Aquaforest AF Build 50ml
Stabilise pH and Boost Coral Calcification
AF Build is a specialised reef supplement designed to accelerate the absorption of calcium and carbonate, both vital for the calcification process in hard corals. By providing the essential elements for skeletal development, it enhances coral growth rates and promotes healthy reef conditions.
In addition to supporting calcification, AF Build raises and stabilises pH, maintaining optimal levels for coral vitality. Consistent pH helps prevent long-term damage such as slowed growth, limestone algae inhibition, and complete calcification shutdown in extreme cases.
