Description
Nyos Ion Elements 3 (Alk/pH) 500ml is one of three new Elemental supplements that are part of the new Ion B range by Nyos.
The introduction of modern water analysis offers completely new possibilities for monitoring the consumption of trace elements in saltwater aquariums. In the process, new insights have also emerged into which trace elements are relevant and in what proportion they are consumed. Important individual elements such as vanadium, rubidium or selenium were often neglected in the past. It is also now known that certain elements such as iron and zinc must be specially stabilized, otherwise they are not available.
Nyos Ion Elements 3 ALK/PH is a state-of-the-art trace element mixture based on real consumption of modern reef aquariums. It contains the following elements: fluorine, iodine, potassium, selenium.
Product Specifications:
- State-of-the-art trace element mixtures based on real consumption of modern reef aquariums
- Full range supply of all important trace elements including vanadium, selenium, rubidium
- “Fast-volatile” elements such as iron or zinc are stabilized and directly available
- Adjustable to your tank’s consumption
- Easy dosing by adding to the Nyos® ION-B CA/MG+ and ALK/PH+ solutions
- No pH increase and stabilization. This leads to the dreaded drop in pH at night.
- Very different amounts of calcium and alkalinity solutions are required. This means that no conclusion can be drawn as to whether calcium and alkalinity are added in a balanced ratio.
- Increased risk of an empty container going unnoticed as containers become empty at different times.
- The alkalinity solution is significantly less concentrated than the ION-B ALK/PH+, so a larger container is required.
- No ion balancing takes place. This effect cannot be prevented and must therefore be weakened through excessive water changes. Over time, this leads to problems in the aquarium, including old tank syndrome.
Dosage Instructions:
Nyos Ion Elements 3 ALK/PH is not added to the aquarium, but to the Nyos Ion-B ALK/PH+ solution. The target dosage is 20ml per liter (34 fl oz) of Nyos Ion-B ALK/PH+. To get a feeling for your aquarium’s needs, start with 10ml per liter (34 fl oz) and then increase the value continuously over 2-4 weeks until your trace element levels are in the target range. For monitoring purposes, we recommend regular ICP analysis of your aquarium.
