Aquavitro: A premium line by Seachem

The Aquavitro line of products consists of 7 different additives, namely: Alpha, Balance, Calcification, Eight.four, Fuel, Ions, & Vibrance.

Alpha is a concentrated conditioner for saltwater. Alpha removes chlorine, chloramine and ammonia. Alpha may be used during tank cycling to alleviate ammonia/nitrite toxicity. Alpha detoxifies nitrite and nitrate, allowing the bio-filter to more efficiently remove them. Alpha also promotes the production and regeneration of the natural slime coat on fish. Alpha is non-acidic and will not impact pH, nor will it over activate skimmers.

Balance

A frequent occurence in reef systems is low pH, while calcium and alkalinity are at optimal levels. Raise one and the others may fall. One of the primary reasons for this is an improper carbonate/bicarbonate ratio. The buffer ratio changes as a natural consequence of the buffer’s ability to counteract acidifying sources such as organic acids (produced naturally from waste) or introduced from non-pH controlled husbandry products. In this case, adding more buffer would unnecessarily result in a rise in alkalinity and a drop in calcium. The first product of its kind, balance ends this seesaw effect. It resets this ratio by converting bicarbonate into carbonate in order to reassert a higher pH without affecting calcium level.

Aquavitro offers other solutions designed to address the unique challenge of raising pH in a reef environment. Ions addresses the problem of low magnesium which is a cause of low buffering pK and pH. Eight.four addresses deficiencies in pK found in competing products by providing a properly balanced (carbonate/bicarbonate) buffer system.

Calcification is a concentrated (140,000 mg/L) optimized blend of ionic and bioavailable gluconate-complexed calcium designed to restore and maintain calcium to levels found in natural seawater, without affecting pH. These two forms of calcium are combined in calcification to provide the hobbyist with a convenient way to ensure peak coral growth and health.

Unlike competing products that require multi-day interval dosing when combined with carbonate supplements, calcification can be dosed daily and within minutes of our eight.four as well as the entire aquavitro reef line.

Fuel is a comprehensive carbohydrate, vitamin, amino acid, polyunsaturated fatty acid, and trace element supplement developed to address nutritional requirements commonly associated with corals. Fuel contains ascorbic acid in a base of chlorella, which contains a rich assortment of amino acids and vitamins. The health benefits of chlorella are widely known and while spirulina, a similar algae, has been regularly used in the industry, Aquavitro is the first to utilize the vastly superior chlorella. Fuel is formulated to provide nutrients available from natural tropical reef waters.

Vibrance is a highly concentrated (10,000 mg/L) naturally stabilized potassium iodide source for reef aquaria that will restore and maintain iodide levels to those found in natural sea water. Our proprietary stabilization process makes vibrance the most stable iodide supplement available. Vibrance is also the most concentrated and comes with a pipette for precision dosing. It is formulated to provide a safe source of iodide that will not convert to toxic free iodine under storage or reef conditions.

The Aquavitro line of products is now available at Aqua Hobbies for the price of Euro 9.50 per additive (350 ml).
