Salifert Boron

Boron is a necessary trace element. Too low a concentration of boron slows down the growth of corals and lime algae. Contains mixed boron-containing salts. Reef Boron Why is boron needed? Boron is present in NSW (Natural Sea Water) in a moderately low concentration (4.4 to 4.8 mg / l or ppm). It is mainly present as boric acid and to a lesser extent borate. It has several important biological functions and our results show that a too low concentration of boron could slow the growth of corals and calcified algae. Boron also has a positive effect on the buffering of NSW. In particular at a pH of 8.1 to 8.3. In most aquariums, boron decreases very slowly but gradually. Boron is present in high concentrations in some aquariums. This is due to the use of a poor quality salt with a very high boron concentration or by supplements with an increased boron concentration. About Reef Boron This addition does not contain a toxic boric acid compound (see above) but is gradually and mainly converted to the desired boric acid within 24 hours. This method has advantages. When it is added in high concentrations, there is too high a concentration in local places for it to be properly absorbed. This could then cause a slight but temporary toxic effect. This danger is prevented by our procedure. Salifert is the only one that offers such an essential addition. All ingredients are of pharmaceutical quality or better. This ensures that no unwanted elements are added to your valuable aquarium. Additional recommendations Other elements, such as strontium and many trace elements, have similar effects to boron. That is, the acceleration of coral growth and the stimulation of many biological processes. They can easily be supplemented with our Natural Strontium, Trace Soft and Hard Trace. Directions for use Shake before use. Use a drill test (Salifert's Boron Profi Test) to measure the drill concentration. This supplement must be dosed if boron concentration is less than 4.4 mg / L (ppm). Every 10 ml per 100 L will increase the boron concentration by approximately 0.25 mg / l (ppm). It takes around 20 hours for the supplemented boron to be measurable! Keep out of reach of children. In the event of contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of water. Only for aquarium hobby use. Not for human consumption (direct or indirect)! Active ingredients: mixed boron salts.
