Component 1+ 5L

Aquaforest Component 1+ is a 5 L liquid supplement for reef aquariums where hobbyists need to replenish calcium together with a range of trace elements. It is intended for keepers who want to avoid estimating individual micronutrient doses, which the supplier describes as difficult to determine and demanding in dosing consistency at home.

Why it matters

• The formula contains Ca, Sr, Ba, Co, Mn, Cu, Fe, Zn, Ni and Cr in a single product, so these elements are supplied together rather than through separate additives.
• According to the supplier, 25 ml raises calcium by 4.5 ppm per 100 L, which makes the effect on calcium straightforward to calculate for a given system volume.
• The product is designed to be dosed in equal amounts alongside Components 2 and 3, a routine that the supplier links to maintaining calcium and magnesium levels.
• The recipe is based on the H. Balling method, modified and enriched with trace elements, as stated in the supplier data.
