• Encourages increased Coloration through Biochrome production in Zooxanthellate corals, clams, & their allies.
  
• Provides numerous elements important to the formation of various biochromes (biological pigments) complex molecules that give coloration to plant & animal cells through their selective color-absorption and reflection characteristics.
  
• Formulated specifically to provide trace quantities of elements for gradual incorporation into, and formation of, biochromes known to occur within Zooxanthellate, such as chlorophylls and c, beta carotene ans xanthophylls.

• Advanced adsorbent of phosphate and silicate; provides rapid results.
• May be used on an on-going basis as part of a sensible nutrient-control program.
• Spherical shape and porosity maximize reactive surface area; promotes reactivity and efficiency by maximizing contact time and minimizing tendency to pack and channel water, and outperforms competing non-spherical phosphate-adsorbent media.
• Recommended usage is 2 g of Extrax Phos per 1 US-gallon (3.8 L) in aquarium; 600 grams will adsorb up to 20 mg/L phosphate in 300 US-gallons (1,136 L).
• Does not release phosphate, silicate, or soluble compounds into aquarium system when exhausted.
• Safe for use in all freshwater and marine aquaria, including freshwater planted systems and reef systems.

Brightwell Aquatics KoraLagoon Substrāt is a blend of several grades of aragonite particles created specifically for the purpose of emulating a lagoon environment.

Overview:

• A blend of high-purity aragonite particulate grades to simulate the natural substrate particle profile of tropical reef lagoons.
  
• Multiple particulate grades encourage biochemical reactions (e.g. nitrification and denitrification) within the sediment to facilitate continuous release of constituent ions (calcium, carbonate, strontium, magnesium, potassium, and sixty minor and trace elements), encouraging the growth of reef-building organisms and helping stabilize pH.
  
• Over 39% calcium and 57% carbonate by dry weight.
  
• Applications include refugia, sea grass and macroalgae bed systems, mangrove systems, and other methods of filtration employing substrate to facilitate natural reduction of organic and nitrogenous waste, and reef aquaria of all sizes (notably nano-reef systems).
  
• Formulated by a marine scientist.

• High-purity, magnesium-rich mineral that may be employed in traditional calcium reactors, or even blended in to pre-existing aquarium substratum, to gradually increase and maintain the magnesium concentration in the system.
• Provides magnesium, which helps regulate the balance between calcium and carbonates in aquarium water, and is a component of aragonite, the mineral secreted by reef-building organisms to form skeletal material.
• Composed of magnesium, calcium, and carbonates.
• Optimal average particle size for use in media reactors and calcium reactors.
• Free of chloride and sulfate.
• Mined in the United States.

Unique zeolitic medium for selective removal of dissolved organic compounds through ionic and molecular adsorption, as well as passive uptake via the beneficial microbes that colonize the media; the combined result of these processes yields improved water quality and an important source of food (bacterioplankton) for corals and other suspension-feeding organisms.

Used in conjunction with Brightwell Aquatics MicroBacter7 and Reef BioFuel, helps establish biological filtration and maintain an ultra-low nutrient environment for the express purpose of enabling coral coloration to be perceived without interference from zooxanthellae pigmentation.

Provides a colonization site for the microorganisms responsible for nitrification, denitrification, and organic waste degradation in marine aquaria.

• Next-generation regenerable phosphate adsorption resin effective in marine aquaria; will also remove silicates.
  
• Far more effective than activated alumina and granular ferric products.
  
• Will not negatively impact water quality nor release phosphate or silicate once exhausted; will not break up or disintegrate like ferric medias, and contains no aluminum to dissolve in aquaria and harm inhabitants.
  
• Synthetic polymer resin beads provide for durability and excellent flow characteristics; may be employed in fluiduzed-bed, canister, or passive filtration.
  
• Regenerable up to five times, dramatically increasing cost effectiveness.

• Regenerates up to 1,500 ml total of Brightwell Aquatics Phosphat-R regenerable phosphate-absorption resin.
• Regenerates: 
• 175 ml size 8 times
• 250 ml size 6 times
• 500ml size 3 times
