CS Coratroph Reef |
|
CS CoraTroph Reef is a unique, complete food preparation
for invertebrates, which is also fully utilizable by salt water
fish. The product is manufactured exclusively from fresh, natural
raw materials and does not contain any artificial dyes, preservatives
and stabilizers.
During production and storage the product does
not undergo any thermal treatment or freezing. |

In addition to colloidal phase, the product also contains dissolved
organic matter and organic macro-particles - these are targeted primarily
to fish and certain coral species. CS CoraTroph Reef provides living organisms
with large amounts of essential substances, which they are not able to
obtain in another way. |
Specification |
In order to supply the living organisms in reef tank with the whole
range of important organic compounds it is necessary to provide them in
fresh natural form – there is no "synthetic" alternative available.
The unique composition of the supplement CS CoraTroph Reef provides the
marine animals primarily with:
- Resistance against viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases
- Long-lasting sound development
- Natural fast growth and proper coloration

CS CoraTroph Reef is delivered in form of dried super-concetrate CS CoraTroph Reef DC having 2 years lifespan and can be stored at dark place at room temperature. This super-concentrate is intended for preparation of requested amount of aquaeous suspension of CS CoraTroph Reef which must be stored at about 5 degrees Celsius.
22 grams of super-concentrate = 500 ml of aquaeous suspension. |

Factors influencing the product application |
The dosage is strongly individual and depends mainly on the following
factors: |
| |
1 - Population of living organisms in the tank |
It is necessary to realise that CS CoraTroph Reef is prepared predominantly
from fresh meat and other fresh source material. The dosing should be
therefore carried out according to the living organisms population in the
tank (their size and number) - corals, fish and other invertebrates. The
goal is that the whole supplied amount is consumed as soon as possible
at the upper part of the tank by fish, at the middle part by corals, and
for "cleaning
up" at the bottom part ideal are brittle stars, starfish, sea urchins,
shrimp and certain fish species. |
| |
2 - Quality of water circulation in the tank |
| The good quality of the water circulation in the tank is crucial
in order to prevent the settling of unconsumed food particles in so-called
“dead spots”, where the water circulates is almost none. An alternative
solution to this problem is the introduction of certain invertebrates
into the tank, especially brittle stars and shrimps, which will find food
almost anywhere. |
| |
3 – Nitrification capacity |
| The efficiency of the nitrification process plays of course a key
role - CS CoraTroph Reef attracts the attention of all marine organisms
in the tank and after its application causes immediate excretion, especially
for fish. The tank receives in this manner a double load - through the
application of the supplement and through the living organism excrements. |
| |
4 – Skimmer performance |
| A high-performance skimmer has in the case of this particular product
application the great disadvantage. It removes very quickly dissolved
organic matter and small organic particles from water, which in this case
means a loss of nutrients for corals. If possible, the skimmer should be
switched off for one hour during application of CS CoraTroph Reef. |
Dosing |
Suggested |
5 - 20 ml / 100 l of water / week
|
Overdose
symptoms
and
troubleshooting |
One-time
|
Increased ammonia concentration. For the immediate
removal use CS DeChlorAmm.
|
Long-term
|
Exceedingly high concentration of organic nutrients. This may
be the cause of loss of the bright corals coloration, an unnatural
colour change - usually browning- and of the growth of colonies of
unwanted algae and cyanobacteria. Limit the dosage or even temporarily
interrupt the product application and wait until the situation improves.
The unfavourable situation may last even weeks, because primarily algae
generate metabolic nutrient reserves for a rather long time.
|
First-time
application |
If your tank is not highly populated, the initial
dosage should range within 2,5 - 5 ml / 100 l of water / week. Approx.
two hours after the application measure the ammonia concentration
and if need be the nitrate concentration - both values should be negligible.
The dosage may then be gradually increased, as long as none of the
above mentioned overdose symptoms occur. In highly populated tanks
the optimal dosage may be higher than suggested and its adjustment
is always a matter of experimentation.

If regular manual application and/or maintaining of low storing temperature is a problem, we reccommend to use CHANNEL ONE configuration Dosing + Stirring Fridge 11+50:

The reaction to the product application is very fast and all animals in your tank will reward you with a faster growth, an improved coloration and with an increased resistance to diseases. |
