| Reef One Marine Conversion Kit FAQs |
Should I Use Real Live Rock?
The main advantage of these porous rocks lie in their colonisation by a large
number of beneficial bacteria and other microorganisms, including nitrifying and
denitrifying bacteria. Live rocks also sometimes contain macro-algae, sponges,
worms and other invertebrates which can be beneficial to your aquarium. Live
rock contains a large number of beneficial bacteria and we recommend customers
consider purchasing some. If you choose to use real Live Rock you will not require
as much as a traditional marine aquarium as the Ceramic Media (supplied) is
extremely effective at supporting large colonies of beneficial bacteria.
What About Dead Spots In The Artificial Live Rock?
Dead spots can occur in aquariums in cavities where water can collect and
become stagnant. The modular artificial live rock supplied in the Marine
Conversion Kit has been specifically designed for Reef One and is very porous
allowing water to flow in and out avoiding dead spots.
What Fish Food Should I Use?
Feeding of the marine inhabitants is one of the most important factors in keeping
a healthy aquarium. We recommend the Hikari Marine-S™. These high quality
pellets have been formulated to float and will not dissolve or cloud the water. The
porous pellet immediately becomes soft & sponge-like, it's a texture your marine
fish are accustomed to. Hikari Marine-S includes krill meal, silkworm pupa meal,
alpha starch, and dried seaweed meal to help establish proper metabolism while
maintaining good digestive system health. Frozen foods are sometimes suggested
by aquatic stores, however these are not recommended as they may decrease
water quality if all the food is not eaten.
What Is SG?
The Specific gravity (Sg) is the measurement used in marine systems to describe
the salt content of water. In a marine aquarium the Sg should be between 1.022
and 1.026. We recommend a Sg of 1.024 which most experts agree is an ideal
level for most marine fish. The Sg is affected by temperature so the Sg needs to
be measured when the water is 24-25C. Sg is easily measured using the
Hydrometer provided in the Marine Conversion Kit.
What Type Of Marine Salt Is Supplied?
Our synthetic Reef Salt contains every necessary major,
minor, and trace element
and has no nitrates and no
phosphates. Our Reef
Salt is
manufactured in Europe
and every batch is analyzed using sophisticated
biological and chemical testing to assure
consistently high quality.
