The Aquaforest Component A is a critical supplement designed to enhance the growth of SPS and LPS corals as well as clams and filter feeders in saltwater reef aquariums. By balancing strontium and barium levels, this product helps accelerate coral development and ensures that trace elements are maintained at optimal levels despite removal by filtration media or skimmers. It is recommended to dose Component A alongside Components B and C for best results, especially when using the probiotic method which can deplete essential minerals in the aquarium water.
