Red Sea Reef Foundation C (Mg)

Red Sea Reef Foundation C (Mg) is a high-purity magnesium supplement specifically designed for use in reef aquariums. It is part of the comprehensive Red Sea Reef Foundation system, which ensures the precise and balanced supplementation of the three essential foundation elements: calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium. Magnesium plays a crucial role in maintaining the overall chemical balance of reef aquariums by supporting proper calcium and carbonate saturation, which are vital for coral skeletal development.

Red Sea Reef Foundation C (Mg) contains a highly concentrated solution of magnesium salts, formulated to safely and effectively replenish depleted magnesium levels in marine systems. Magnesium is the third most abundant element in natural seawater and is consumed over time in reef tanks due to biological processes, coral growth, and precipitation reactions. Its presence helps to stabilize calcium and alkalinity by preventing their premature precipitation, allowing corals to absorb both elements more efficiently and promoting sustained skeletal formation.

A deficiency in magnesium can lead to imbalances in calcium and alkalinity, resulting in poor coral growth, structural weakness, and decreased resilience to stress. By maintaining magnesium levels within the ideal range of 1280–1350 ppm, Red Sea Reef Foundation C (Mg) ensures a stable environment that supports coral health, coloration, and vitality. The product is suitable for daily manual dosing or for use with automated dosing pumps, providing flexibility and precision for reef keepers at all levels.

Regular use of Red Sea Reef Foundation C (Mg) is essential for achieving and maintaining optimal water chemistry in reef aquariums. It works synergistically with Reef Foundation A (Calcium/Strontium) and Reef Foundation B (Alkalinity) to support balanced coral growth and to replicate the natural conditions of tropical reef environments. This magnesium supplement is a key component in any effective reef maintenance program and contributes significantly to the long-term success of coral reef aquariums.
