Reef Complete is a concentrated (160,000 mg/L) optimized blend of ionic calcium designed to restore and maintain calcium to levels found in natural seawater without affecting pH. 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 calcium (Reef complete) and carbonates (Reef Builder or Reef Carbonate) Reef Complete also includes magnesium and strontium in amounts proportionate to typical utilization ratios (100:5:0.1, Ca:Mg: Sr). This allows one to maintain these two important elements while maintaining calcium. Reef Complete is a blended product. It is not simply calcium chloride. Commercially available calcium chloride contains ammonia. Unlike other ionic calcium supplements, Reef Complete is blended to a higher pH to force the ammonia to gas off into the atmosphere. Also, Reef Complete is more concentrated than any other liquid product on the market. Reef Complete contains 160,000 ppm calcium.
- Liquid Ionic Calcium Source
- Maintains Magnesium & Strontium
- Raises Calcium
- Essential to Coral Growth
- Will Not Affect pH
INSTRUCTIONS: Beginner: Use 1 capful (5 mL) per 80 L (20 US gallons) twice a week. Check calcium every 2 weeks and adjust the amount or frequency accordingly
Advanced: Check calcium level (use Reef Status: Calcium to measure calcium), then follow the addition regimen above until calcium is adjusted to 380-420 mg/L. Each 5 mL/80 L (20 US gallons) will raise calcium by about 10 mg/L. Quantity or frequency can be adjusted, but do not exceed 12.5 mL/80 L (20 US gallons) per day. Thereafter, use as required to maintain calcium.
Expert: After determining the calcium consumption rate, set up a continuous drip system. Use the following formula (or skip the math and use our Dosage Calculator) to determine how much to add to your top off water: m=vc/160 (m=mL of product to add to top off water, v=volume of the tank in liters, c=amount to raise calcium in mg/L). [For reference: 1 US gallon=3.8 L].
If used with Reef Calcium, it is not necessary to exceed 380 mg/L total calcium. Use Reef Status: Calcium to measure calcium.
DO NOT OVERDOSE: Excess calcium may enhance the loss of carbonate alkalinity. Do not directly mix with any carbonate supplement. Best if calcium & carbonate additives are added on alternate days or at least 30 minutes apart.
INGREDIENTS: Amounts per 1g Calcium (Ca) (min)

