Silicate¹⁴+ supplies a reef-safe, bio-available silicate source for marine aquaria. Controlled additions of silicate encourage diatom blooms, which rapidly outcompete nuisance dinoflagellates. Diatoms may leave a temporary brown film on rock and sand; this is expected and will clear naturally once silicates are depleted. Silicate is also a vital nutrient for sponges and other siliceous filter feeders, making Silicate+ a valuable supplement for biodiversity. Instructions  Diatom Bloom / Dinoflagellate Control: Dose 3 mL per 10 gal (38 L) once daily until a diatom bloom establishes. Expect a temporary brown film; this confirms diatoms are consuming silicate. The tank will clear as silicates are depleted. Sponge & Filter Feeder Support: Dose 1 mL per 10 gal (38 L) every 2–3 days to maintain ~1 ppm SiO₂. General Notes: Add to sump or high-flow area. Avoid dosing directly onto livestock, heaters, or pumps. Do not exceed 3 ppm silicate at one time. Test silicate with an aquarium test kit when possible. Each 250 mL bottle treats ~800 gallons at 3 ppm, or ~2,400 gallons at 1 ppm. Ingredients Purified RO/DI water Sodium silicate solution Storage Keep tightly capped and out of direct sunlight. Store between 15 – 30 °C (59 – 86 °F). Avoid freezing. Slight haze or settling will not affect performance. Safety Information Not for human consumption. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.

Precision Nitrogen Supplement Ammplify supplies an ACS grade, bio‑available nitrogen source for reef and marine aquaria that chronically test near‑zero for nitrate. Many corals, sponges, macro‑algae and nitrifying bacteria assimilate ammonium with less metabolic cost than nitrate, making small, controlled additions of Ammplify an efficient way to stabilise nutrient ratios, prevent “pale coral” syndrome and kick‑start fish‑less cycling. Each mL adds 4.30 mg total ammonia; at pH 8.2 only ~7 % is present as free NH₃. Instructions  Ammplify supports three complementary objectives: Coral feed / nutrient lift: Dose 1 mL per 10 L (≈ 0.1 mL per US gal) to raise total NH₃/NH₄ by ~0.15 ppm. Ideal for coral‑rich, low‑nutrient systems. Nitrate booster: Dose 1 mL per 20 L (≈ 0.05 mL per US gal). Unassimilated ammonium is biologically converted, adding ~0.2 ppm NO₃. Fish‑less cycling: Dose 1 mL per L (3.8 mL per US gal) for an initial 4.3 ppm total NH₃/NH₄. Redose only when both ammonia and nitrite read 0 ppm. Add to sump or AIO filter chamber, never directly onto livestock. Allow ≥ 10 min mixing before testing. Do not exceed 0.25 ppm total NH₃/NH₄ in display tanks. Heavy dosing can reduce alkalinity (‑2.3 dKH per 1 mL L ¹). Ingredients Purified RO/DI water Proprietary ACS‑grade nitrogen compound Storage Storage Keep tightly capped and out of direct sunlight. Store between 15 – 30 °C (59 – 86 °F). Crystals that form below 10 °C will redissolve when warmed and shaken. Safety Information Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.

Precision Nitrate Supplement Nitrify delivers a consistent, ACS‑grade nitrate source for reef systems that chronically test near‑zero for nitrate. Adequate NO₃ is critical for zooxanthellae photosynthesis, coral coloration, macroalgae growth, and overall microbial balance. Prolonged deficiency can impair phosphate uptake, slow growth, and allow nuisance dinoflagellates or cyanobacteria to dominate. Nitrify enables precise NO₃ correction without adding organics, cloudiness, or unwanted trace metals. Each mL raises NO₃ by ~8 ppm per US gallon (3.8 L). Instructions  Dose 1 mL per 1 US gallon (3.8 L) to raise nitrate by ~8 ppm. Begin with a partial dose and test after 24 hours before repeating. Dose into a high‑flow area (sump or rear chamber preferred). Avoid large swings; small, frequent doses are safer than large, infrequent ones. Always test with a reliable high‑range nitrate kit before and after dosing. In established tanks, actual NO₃ rise may be lower than expected due to binding, microbial uptake, or denitrification; adjust dosing based on test results. Maintaining measurable nitrate can help suppress dinoflagellate or cyanobacteria outbreaks, especially when phosphate and overall microbial balance are also supported. Ingredients Purified RO/DI water Proprietary ACS‑grade nitrate salts Storage Keep tightly capped and out of direct sunlight. Store between 15 – 30 °C (59 – 86 °F).
