| Reef One Marine Conversion Kit FAQs |
How Often Should I Change The Water?
Each month you should change 25% of the water in your aquarium with fresh
saltwater. In the Marine Service Kit is a replacement filter cartridge and a packet
of high quality Reef Salt which you should mix with either tap water or RO water.
Never change more than 1/3 of the water in your aquarium when you have live
inhabitants. Changing large amounts of water will alter the water pH and can
adversely affect the health of your inhabitants. NEVER wash the ceramic media in
tap water, this will kill all beneficial bacteria which have been developing.
Do I Really Need To Buy Marine Service Kits?
To simplify the process of marine fish keeping we have developed a unique marine
filter cartridge that has the exact quantity of water conditioners to keep the
aquarium working perfectly. You will also need to change 25% of the water each
month using the high quality Reef Salt supplied in the Marine Service Kit.
Like all aquariums if you don't perform regular maintance the level of Nitrate will
increase over time. Nitrate can cause kidney, liver and eye problems, as well as
preventing the fishes gills from absorbing oxygen from the water.
What If I Need Extra Salt?
If you have a biOrb 30 or biUbe the Marine Conversion Kit will contain additional
salt which can be used if required. By following the instructions provided, you
should not need any additional salt. The Marine Conversion Kit comes with the
exact quantity of Reef Grade Marine Salt for a 60L biOrb, this makes creating the
ideal saltwater simple.
Can I Use A Normal Biorb Service Kit?
No, the standard Service Kit, First Aid and Anti Algae Service Kits are intended for
freshwater fishkeeping. The Marine filter cartridge has been specifically designed
for saltwater aquariums. The Marine Filter Cartridge has been developed over a
number of years to ensure that the optimum combination of resin particles are
used to help create and maintain the marine system.
What About The PH?
The Marine Filter Cartridge and the Reef Salt have been carefully tested through
numerous trials to ensure that the pH will naturally
buffer to a range of 8.0 to 8.4
(typically 8.2) which is
regarded as ideal for Marine fish.
Rapid pH changes stress fish but our system buffers
the pH, keeping it within the required range
without the
addition of any liquid pH buffer
chemicals.
