Description
Component 1+2+3+ Concentrate is a modern and convenient solution for marine aquarists, based on the well-proven Balling method. This product allows for easy preparation of three essential solutions – Component 1+, 2+, and 3+ – necessary for maintaining proper chemical balance in a marine aquarium. Thanks to its concentrated formula, the product enables storage in smaller, lighter containers, saving space in your aquarium room.
Each 1-liter concentrate bottle allows for the preparation of 5 liters of each solution.
What makes Component 1+2+3+ Concentrate unique?
- Compact form:Â Small and lightweight containers help save space in your aquarium room and are easy to transport.
- Ease of preparation:Â Each concentrate easily dissolves in osmosis water, producing 5 liters of ready-to-use Component 1+, 2+, or 3+ solution.
- Ideal balance of micro and macro elements:Â This product provides all the essential micro and macro elements that corals need for healthy growth and vibrant colors.
Preparation:
Concentrate-1+ To prepare 5 liters of Component 1+:
- Shake thoroughly and pour Concentrate 1+ into a clean 5-liter container marked for 5 liters.
- Refill the empty concentrate bottle with osmosis water up to 1/3 of its volume, close the cap, and mix well.
- Pour into the 5-liter container.
- If there is any concentrate left in the bottle, repeat steps 2 and 3.
- Top up the 5-liter container with osmosis water to the 5-liter mark and mix thoroughly to achieve a uniform solution.
Concentrate-2+Â To prepare 5 liters of Component 2+:
- Shake thoroughly and pour Concentrate 2+ into a clean 5-liter container marked for 5 liters.
- Refill the empty concentrate bottle with warm osmosis water (ideal temperature: 40°C) up to 1/3 of its volume, close the cap, and mix well.
- Pour into the 5-liter container.
- If any concentrate or salt crystals remain in the bottle, repeat steps 2 and 3.
- Top up the 5-liter container with warm osmosis water to the 5-liter mark. Mix thoroughly until any remaining salt crystals dissolve, and the solution is uniform. Allow it to cool for about an hour. Sediment or crystallization may occur due to the high concentration of substances in the product; this is normal and does not affect the product’s quality.
Concentrate-3+Â To prepare 5 liters of Component 3+:
- Shake thoroughly and pour Concentrate 3+ into a clean 5-liter container marked for 5 liters.
- Refill the empty concentrate bottle with osmosis water up to 1/3 of its volume, close the cap, and mix well.
- Pour into the 5-liter container.
- If any concentrate remains in the bottle, repeat steps 2 and 3.
- Top up the 5-liter container with osmosis water to the 5-liter mark and mix thoroughly to achieve a uniform solution.
Dosage:
We recommend dosing all solutions in equal amounts, which should be determined and adjusted based on coral consumption. It is advisable to test the water’s key parameters: calcium, magnesium, and carbonate hardness (KH). If consumption of any component is higher, we recommend dissolving an additional solution (Calcium, Magnesium, or KH Buffer. To supplement deficiencies, you can also consider: KH Plus, Ca Plus, Mg Plus) and dosing it separately until the parameters are balanced.
For a tank moderately populated with hard corals, the dosage is approximately 25 ml daily per 100 liters of water. To maintain stable parameters, divide the daily dose into as many smaller doses as possible.
This product can be dosed without prior dilution; however, please remember that it is five times more concentrated than Component 1+2+3+. We recommend extreme caution when selecting the dosage. Sudden changes in parameters can be detrimental to the tank.
5 ml of products for 100l of water will raise:
Component 1+ Concentrate – 5 ml 4.5 ppm/100l (Ca)
Component 2+ Concentrate – 5 ml 0.65 dKH/100l (KH)
Component 3+ Concentrate – 5 ml 0.38 ppm/100l (Mg)
When the product is used without dilution, Concentrate 2 may produce a white, gelatinous residue after contact with water. This is completely natural and safe for aquatic organisms. To make it easier to dissolve, the outlet of the Concentrate 2 dosing pump should be placed in an area with high water flow.
Good to know:
Component 1+2+3+ Concentrate is intended for aquariums only. It is not suitable for consumption. Keep it out of the reach of children. Due to the high concentration of the product, we recommend regular maintenance of the dispensing lines.
