Dietary supplement with highly concentrated fluoride. Fluorine is one of the most important micronutrients found in seawater. In a closed aquarium system, skimmers and filtration media remove fluorine deposits from the water, so its supplementation is necessary. Fluorine is involved in the calcification process and supports skeletal tissue. Sodium fluoride and calcium fluoride are the building material of the coral skeleton, so fluoride supplementation is necessary in a reef aquarium. A balanced fluoride supplement effectively enhances the blue and white coloration of SPS corals and highlights the fluorescence of most corals. Contains trace amounts of potassium and iodine.
Dosage:
10 ml Fluorum in 100 l of water increases the fluoride content by 0.1 mg/l (ppm). It is important to note that every aquarium is different and the dosage depends on the coral population and individual needs. The recommended fluoride content in a saltwater aquarium is 1.0 - 1.5 mg/l (ppm). Recommended dosage: 0.3 ml/100 l of water daily
Dosage should be based on microelement consumption. Note that each aquarium is different and the final dosage depends on the coral population and the individual needs of the aquarium. Both a deficiency and an excess of micronutrients affect the aquarium inhabitants, so the dosage should be selected and adjusted based on regular water tests in the Aquaforest laboratory.

Here are the instructions for unpacking and acclimating Berghia snails:
- Berghia snails are specialized feeders that only eat Aiptasia sp. It is important to always have enough Aiptasia for them or to pass them on in a timely manner.
- They are less suitable for larger aquariums with many fish, but if necessary they can be placed in the evening with the lights turned off using the transfer pipette.
- Direct contact between snails and Aiptasia should be avoided as this can lead to the death of the snails. The snails must make contact with the Aiptasia themselves.
- Berghia snails are ideal for controlling Aiptasia in small aquariums with peaceful fish or in separate "treatment aquariums".
- The snails delivered are not yet fully grown and can, if necessary, be fed in a separate aquarium until they reach the desired size.
- To open the Styrofoam box, simply pull on the blue ribbon. The insulated packaging does not need to be removed from the box. Allow the temperatures to equalize for around 10 minutes by placing the unopened transport container in the aquarium.
- Carefully unscrew the white lid anti-clockwise. The transport container may be full of sea water and individual snails may be stuck to the lid. If this happens, place the lid in a small bowl of sea water from the aquarium.
- Use the transfer pipette provided to remove the snails from the container and transfer them to the aquarium. Repeat the process with all snails.
- The insulated box is recyclable and can be disposed of as recyclables or used for other purposes.
- In case of a complaint, we ask for an email on the day of arrival with a photo of the snail in the transport cup for a replacement.
