The Component 3in1 dosage impact at 5 ml per 100 L of water results in an approximate increase of 2 mg/l of calcium and 0.095 mg/l of magnesium.

No, AF Air Scrubber sump placement is not recommended. The device is designed to filter air, not to be submerged or placed in water. Its base includes special moisture-absorbing components and ventilation openings that must remain dry to function correctly. Placing it in the sump would allow water to enter the unit and damage its internal structure. For optimal performance, it should be installed outside the sump in a dry, well-ventilated area.
Yes, NitraPhos Minus and Carbon can be used simultaneously. There are no contraindications to combining this product with activated carbon. However, it should be noted that Carbon may reduce the effectiveness of NitraPhos Minus due to its high adsorption capacity. NitraPhos Minus works by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria that help reduce nitrates and phosphates. If you are also using ozone, keep in mind its disinfecting properties, which can inhibit bacterial growth and thereby reduce the product’s effectiveness. The intensity of ozone use will be a key factor.
Yes, AF130 with deionization media is possible. Just make sure the internal sponge is fine enough to prevent the resin from escaping. If necessary, you can add extra filtration barriers such as filter floss or mesh filter bags for added security. This setup ensures the resin stays contained and the reactor operates efficiently.
The best salt for fish and corals that aren’t SPS depends on the aquarium’s setup. For fish-only tanks or systems with less demanding corals (like soft corals or LPS), Sea Salt is a great choice — it provides stable parameters for general use. For more demanding reef systems, consider Reef Salt, which contains additional trace elements to support coral health and growth.
The potassium type in K Boost is potassium sulfate. This form is highly soluble, making it ideal for correcting potassium deficiencies without disturbing other water parameters. AF K Boost is formulated for efficient and targeted supplementation in freshwater aquariums.
Yes, Phosphate Minus KH drop is a known side effect. Phosphate Minus is a filtration medium that selectively binds phosphates from the water. However, its use may slightly influence KH (carbonate hardness) due to its chemical activity. Drops in magnesium and calcium are typically unrelated, but they may appear due to other factors like biological consumption or testing variations. Regular monitoring and balanced dosing will help maintain stable parameters.
Yes, frozen Components Strong use is generally safe. Freezing may cause slight precipitation or cloudiness in the solution, but this is not harmful. While the product remains usable, it’s possible that the concentration of certain elements may be marginally reduced. Shake well before use and monitor your tank’s parameters for best results.
