The Ultralith system contains the following products:
1. Ultralith Marine Zeolite Mix
2. UltraMin S Basic Nutrient and Trace element solution
3. Ultrabak Bacterial food, Carbon and Vitamin source
4. UtraBio specially formulated blend of different bacterial strains for rapid
nutrient reduction
Additonal additives can then be employed if required or desired
5. Ultra Amin Food and color booster for SPS/LPS corals based
6. Ultra Carb activated carbon
7. UltraOrganic Solution with organic trace elements and Nutrients
8. Powertrace 1-4 Trace elements for specific additions (4 solutions)
The Ultralith system has to be adjusted to each tank and requires a certain discipline. The basic system is designed for modern reef tanks with mixed livestock. More extreme, but still naturally looking colors can be achieved with higher dosing.
The Ultralith system needs some time to achieve optimal results and should therefore be started slowly and carefully. Patience is perhaps the most important prerequisite for a successful start
with the Ultralith system.
How does the Ultralith system work in the Aquarium?
Ultralith removes Ammonium and Ammonia from the water and binds it to its mineral structure. The specially formulated bacterial strains (UltraBio) will colonize the mineral grains and use the bound nutrients, thereby avoiding the buildup of Nitrate in the Aquarium. Ultralith also removes certain trace elements from the water, which can be replenished with our specially formulated trace element solutions (Ultra Trace 1-4) and our general Nutrient and Trace element solution
(UltraMin S).
Ultralith does not remove phosphates directly from the water. However, by using Ultralith, skimming efficiency, bacterial as well as coral growth will be increased, thereby removing phosphate from the water. The result are concentration that are below the detection limit of standard hobbyists aquarium tests. The trick, or rather the success of the method is to maintain extremely nutrient poor conditions and to add exactly those nutrients and trace elements, which are necessary to maintain maximum growth rates and coloration. Only through additions of bacteria, nutrients and trace elements can the corals be maintained at optimal conditions.
In the natural reef environment the corals have the necessary amount of nutrients constantly available, although the water is basically devoid of any measurable nutrients. Such conditions are simulated with our Ultralith system, growth and coloration of the corals can be influenced by dosing of trace elements and nutrients.
So as you can see the Fauna System is quite different than others on the market and has its success well founded in the European respected market for its simplicity of use combined with great success.
