Happy Friday Everyone, Today’s Deal is ….

Seachem Reef Carbonate 500ml – 40% OFF (limit 2)

Reef Carbonate™is a concentrated (4,000 meq/L) optimized blend of carbonate and bicarbonate salts designed to restore and maintain alkalinity in the reef aquarium. Calcium and carbonates are essential to all coral growth. If either becomes deficient, coral growth will cease, followed by a rapid decline in coral health. To prevent this you must provide carbonates (Reef Carbonate™) and calcium (Reef Advantage Calcium™ or Reef Complete®).
Used as directed, Reef Carbonate™ will not deplete calcium, magnesium, or strontium which usually tend to precipitate with increasing alkalinity. Reef alkalinity should be maintained at 3–5 meq/L (8–14 dKH). Alkalinity should not be allowed to fall below 2 meq/L.

Whereas competing products simply use sodium bicarbonate, Reef Carbonate™ is made with a blend of carbonate and bicarbonate salts. This blend of salts results in Reef Carbonate™ yielding a pK of roughly 9.0 in saltwater (higher than competing products). In a closed reef system, the multitude of organics produced by reef inhabitants tends to force pH downward, but the advantage of Reef Carbonate’s™ higher pK is a stabilization of pH around 8.3-8.4. Competing products’ formulations make them incapable of such a claim, so pH will always fall below desirable levels for a reef aquarium.

ANOTHER BATCH OF SEAHORSE BABIES ARRIVED THIS MORNING

Seahorse Babies at Aquarium Illusions born Dec 9

DAILY DEAL FOR WED, DEC 8TH.

Calcium Pro Test Kit – 40% OFF

Calcium, an essential component in the building of coral skeletons, is constantly depleted from the aquarium and needs to be monitored on a regular basis.
Calcium Pro is an advanced calcium titration test that delivers accurate results down to 20 ppm.

The Daily DEAL for Thursday, Dec 2nd is ….
ATI BULBS 40% OFF
(limit 6)

The Daily Deal for today is:

SEACHEM 500ml CALCIUM – 40% OFF

(limit 2)

Reef Calcium™ is a concentrated (50,000 mg/L) bioavailable polygluconate complexed calcium intended to maintain calcium in the reef aquarium without altering pH.

Polygluconate complexation confers several benefits: it increases the bioavailability of the calcium, it provides a rich source of metabolic energy to help maintain peak coral growth, and it prevents calcium precipitation/alkalinity depletion. Polygluconate contains no nitrogen or phosphorous, thus it is biologically impossible for it to lead to algae growth in a properly maintained reef system.

DAILY DEAL for Feb 3rd. is REFRACTOMETERS for 40% OFF.  Makes a great gift for the hobbyist.  Limit 1.  Come in Friday to get yours before this deal is done.

What does a refractometer do?
Serious hobbyists know that the best way to measure the salinity and specific gravity of aquarium water is to use a refractometer. These precision optical instruments are incredibly accurate even at very low salt levels, and are equally easy to use. Recently, these instruments have become more affordable, so now every aquarium owner can have one to help monitor water conditions.
