Find a productProduct description
This four-bottle set is intended for reef keepers who dose trace elements separately rather than relying on a general-purpose additive. Each bottle targets a different element, so the dosing can be adjusted to what the tank consumes. The set is made for the Calcium, KH Buffer and Reef Mineral Salt + Magnesium solutions it is mixed into.
Why it matters
- Strong A contains concentrated strontium and barium. Strontium supports skeleton growth in hard corals and improves their uptake of calcium, and the manufacturer links it to growth of soft corals as well.
- Strong B supplies concentrated trace metals that the manufacturer describes as needed for normal biological processes in aquarium inhabitants, replenishing the elements that occur naturally in seawater.
- Strong C contains iodine and fluorine. Iodine is associated with deeper dark blue and purple colouration in hard corals and with moulting in shrimp, while fluorine takes part in calcification and skeleton formation.
- Strong K provides concentrated potassium, which the manufacturer links to coral metabolism and nutrient transport, and which it says drives pink and red colouration in SPS corals.

What it works with
The set is designed for reef aquariums with hard and soft corals, where calcium, alkalinity and trace element levels are maintained through regular dosing. The product references are specific to Aquaforest base solutions, so it fits tanks already using Calcium, KH Buffer and Reef Mineral Salt + Magnesium. Tank volume is not specified in the product data, so the amount of solution to prepare should be calculated from the planned dosing volume.

Frequently asked questions
The set contains four 75 ml bottles: Strong A, Strong B, Strong C and Strong K. Each one supplies a different group of elements for reef aquariums.
Strong A and Strong B are both dosed at 5 ml per 1 l of Calcium solution. Strong A supplies strontium and barium, and Strong B supplies heavy metals that the supplier describes as naturally present in seawater.
The supplier recommends keeping strontium between about 5 and 15 ppm in a reef aquarium. Strong A is the bottle that provides it.
Strong C contains iodine and fluorine and is dosed at 5 ml per 1 l of KH Buffer. The recommended levels are about 0.06 ppm for iodine and about 13 ppm for fluorine.
Strong K is dosed at 5 ml per 1 l of Reef Mineral Salt + Magnesium solution. The recommended potassium level in a reef aquarium is 360–380 mg/l.
