B-Ionic Transition Elements & B-Ionic Transition Elements PLUS+

B-Ionic Transition Elements PLUS+ changes the nutrient dynamics of reef aquaria without the use of specialized chemical media. It provides a conservative level of organic carbon, synergistically combined with trace elements to maximize heterotrophic bacterial uptake of nitrate and phosphate. B-Ionic TE Plus+ can also provide many potential benefits such as enhanced production of marine snow, and mitigation of any hydrogen sulfide release within the aquarium. Also, enhanced coral coloration, better polyp extension, and increased water clarity have been observed with the use of B-Ionic TE Plus+. This product has been formulated to prevent accumulation of the transition elements it provides. Formulated by Bob Stark in collaboration with Joe Yaiullo.

Also available is B-Ionic Transition Elements, which provides all trace element benefits of the PLUS+ without the organic carbon dosing. This product is suitable for aquariums already running below 5ppm nitrate, or for those using other forms of organic carbon dosing, such as vodka addition or organic pellet reactors.

Directions: If Nitrate concentration is less than 5ppm, or falls below 5ppm while using B-Ionic TE Plus+, use B-Ionic TE instead. For the first week, dose 1ml/40 gallons (1 drop per 2 gallons) daily. After first week, increased dose to 1ml/ 20 gallons (1 drop per gallon) daily. When adding full dose at once, add within the first few hours of photoperiod. When using dosing pump, add entire dose only when aquarium lights are on. Do not use B-Ionic TE Plus+ when using other forms of organic carbon dosing, use our B-Ionic Transition Elements instead.
