Aquaforest Lab Components Pro 3 x 5L is a three-part, Balling-based supplementation system for reef aquariums. The set provides Component 1 Pro, Component 2 Pro and Component 3 Pro in three separate 5L containers, supplying calcium, carbonate hardness, magnesium, mineral salts and trace elements.

Designed for an ongoing reef dosing routine, the three liquids are dosed in equal amounts, with the amount established from your aquarium's calcium, KH and magnesium consumption. Regular water testing is essential to determine the appropriate dose.

Daily dosing versus concentration examples

For an aquarium with an average SPS coral stock, Aquaforest gives an approximate guide of 12ml of each liquid per 100L of aquarium water daily. This means equal individual doses of Component 1 Pro, Component 2 Pro and Component 3 Pro, not 12ml shared between all three. Adjust the routine to measured consumption rather than treating this guide as a fixed requirement for every reef.

The 25ml figures below describe the effect of a measured amount of each individual component. They are concentration examples, not the recommended daily dose.

  • Component 1 Pro, 5L: Contains calcium, strontium, iron, manganese, copper, zinc, nickel, chromium, cobalt and molybdenum. A 25ml dose per 100L raises calcium by 9ppm.
  • Component 2 Pro, 5L: Contains bicarbonate, fluorine and iodine. A 25ml dose per 100L raises KH by 1.3dKH, equivalent to 0.46meq/L alkalinity.
  • Component 3 Pro, 5L: Contains mineral salts, magnesium, sulphur, potassium, boron, strontium and lithium. A 25ml dose per 100L raises magnesium by 0.76ppm.

Setting up your dosing routine

  • Test calcium, KH and magnesium regularly and establish the dose from consumption.
  • Dose all three liquids in equal amounts. Where individual parameters need correction, Aquaforest recommends separate Ca Plus, Mg Plus or KH Plus supplements rather than simply increasing one Pro liquid independently.
  • Split the daily dose into multiple smaller doses where possible.
  • Maintain dosing lines regularly because of the product's high concentration.
  • Position the Component 2 Pro dosing outlet in a high-flow area to help dissolution. Aquaforest notes that a white, gelatinous precipitate may appear when this component contacts aquarium water.

Choosing the correct Aquaforest system

This is the Components Pro three-part system, not the individual Component A, B or C trace supplements, Components Strong additives, or standard Component 1+2+3+. Do not transfer dosing volumes between differently concentrated products without checking the directions for the exact system.
