Additives & Water Care | Guide to Precision Reef Chemistry

Maintaining stable water chemistry is the single most important factor in long-term coral success. Our collection of Nyos® and ATI® water care products provides the scientific tools required to replicate the complex mineral balance of natural seawater.

Nyos® ION-B | The Modern Mineral Balance

Designed for the modern reef keeper, the Nyos® ION-B dosing system ensures that Calcium, Alkalinity, Magnesium, and essential trace elements stay in perfect equilibrium.

  • Balanced Dosing: Replaces consumed minerals in the exact ratios corals need for skeletal growth.

  • Trace Element Integration: Includes vital micronutrients that are often depleted in closed systems.

  • Stable pH: Formulated by Nyos® to support high pH levels, critical for accelerating calcification.

ATI® Reef Essentials | Targeted Water Care

ATI® Reef Essentials is a comprehensive supplementation system designed to maintain the foundation of a thriving reef through laboratory-backed precision.

  • Complete Elemental Support: Provides the major, minor, and trace elements necessary for coral health and skeletal development.

  • Laboratory Validated: Every formula is developed using data from the ATI® ICP Lab to ensure optimal biological availability.

  • Coral Vitality: Specifically designed to enhance coral tissue repair, growth rates, and natural fluorescence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Nyos® ION-B and ATI® Reef Essentials?

Nyos® ION-B is a balanced dosing system optimized for maintaining elevated pH and daily mineral stability. ATI® Reef Essentials focuses on providing a complete range of elements and nutrients based on the extensive research and data from the ATI® ICP Laboratory.

Can I use ATI® ICP Elements with the Nyos® ION-B system?

Yes. If an ATI® Laboratory Analysis identifies a specific deficiency (such as Manganese or Vanadium), you can use individual ATI® ICP Elements to target that specific parameter without changing your base Nyos® dosing.
