Aiptasia XAiptasia X




In an exciting development for reef-keepers Red Sea has developed a unique patent pending formula to treat the pest anemones Aiptasia sp., Anemonia majano and Boloceroides sp.

Affecting almost every reef aquarium, Aiptasia (otherwise known as glass anemones), are often introduced via live rock or corals and can quickly reach plague proportions in marine aquaria, destroying corals and other marine livestock with devastating effect.



Existing treatments are often unsuccessful as when threatened Aiptasia quickly retract into holes in the rock and release planula (larvae) in to the aquarium which can rapidly develop in to full anemones. Additionally any part of the anemone’s body left attached to a rock can regenerate into a full anemone. Many treatments can therefore lead to a proliferation rather than the removal of Aiptasia.

Research and development work carried out by Red Sea has led to the development of Aiptasia-X, a product which overcomes the problems usually associated with Aiptasia treatments thanks to its unique formula.

Aiptasia-X consists of natural components which form a uniquely thick, adhesive material. Instead of causing the Aiptasia to feel threatened, the unique formula is sensed as food stimulating the anemone to expand and ingest the material. The adhesive form of the treatment makes both the application of the material easy as well as sealing the anemone’s mouth preventing any release of planula. Within minutes of applying the material the Aiptasia will implode, eradicating both the anemone and its planula.

Red Sea’s new treatment is completely reef-safe and any material not ingested by the Aiptasia is harmless to sessile invertebrates. Excess material will decay harmlessly over time without any adverse consequences.

Easy to use and highly effective, Aiptasia-X provides a solution long sought-after by almost every reef-keeper at one time or another in the life of their aquarium.

The Aiptasia-X kit includes a 60ml bottle of material plus an applicator set consisting of a syringe with 2 (straight and angled) lock-on applicator tips enabling treatment of even the most inaccessible of anemones. The 60ml provided in the kit should be sufficient to treat approximately 100 Aiptasia anemones.

Red Sea Reef Grow KitRed Sea Reef Grow Kit

Reef Grow Kit includes the 3 essential supplements required for sustained reef growth. Calcium. Magnesium and Coral Buff (KH)
Corals, coraline algae giant clams etc, grow their skeletons, shells and other structures by forming calcium carbonate (CaC03) from the elements that are in the seawater. Calcium Carbonate is therefore the major building block of all calcifying organisms in the reef environment.
In a healthy growing reef both calcium and carbonates (the buffering component of seawater measured as alkality) are constantly being depleted.
The presence of magnesium in the seawater effects the formation of the calcium carbonate and therefore must be maintained in the correct ratio with calcium and alkalinity at all times.

Red Sea Reef Success Calk 500gRed Sea Reef Success Calk 500g
The ideal calcium replenisher, Easy to use, easy to dose, easy for success.

Calk is the result of continuous research into hard coral growth, the goal of which was to develop a superior alternative to kalkwasser, calcium reactors or calcium chloride supplements.

Calk safely and simply replenishes the calcium and carbonate as utilized by reef-building correct proportions and at the exact rate that they are ken out of the aquarium water. Calk is dosed by monitoring the calcium and alkalinity of the water with accurate test kits. An Alkalinity Pro test kit is provided free with each 500 grams of calk.

When used together with Success Coral Trace, all of the elements found in coral skeletons are provided in the correct ratios.

success Calk does not affect pH or cause any undesirable effects.

A well stocked 75gl(300ltr) aquarium will require approximately 0.2oz(5gr) of Calk per day. 28 grams of Calk added to reef aquarium plus the corresponding amount of Coral Trace builds 10 grams of coral skeleton.
