Collection: Additives

Dose What You Measure

Adding supplements without testing is guesswork. A reliable test kit tells you what your water is actually short on — then you dose to correct it and retest to confirm. That order keeps parameters stable instead of swinging.

Additives by Tank Type

• Reef and marine — calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium to replace what growing corals consume, plus trace elements.
• Planted and freshwater — complete and iron fertilizers, substrate tabs, and liquid carbon sources.
• New setups — beneficial bacteria and cycling boosters to establish biological filtration.
• Every water change — conditioners that neutralize chlorine and chloramine from tap water.

Match the additive to the livestock and plants you keep, and keep dosing consistent — small regular amounts beat large occasional corrections. Questions about building a dosing routine? Email info@jlaquatics.com.
