This comprehensive system comprises four canisters, each containing a precise blend of essential trace elements, organic and inorganic micronutrients, and amino acids, specifically formulated for the unique demands of closed reef aquarium environments. By harmoniously merging organic and inorganic components, this hybrid system offers the best of both worlds in a single product, empowering modern reef aquarists to create a thriving and vibrant reef ecosystem. The proprietary proportional consumption formula, developed and refined by Euro Corals, has been proven to foster exceptional coral growth and colouration, as demonstrated by the successful cultivation of remarkable coral specimens. Additionally, this innovative system includes ingredients used for the first time in the reef aquarium industry, making it even more effective and revolutionary. As the foundation of our proportional consumption reef-keeping methodology, the Modern Reef – Reef Keeping System (RKS) is complemented by Modern Reef Complete Reef Food and Polypop, ensuring a balanced and synchronized approach to reef care. Once the optimal maintenance dosage and ideal KH (carbonate hardness) level are established, this system provides a precisely calibrated supply of essential nutrients, trace elements, and amino acids proportionally linked to the consumption of KH and Ca (calcium), thereby promoting optimal reef health, colouration, and overall vitality.

• To ensure optimal dosing pump performance, it is essential to maintain uniform tubing lengths from the canisters to the dosing pump heads and from the pumps to the aquarium. This consistency will facilitate constant calibration conditions.
• Calibrate your dosing pumps according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Regularly verify the calibration every 6 months and recalibrate as necessary to maintain accuracy.
• Configure the doser to dispense equal parts of each component, with a minimum 5-10 minute interval between each dosing pump cycle. A recommended sequence is to start with BASE KH1, followed by BASE CAL, then BASE KH2, and finally BASE MAG, with a 5-10 minute gap between each cycle.
• To maximize the benefits of the Modern Reef RKS system, it is recommended to divide the daily dosage into multiple administrations throughout the day, as permitted by your dosing pump. This will ensure a consistent supply of essential trace elements to your reef aquarium, which can be rapidly consumed by your reef. Although some elements may become undetectable after a few hours, our system is designed to maintain a constant supply, preventing the "Greening Effect" caused by accumulation. By spreading the daily dosage across the day, you can optimize the unique proportional consumption formula of the Modern Reef RKS system.
• Ozone, active carbon, and other absorbers should be avoided at all costs with Modern Reef RKS! These types of media can strip the water of essential ingredients and nutrients that are vital to the health and well-being of your reef aquarium. By using these media, you may inadvertently remove the very elements that the Modern Reef system is designed to provide, rendering your investment ineffective and wasting your money. The only exception to this rule is a UV filter, which is acceptable for use in conjunction with the Modern Reef system.

Initiating the Modern Reef - Proportional Consumption RKS Method

To successfully implement our method, it is essential to first establish a stable foundation by maintaining calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and carbonate hardness (KH) levels within the recommended ranges outlined above. If necessary, utilize Modern Reef KH+, Ca+, or Mg+ to achieve these parameters.

While nitrates (No3) and phosphates (Po4) levels can be adjusted to personal preference, we strongly recommend adhering to our suggested parameters when employing the Modern Reef - Proportional Consumption RKS method.

To begin, determine the maintenance dosage of KH (carbonate hardness) by dosing equal parts of each canister daily to maintain a KH level between 7.2-8.5 dKH. Subsequently, identify your ideal KH level for your specific reef aquarium system and setup, thereby completing the proportional consumption reef keeping system.

Determining the Maintenance Dosage of KH:

1. Initiate dosing at 2.5-5 ml per 100 liters daily.
2. Gradually adjust the dosage by 1-2 ml per 100 liters daily until you achieve a stable KH level between 7.2-8.5 dKH.
3. Monitor KH levels daily using an accurate testing method, such as the Hanna Checker dKH, to ensure precise readings and adjustments.

Transitioning to Modern Reef from a Previous System:

Optimizing KH Levels for Your Reef Aquarium

Now that you've determined the maintenance dosage of KH, it's time to find the ideal KH level for your reef aquarium setup. To do this, focus on stabilizing calcium levels between 380-440ppm by dosing equal parts of calcium and alkalinity supplements. Then, test your KH levels to find the ideal range between 7.2-8.5dKH.

Tip: Once you've found the ideal KH level for your tank, you can reduce the frequency of calcium testing.

Scenario 1: Calcium Decrease

If you're dosing equal parts to maintain a KH level of 7.5, but your calcium levels are decreasing:

• Increase your equal-parts dosage to raise KH to 7.7
• Recheck calcium levels after one week
• Repeat the process if necessary until calcium levels stabilize

Scenario 2: Calcium Increase

If you're dosing equal parts to maintain a KH level of 8, but your calcium levels are increasing:

• Decrease your equal-part dosage to lower KH to 7.8
• Recheck calcium levels after one week
• Repeat the process if necessary until calcium levels stabilize

By following these guidelines, you'll be able to find the perfect balance of KH and calcium levels for your reef aquarium.
