no issues whatsoever. The delivery was super fast too. (On the day of the delivery the delivery driver was absolutely amazing btw) Honestly cannot recommend enough 👌

Nice searchable website, plenty of stock, reasonably priced next day delivery, well packaged. Slightly more detail would have been nice as I bought 32mm thinking that was the external diameter but I suspect most people buying these items would know that. :)

This was actually my first time ordering something from them wasn’t sure on how long I would get it said two days, but literally I ordered it and it came the next day. Packaging was amazing. Didn’t even pay next day delivery and I got the next day If you’re reading my review, give them a try. They don’t disappoint.

Such a great service. Bought a fish tank Ciano emotions 150 Pro and it's arrived very well packed just 2 days after purchase. After 2 weeks i had an issue with light power supply which has been replaced straight away after I reported that to customer service. They look afyer customers and always replied very quickly if you have any problem. Strongly recommended!!!

Just received another delivery from Charterhouse aquatics, this time salt and frozen food: best price, all info I needed and free delivery that is quick and quality. Keep up the good work. And I love the reward scheme too!
