How to Start Using Coral EssentialsOne of the most common questions we receive at Coral Essentials is, "How do I start using your marine aquarium supplements range?". It's simple to answer, and simple to follow, just like the rest of our advice here at Coral Essentials. However it is one question we feel needs to be answered well to ensure your experience with our products is the absolute best it can be.
The basic core products for all marine tank maintenance is the Primary Care Range. Whether you use our excellent range of pre-mix products already containing Trace: Calcium + Trace Carbonate + Trace Magnesium + Trace Or make up your own Calcium, Alk and Mag solutions with our range of primary care powders: Calcium Up (make sure you add Trace A and B) Carbonate Up (make sure you add Trace C, Boron and Bromide) Magnesium Up (Make sure you add Potassium) To ensure the above powder self mixing products are the same as our "+ Trace" products above, you need to add our range of Coral Power Trace A, B and C, Boron, Bromide and Potassium. Coral Power Trace A (only if using our Calcium Up or other calcium supplement) Coral Power Trace B (only if using our Calcium Up or other calcium supplement) Coral Power Trace C (only if using our Carbonate Up or other carbonate supplement) Coral Power Boron Coral Power Bromide Coral Power Potassium Also if you are using other brand products of powder only or pre-mixed Calcium, Carbonate or Magnesium then you may need to add the Coral Power Trace, Boron Bromide and Potassium range. Check with the manufacturer specifications of their products to see if the full range of Trace elements has already been added, if not then add each as required.
