ATI Essentials Mixed Reef Set 2x10l Highly concentrated two-part reef system for mixed reef aquariums
ATI Essentials Mixed Reef is a highly concentrated two-part dosing system developed for healthy coral growth, optimal metabolism, and vibrant coloration in mixed reef aquariums. Based on experience from tens of thousands of ICP laboratory analyses, the formula has been continuously refined to provide a modern and highly effective solution for reef aquarium supplementation.
This advanced system supplies all major elements and essential trace elements while helping maintain natural water chemistry and preventing ionic imbalance.
- Supplies all major elements including calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, potassium, strontium, boron, bromine, fluorine, and sulfur
- Provides essential trace elements without accumulation
- Supports coral growth, coloration, and metabolism
- Helps reduce nitrate and phosphate levels
- Equal dosing of both solutions
- Approximately 5 times more concentrated than traditional Balling systems
- Ready to use without preparation

#1 KH Complex
- Contains 142,500 °dKH per 10L bottle
- 14,250 °dKH per liter
- Contains fluorine and sulfur
- Contains iron, iodine, and selenium
- Supports nutrient reduction
#2 Calcium Complex
- Contains 1,000,000 mg calcium per 10L bottle
- 100,000 mg calcium per liter
- Contains boron, bromine, potassium, magnesium, and strontium
- Contains cobalt, iron, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, rubidium, vanadium, and zinc
Dosage
- Dose equal or nearly equal amounts of both solutions
- Recommended dosage: 3–7 ml per 100 liters daily per solution
- Adjust dosing according to calcium and alkalinity consumption
Daily Calcium Consumption Guide
| Calcium Consumption (ppm) | Daily Dosage #2 |
|---|---|
| 1 ppm | 1 ml / 100L |
| 2.5 ppm | 2.5 ml / 100L |
| 5 ppm | 5 ml / 100L |
Important Notes
- Crystals may form in #1 KH Complex at low temperatures
- Dissolve crystals by warming the bottle to approximately 45°C
- For operating temperatures below 20°C, dilute both solutions 1:1 with RO water
