Magnesium is added to make up for deficiencies in some of the newer brands of sea salt mixes. Potassium & Molybdenum are added to assist the symbiotic algae growing in coral and other invertebrates tissues. Corals will open more and stay attached to their skeletons better,with regular use. Phosphate & nitrate free! Contains no gluconates,EDTA, or other organics to raise DOC levels, as many competing products do. For best results use Kent Kalkwasser Mix or Concentrated Liquid Calcium first. To use add one teaspoon or capful per 50 gallons. Adding more than the recommended amount of this product is generally very safe and can be beneficial in many cases, particularly when you have heavy animal loads.

GARF HAS FOUND A SOURSE OF GREAT FLORIDA AQUACULTURE LIVE ROCK
One of the most important things that you need when you are growing tank raised Aquaculture rock is a source of invertebrates, coralline algae, and beneficial macro algae. In 1994 when we were setting up the original GARF growout tanks we were fortunate enough to be able to purchase Florida live rock. Unlike the stripped and washed versionof live rock that comes from many Pacific nations Florida live rock is full of life. When we first visited the rock farmers in Florida in 1994 we were able to visit Dale Barger as he was starting to stock his aquaculture rock farm with premium honeycomb limestone from the Bahamas. We visited several of thelive rock collectors who were harvesting Florida rock at that time and we were most impressed with Dale Barger'srock because of the heavy growth of sponges and other invertebrates. Dale was planting his rock farm at the sametime our friend Tom Frakes was planting his farm in Florida. Much of this aquaculture rock is now over five years oldand it is beautiful. When we are stocking Aragocrete Glue Reefs we want to introduce hardy, fast growing, brightly colored invertebrates. The coralline algae and invertebrates from the West Coast of Florida are able to thrive in many different water temperatures. We have been growing this batch of aquaculture rock for about two months in a 30 gallon tank with 1 - 18 in. fluorescent light bulb and two power heads. There is no skimmer on this tank and as you can see from these pictures, the rocks are covered with brilliantly colored interesting invertebrates. Several years ago when Tom Frakes was in Florida harvesting some of his rock we were able to get several batchesand many of the corals and invertebrates are still alive on this rock. Our experiments have shown us that this is thevery best type of rock to use to start a captive reef especially when you can purchase the rock directly from the collector. It is very easy to understand why rock that was grown by Dale Barger, collected by Dale Barger, and shipped by Dale Barger will arrive in much better shape than rock that has been sitting in a cardboard box for about a week :)
Florida Aquaculture Rock always has many surprisingly beautiful macro algae and sponges a growing on it. The most interesting macro algae on this piece of rock is a beautiful red Proto-Caulerpa that is proving to be very hardy in captivity.
Live rocks from this part of the Gulf of Mexico often have many species of Coralline algae growing on the same rock. On this piece of rock you can see many types of branching Coralline algae that would have surely been scrubbed off of any rock imported from the Pacific.
To the left of the Red macro algae there is a nice colony of live coral that is very hardy in captivity. These corals often live for years.
One of the best things about Florida Aquaculture rock is all the beautiful types of feather duster worms that grow so well in the Gulf of Mexico. Many of these feather duster worms reproduce in captivity.
In the years since we started testing Florida aquaculture rock we have noticed many different types of feather duster worms and interesting sponges growing on our Aragocrete live rock. It is very exciting to sit down with a magnifying glass and study the Florida Aquaculture rock when it comes in because it often has barnacles and small live corals.
One of the other benefits to using Florida aquaculture rock to seed your live reef is the fact that this rock started out as road fill. By carefully choosing the right area to plant this rock Dale Barger has created a great ecologically sound way for you have beautiful live rock. Aquaculture Rock. what we have used this combination in tanks before we have noticed that the animals from the aquaculture live rock soon to migrate to the Aragocret, and it is always fun to watch the Aragocrete Sculptures take on the purple and pink colors of coralline algae.