Seachem Reef Iodide is an important element required by invertebrates and many soft corals (gorgonians, sarcophytons, etc). Reef Iodide is a concentrated (8,000 mg/L) stabilized potassium iodide source for reef aquaria that will restore and maintain iodide levels to those found in natural seawater.
- Raises Iodide levels in reef aquariums to levels found in natural sea water
- Reef iodide contains no toxic iodide, only safe iodide
- Reef Iodide is important for the essential growth of soft tissue
Reef Iodide is formulated to provide a safe and easy-to-use source of iodide that will not convert to toxic-free iodine under storage or reef conditions.
DIRECTIONS: For beginner use, add 5 mL (1 capful) for each 200 L (US 50 gallons) every other day.
Reef Phytoplankton is a concentrated blend of green and brown marine phytoplankton designed to provide the essential fatty acids, proteins, vitamins, and amino acids, with biological carotenoids for an invertebrate diet. Size ranges from 1-20 ?m to feed a broad range of tropical marine aquarium filter feeders and invertebrates.
- Reef Phytoplankton is a concentrated blend of green and brown marine phytoplankton
- Phytoplankton size ranges from 1-20 ?m
- Enhanced to increase the bioavailability of important nutrients
IReef Phytoplankton contains a natural source of carotenoids which provides essential proteins as well as a more bioavailable source of pigmentation when compared to other natural sources and synthetic pigments. Carotenoids provide the extra benefit of antioxidant activity. In addition, Reef Phytoplankton is enhanced to increase the bioavailability of important nutrients such as proteins, lipids, B vitamins, and other organic pigments, thus, corals expend less energy to derive the nutritional benefit. It is blended to contain the proper ratio of fatty acids, carbohydrates, and proteins. Blending phytoplankton yields better nutritional value. Studies show increased consumption of phytoplankton in filter feeders when using mixed cultures versus a single culture of phytoplankton.
DIRECTIONS: Shake well before using. Add 1 capful (5 mL) per 200 L (50 US gallons) of water twice weekly or as required to maintain coral growth. For best results, dose directly to the aquarium; target feeding can overwhelm corals and have a negative impact. Refrigeration after opening is recommended, but not required.
Seachem Reef Plus is a full spectrum reef supplement containing trace elements, vitamins, and amino acids demonstrated to have a positive impact on the growth of corals and other desirable reef creatures.
- Concentrated vitamin and amino acid supplement
- Use 10mL for every 40 gallons of saltwater
- For saltwater aquarium use only
Seachem Reef Plus is formulated to provide nutrients available from natural tropical reef waters. Contains vitamin B12, vitamin C, thiamine, inositol, choline, iodide, and other essential constituents at pH 8.3. Reef Plus is nitrate/phosphate free.
Reef Strontium's addition to reef aquariums aids the growth of corals, coralline algae, and other organisms that lay down a calcareous skeleton or shell, including tridacnid clams. Reef Strontium is intended to restore and maintain strontium to levels found within natural seawater without affecting pH. Strontium is utilized in the same manner as calcium and holds a similar importance in maintaining a vigorous level of growth.
- Seachem Reef Strontium aids in healthy growth of corals and coralline algae
- Restores and maintains strontium in reef aquariums
- Gluconate complexation provides a rich source of metabolic energy
Reef Strontium contains 10,000 mg/L of available strontium as a gluconate complex. Gluconate complexation offers several benefits: it increases the bioavailability of the strontium, it provides a rich source of metabolic energy to help maintain peak coral growth, and it inhibits strontium precipitation/alkalinity depletion. Gluconate does not contain nitrogen or phosphorus, making it biologically impossible for it to lead to algae growth in a properly maintained reef system.
DIRECTIONS: Use 1 capful (5 mL) per 80 L (20 US gallons) twice a week.
Reef Trace supplies a broad range of trace elements demonstrated to be necessary for proper reef health and growth. Trace elements are normally depleted by utilization, oxidation, and precipitation. The latter two processes occur more rapidly than with other micronutrients. This makes it important to restore trace elements on a regular basis. Reef Trace may be used alone or in conjunction with Reef Plus. The best results are obtained when both are used. Reef Trace is nitrate/phosphate free.
- Reef Trace supplies a broad range of trace elements
- Reef Trace may be used alone or in conjunction with Reef Plus
- Reef Trace is nitrate/phosphate free
Replenishment of a number of trace elements is required to maintain an environment ideal for the growth and reproduction of marine life, but while the importance of trace elements has been recognized by aquarists for many years, the physiological reasons are not fully understood. The chemical elements in seawater are varied, and, likewise, their addition to the aquarium in trace quantities has varied effects on a variety of saltwater plants and invertebrate species. In general, though, these elements are important for metabolic processes and pigment formation.
DIRECTIONS: Use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 80 L (20 US gallons) twice a week. When used in conjunction with Reef Plus, dose on alternate days.

Directions for Use:
Note: These directions supersede all other prior packaging.
Directions for 10 g and 50 g:
Use 100 mg Safe (scoop) per each 100 L (25 gallons) as needed to reduce chlorine and chloramine or per 25 L (6 gallons) for ammonia.
Directions for all other sizes:
Use 1.25 g (1/4 tsp.) for every 1,250 L (300 gallons) as needed to reduce chlorine and chloramine or use 1.25 g (1/4 tsp.) for every 300 L (75 gallons) for ammonia.
May be added to aquarium directly, but better if added to new water first. If adding directly to aquarium, base dose on aquarium volume. For exceptionally high chloramine concentrations, a double dose may be used safely. To detoxify nitrite and nitrate in an emergency, up to 4 times normal dose may be used. If temperature is > 30 °C (86 °F) and chlorine or ammonia levels are low, use a half dose.
SulfaPlex is an effective and safe treatment for many bacterial, fungal and protozoan infestations in the aquarium. While it can be used in both freshwater and saltwater, it is particularly effective against the common bacterial and fungal infections of freshwater fish. It is also among the gentler antibiotics, and great for treating fish that are already stressed. It is easily removed with carbon and does not impair nitrification.

- Broad Spectrum Antibiotic and Anti-Fungal Medicatoin
- Absorbed Through Gills
- Marine & Freshwater
- One of the Gentler Antibiotics, Great for Treating Fish that are Already Stressed.
INSTRUCTIONS: Dosing in Water Remove all invertebrates - these are extremely sensitive to medication. Turn off UV filters, ozone filters, and remove chemical filtration like MatrixCarbon and Purigen. Use 2-3 measures (included) per every 40 L (10 US gallons). Repeat this dose every 72 hours for a maximum of 3 weeks. Dosing in Food SulfaPlex is most effective when used in the water, but it can also be added to the food. Feed the medicated food mix (recipe below) every day until the infection clears or up to 3 weeks. 1 scoop SulfaPlex, 1 scoop Focus, 1 tbsp food (preferably pellets or frozen food). A few drops of water if using a dry food. To enhance palatability use with GarlicGuard or Entice. After Treating When the treatment period is over, SulfaPlex can easily be removed using activated filter carbon like MatrixCarbon. It does not linger in the substrate or filter media of the tank.
