Description
Simplify your reef supplementation without sacrificing coral growth, coloration, or ionic stability. Tropic Marin All-For-Reef Powder delivers an ultra-concentrated, easy-to-mix mineral and trace element solution designed to supply the complete foundational and micro-element requirements of modern reef aquariums.
Unlike traditional multi-part dosing setups or calcium reactors that require multiple heads, tubing, and balancing acts, All-For-Reef utilizes organic calcium salts and specialized compounds to supply calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, strontium, and trace elements from a single dosing container. The 1600g dry format offers maximum value, long shelf life, and significantly reduced shipping weight compared to liquid solutions—making roughly 10 liters (2.64 US Gallons) of ready-to-dose liquid.
Key Features & Benefits
-
True All-in-One Solution: Supplies Calcium, Carbonate Hardness (Alkalinity), Magnesium, Strontium, and Iodine in natural coral-consumption ratios.
-
Includes Tropic Marin K+ & A- Trace Elements: Fully enriched with essential anionic and cationic trace elements (including bromine, fluorine, iodine, lithium, molybdenum, selenium, vanadium, zinc, iron, manganese, and more) to enhance coral vitality and polyp extension.
-
Zero Salinity Drift & Perfect Ionic Balance: Formulated without excess sodium chloride ($NaCl$) by-products, preventing creeping salinity shifts over time.
-
No Excess $\text{CO}_2$ or pH Depressions: Biologically converted by coral tissue and nitrifying bacteria without driving down system pH or creating excess dissolved carbon dioxide.
-
Economical 1600g Size: Yields 10 liters of high-potency liquid, ideal for medium to large reef systems with moderate-to-heavy SPS/LPS demand.
-
Automated or Manual Dosing: Once mixed, the crystal-clear liquid is 100% stable and ready for use with standard automated dosing pumps or daily manual additions.
Mixed Solution Concentration (Per 1,000 mL Solution)
| Element / Parameter | Yield per Liter of Mixed Solution |

| Calcium (Ca) | ~43,000 mg (43 g) |
| Magnesium (Mg) | ~1,900 mg |
| Strontium (Sr) | ~780 mg |
| Iodine (I) | ~34 mg |
| Trace Elements | Full complement of Tropic Marin K+ & A- Elements |
Mixing & Preparation Instructions
-
Water Preparation: Start with a clean mixing vessel with at least 1-liter capacity. Add approximately 900 mL of pure RO/DI water (lukewarm water around 75–80°F / 24–27°C helps accelerate dissolution).
-
Add the Powder: Add 6 level measuring scoops (approx. 160 grams) of All-For-Reef powder to the water.
-
Stir Thoroughly: Stir or agitate well. Because of the high mineral concentration, it takes a few minutes of continuous stirring to fully clear.
-
Top Off: Once fully dissolved, top off with RO/DI water to reach exactly 1 liter total volume. (To prepare the entire 1600g container at once, dissolve the full jar into approximately 9 liters of RO/DI, then top off to 10 liters total).
Dosing & System Guidelines
-
Target Foundation Levels First: Prior to starting All-For-Reef, manually test and adjust your tank's baseline parameters (target ~8.0–8.5 dKH, 420–440 ppm Ca, 1300–1350 ppm Mg).
-
Starting Dose: Begin with a conservative baseline dose of 5 mL of prepared solution per 100 liters (26 US gallons) of system volume per day.
-
Adjusting Dose: Test your alkalinity weekly. Increase the daily dose by 2.5 mL per 100 L (26 US gal) each week until your alkalinity stabilizes at your desired target (recommended: 7.0 – 8.5 dKH).
-
Maximum Daily Dose: Do not exceed 25 mL per 100 liters (26 US gallons) in a single 24-hour period. If demand exceeds this threshold, supplemental calcium/alkalinity methods may be required.
