Components Pro 3 x 5 litres

Components Pro is a three-component dosing set for reef aquariums with SPS corals. It is meant for keepers who need a regular, equal-dose supplement for calcium, magnesium and carbonate hardness, along with trace elements that are difficult to dose accurately at home. The dosing dose is based on daily consumption of Ca, KH and Mg, so the regimen depends on regular water testing.

Why it matters

• Target ranges: the set is designed to keep KH at 6.5–8.5, Ca at 380–460 ppm and Mg at 1180–1460 ppm.
• Trace elements: Component 1 Pro contains Sr, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr, Co and Mo alongside Ca, so these elements are supplied with the calcium rather than dosed separately.
• Equal-dose system: all three components are dosed in the same amount, which keeps the calcium, alkalinity and magnesium balance consistent over time.
• Adjustment range: if test results fall outside target values, the Aquaforest Lab products Ca Plus, Mg Plus and KH Plus are used to bring parameters back to the desired levels.

What it works with

The set is intended for reef aquariums stocked with SPS corals, at a moderate stocking level as the reference dose assumes. The dose of 12 ml per 100 litres per day scales with tank volume, so the actual amount is calculated from the water volume and the results of water tests. When parameters are off target, it is used together with Ca Plus, Mg Plus and KH Plus from the Aquaforest Lab line.
