Boron plays an active role in regulating the pH\nin marine systems, and maintaining the boron concentration within a narrow\nrange of the [B]NSW, relative to systems with depressed [B], typically results\nin faster growth of coralline algae and formation of aragonite in reef-\nbuilding invertebrates in most systems, when all other physical and chemical\nrequirements are met. Recent experimentation with maintaining slightly\nelevated [B] in reef aquaria indicates that enhanced production of red\nphytopigments results, improving color intensity of zooxanthellate corals with\na yellow, orange, or red base coloration. The importance of boron to reef-\nbuilding organisms is most apparent when beginning to dose it in aquaria with\ndepleted boron concentrations, and\/or in which the sea salt mixture employed\nis boron-deficient; in such cases, changes in the rate of coralline algae\ngrowth, as well as in the appearance of many corals, may be observed within\nthe first weeks of daily dosing. Maintaining boron within a range of 4 - 6 ppm\nis sufficient for long-term health, growth, and coloration of corals when all\nother physical and chemical requirements are met. The rate at which boron is\nextracted from the water is determined by the stocking density of boron-\ndepleting livestock, rate of production of weak acids that may impact\nalkalinity and pH, composition of buffer(s) employed in the system,\ncharacteristics of lighting and method(s) of filtration employed, and other\nbiological, physical, and chemical conditions; therefore, each aquarium will\nhave different requirements for the rate of boron supplementation. Once the\nrate of boron uptake in the aquarium has been determined (see opposite), the\nproper dosing rate of this supplement can be easily calculated. It is\nrecommended that a quality salt mix with the proper (not augmented) alkalinity\nand concentrations of major, minor, and trace elements be used to establish\nnatural seawater parameters in marine aquaria, providing a stable ionic\nfoundation on which to build.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eConcentrated Boron solution that improves coralline growth \u0026amp; red coloration in Zooxanthellate\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eImproves color intensity of coral tissue through incorporation into red phytopigments\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003ePromotes increased growth rates of coralline algae and skeletal growth in corals\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eACS-Reagant grade active ingredients unlike competing boron supplements\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e","published_at":"2020-07-30T02:24:51+10:00","created_at":"2020-07-30T02:24:51+10:00","vendor":"Brightwell Aquatics","type":"Fish \u0026 Aquatic Pets","tags":[],"price":22300,"price_min":22300,"price_max":22300,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":32284522774590,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"B00GB0HNLC","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Brightwell Aquatics BoroChrom - Concentrated Boron Solution for Coralline Growth and Red Coloration in Marine Aquariums 2-L","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":22300,"weight":1111,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":"0810086015238","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/pawsplanetshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B00GB0HNLC.jpg?v=1650792020","\/\/pawsplanetshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/81ldvvPPKvL.jpg?v=1622570791"],"featured_image":"\/\/pawsplanetshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B00GB0HNLC.jpg?v=1650792020","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"[Australia] - Brightwell Aquatics BoroChrom - Concentrated Boron Solution for Coralline Growth and Red Coloration in Marine Aquariums 2-L ","id":24884188872904,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1000,"width":1000,"src":"\/\/pawsplanetshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B00GB0HNLC.jpg?v=1650792020"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/pawsplanetshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B00GB0HNLC.jpg?v=1650792020","width":1000},{"alt":"[Australia] - Brightwell Aquatics BoroChrom - Concentrated Boron Solution for Coralline Growth and Red Coloration in Marine Aquariums 2-L ","id":8066505572414,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2560,"width":2560,"src":"\/\/pawsplanetshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/81ldvvPPKvL.jpg?v=1622570791"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2560,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/pawsplanetshop.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/81ldvvPPKvL.jpg?v=1622570791","width":2560}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch3\u003eBrightwell Aquatics BoroChrom - Concentrated Boron Solution for Coralline Growth and Red Coloration in Marine Aquariums\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"b\"\u003eSize:2-L In natural seawater, boron is a non-conservative major element with a\nconcentration of ~4. 54 ppm.
