Thanks Folks for starting a new thread, I'm confident that the new Red Sea Reef Care program is going to be the way forward for modern Reef Keeping.
I know it will be a little while before you get this State side but it will be worth the wait.
I will do may best to answer any questions you might have about the Reef Care Program but rest assured I can liaise with Red Sea's top scientist on this and after all he is the guy who headed up the research for 5 years so I guess he'll know the answers for sure.

Not sure if you can answer this, but I am more curious than anything.
I was briefly reading through the new RCP pdf and was interested about the different salinty and CA,Mg,dKH ratios to achieve specific growth rates. The coral growth table states, higher salinity (35 ppm) and higher CA,Mg,dKH levels will stimulate SPS growth. Where as, lower nutrient/lower CA,Mg,dKH levels give SPS coral more color? You would think the higher levels would also produce enhanced coloration? I mean, do you go for more growth or more coloration? How about both
Good find Richard! It's missing the PDF file for the Reef Care Package though.
I noticed that in the RCP pdf file too. I hadn't heard that before.

I already try keep my CA at about 440, Kh at 10 and Mg at 1400. After reading that, I am going to raise CA a bit and Kh to 12 and see what happens in the new tank. Starting with all frags of SPS.

Hi Folks, it's good to see that the Reef Care Program is all ready generating a lot of interest.
Just a couple of points of interest:
Foundation Elements of Calcium, Carbonates and Magnesium are biologically balanced at the levels Red Sea suggests in both the new Red Sea Coral Pro and the Red Sea salts complimenting the Reef Care Program.
The one that you'll need to look at is the Algae program, this will assist with the growth but you are maintaining levels of No3 and Po4 with the Reef Care Program not eliminating it like some of our competitors products.
So let the debate start!

Hi ReefMack,
On page 10 under the heading important information there is a table for the high low range test, the full sample being the low range the diluted sample being the high range, we'll see if we cant get the instructions highlighted to reflect this or relocate the table.
Red Sea Kev
Hi Kev and thanks! I had a feeling that that was why the two lines in the table, but it wasn't clear. It's possible it was explained and I just didn't see it.

OK Folks, here we go the news you wanted, the Reef Care Program is right behind the New Red Sea Salts.
Your looking at this program being available in the States by mid December so it won't be long and it will go hand in hand with the New Salts for folks wanting low nutrient systems or rapid growth or fragging system.
The Reef Care Program was only launched in the UK last week and the comments have been fantastic, already people who have used the new
No3 Po4-X have been amazed by the impact it's had on systems with Cyno, I've had SPS keepers saying how well the iodine, potassium and Iron test kits work and the list is growing by the day.

Not yet - many of us are waiting for it.
