KENT MARINE STARTER KITS AND SUPPLEMENTS

Product Description
Start-up kit for marine aquariums contains quality products for the three most important functions of marine fishkeeping: pH control or buffering with Pro-Buffer-dKH, trace mineral addition with Essential Elements, and detoxification of tap water and ammonia with Ammonia Detox. Pro-Buffer-dKH. Enhanced Pro-Buffer-dKH with coralline accelerator raises alkalinity or buffering capacity and automatically controls pH in any marine aquarium. An absolute necessity for keeping healthy animals. Essential Elements. A must for fish only and reef systems. Replaces biologically important essential trace minerals which are used by marine fish, invertebrates, and algae, removed through protein skimming, ozone, and especially carbon filtration. Does not contain detrimental heavy metals, phosphates, nitrates, or silicates. Does not promote undesirable algae growth. Ammonia Detox. Neutralizes ammonia, chlorine, and chloramines. Instantly "ages" tap water, allowing immediate addition of water to aquarium. Also use directly in the aquarium to detoxify ammonia. Unlike some similar products, Ammonia Detox is safe for sensitive hard and soft corals, anemones, and other invertebrates, as well as freshwater and marine fish and plants. Phosphate and nitrate free.

The Kent Marine Reef Starter Kit provides quality products for the three most important additives for marine invertebrate keeping: calcium, strontium, and iodine. Liquid Calcium. Provides bio-available calcium for healthier, more beautiful corals, hard tube worms, snails, other invertebrates, as well as coralline and other calcareous algae. Contains no gluconates, lactates, or other sugars. Strontium & Molybdenum. Provides bio-available strontium and molybdenum. Corals will open more and stay attached to their skeletons better with regular use. Contains no gluconates, other sugars, EDTA, or other organics to raise system DOC. Will not promote undesirable algae growth. Iodine. Provides bio-available iodine to reef inhabitants. Although present in salt mixes, iodine is rapidly used up in the system, and removed by protein skimming and ozone. Algae also use iodine. Concentrated Iodine Supplement replaces iodine needed for proper growth and health of invertebrates and algae. Contains a safe, stabilized form of iodine which will not destroy system bacteria.

Our Notes:  Kent Marine products are the gold standard in saltwater aquarium supplements.
