What's inside? All the elements an aquarium needs, in just two bottles.

Essentials SPS and Mixed Reef supply the aquarium with calcium, carbonate hardness and magnesium, as well as all other relevant macro-elements such as boron and bromine, chloride, fluorine, potassium, sodium, sulfur and strontium

In addition, Essentials contain a basic supply of the essential trace elements chromium, cobalt, iron, fluorine, iodine, copper, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, rubidium, selenium, vanadium and zinc.

Immediately ready for use and highly concentrated

Essentials SPS and Mixed Reef are ready to use immediately. No tedious preparation is required. Furthermore, they are highly concentrated: Essentials SPS is approximately 3.6 times more concentrated than classic Balling solutions, and Essentials Mixed Reef is even 5 times more concentrated. 

Same dosage amounts for both Bottles

ATI Essentials provide a complete supply of trace elements without the need to dose each element separately.

The concentrations are precisely calibrated so that equal amounts of both solutions are used. The Essentials can be individually adjusted to the needs of your aquarium. This ensures a natural water composition and prevents ion imbalances.

ATI ESSENTIALS

Perfect care. Visible results. Optimal growth and impressive colors.

Application: Child's Play

How to use Essentials SPS and Mixed Reef

Connect

Connect the Essentials to your dosing pump. 

Starting dose

If you are using Essentials SPS, start with 5-10 ml per 100 liters per day. For Essentials Mixed-Reef, use 3-7 ml as a guideline. 

Determine consumption

Each reef aquarium has a different consumption rate. Measure the alkalinity after one week and increase or decrease the dosage of both solutions accordingly. 

Stable water parameters

By dosing the Essentials, you keep all relevant water parameters constant and perfectly balance the daily consumption of your corals. 

Comparison with other systems

Advantages of Essentials SPS and Mixed Reef
compared to other supply systems

All in just two bottles

The Essentials system consists of only two bottles for basic use, while other systems typically require 3-5 bottles. This reduces complexity and saves valuable space in the cupboard. 

Equal dosage amounts

Other supply systems dispense different quantities of each component, which is prone to errors. If one component runs out, the other may not yet be depleted. 

Complete supply of trace elements

While other systems often only balance calcium and KH, Essentials SPS and Mixed Reef each contain 25 essential elements. 

Highly concentrated

The Essentials solutions are highly concentrated and contain up to 5 times more KH per liter than classic Balling solutions. 

Continuously optimized and ICP controlled

Based on tens of thousands of ICP laboratory analyses, the recipe has been optimized over the years. Continuous quality control is carried out via our ICP laboratory. 

Fair price per unit

At only about 50 cents per 1,000 °dKH, the price is quite reasonable.

  • For cold operating temperatures, we recommend a 1:1 dilution of both bottles with reverse osmosis water.

Fine-tuning for the finishing touches

Fine-tuning for Essentials SPS or Mixed Reef

Daily Traces A & B and Essential Nitro & Phospho

Daily Traces A & B

ATI® Essentials SPS and Essentials Mixed Reef provide a basic supply of trace elements. The concentrations are chosen to prevent toxic trace element accumulation, even in less densely populated aquariums. For aquariums with trace element requirements exceeding this basic supply, we have developed our two combination products, ATI® Essential Daily Traces #A and #B. These products incorporate the latest findings on trace elements in the microgram and nanogram range, obtained through state-of-the-art ICP measurements (ICP Ultimate MS). Additional trace element requirements can arise, for example, from a very high coral population, an algae refugium, or the use of phosphate adsorbers, zeolite, or activated carbon. Essential Daily Traces #A and #B can be individually adjusted to meet the specific needs of your aquarium.

  • Essential Daily Traces #A contains the trace elements chromium, cobalt, iron, copper, manganese, nickel and zinc.
  • Essential Daily Traces #B contains the trace elements fluorine, iodine and selenium.

Essential Nitro

ATI® Essential Nitro is part of the ATI® Essentials System and ensures a sufficient nitrogen supply for corals in marine aquariums. Essential Nitro contains a balanced blend of inorganic and organic nitrogen sources. It contains little pure nitrate, but instead provides other, more readily metabolized nitrogen sources such as urea and ammonium, as well as valuable vitamins and amino acids. Essential Nitro acts as a fuel for corals and is essential for growth, polyp extension, color development, and overall vitality.

  • Ideal complement to ATI® Essentials SPS and Essentials Mixed Reef
  • Improves growth, polyp formation, and vitality of corals
  • Improved coloration of corals through active formation of chromoproteins
  • A balanced mix of organic and inorganic nitrogen sources prevents nitrogen limitations.
  • Contains amino acids, vitamins, and other organic and inorganic nitrogen sources.

Essential Phospho

ATI® Essential Phospho is part of the ATI® Essentials System and prevents phosphate and phosphorus deficiencies in marine aquariums. Phosphorus sources are essential for coral biomass growth. A phosphorus deficiency manifests as rapid tissue loss in stony corals. In aquariums with excessively low phosphate levels, Essential Phospho helps maintain the phosphate level within the target range of 0.03–0.1 mg/l.

  • Important for the building up of coral biomass
  • Prevents phosphate limitation in saltwater aquariums
  • Enables targeted increase of the phosphate content to the target range of 0.03-0.1 mg/l
