Garlic Xtreme
Garlic Xtreme contains a powerful source of garlic that can serve
many purposes in aquariums. Used as a food soak, Garlic Xtreme is a
strong attractant, enticing finicky eaters to begin feeding sooner.
Additionally, Garlic Xtreme may be used directly in aquarium if fish
are not eating. Garlic Xtreme contains no artificial ingredients or
steroids, and does not need to be refrigerated!
|
 |
Directions:
Add 2 drops Garlic Xtreme per teaspoon of fish food each
time you feed. Do not feed more than can be eaten in a five
minute period. Use particularly if parasites are present or
fish have visible wounds or infections. If fish are not
eating, Garlic Xtreme may be also added to the aquarium at
the rate of 1 drop per 10 gallons.
Considerations for use:
Kent Garlic Xtreme is an all natural food additive for all
ornamental fishes. It is a natural attractant for fish and
will help cause finicky eaters to take food. Garlic is safe
for all species of marine and freshwater fishes and plants,
live corals, and other invertebrates. Because Garlic Xtreme
is very strong and fish are extremely sensitive to chemical
cues and scents in the water, it's not recommended that you
exceed 2 drops per feeding, or fish may become confused. For
optimal nutrition, feed your fish Kent Platinum foods with
Zoecon technology. Kent foods combine high-quality marine
sources of protein with essential vitamins and minerals, and
contain no hormones, steroids, or artificial color
enhancers.
Active Ingredients:
99% Allium Sativum Extract (Garlic Juice), Citric Acid and
Ascorbic Acid (as preservatives).
Precautions:
Not for human consumption. Keep out of reach of children! |

Liquid Calcium
Concentrated Liquid Calcium provides bio-available calcium for
lush growth of purple, pink and green calcareous algaes, snails,
hard tube worms and clams. Corals will open more and stay attached
to their skeletons better, with regular use. Phosphate & nitrate
free! Contains no gluconates, EDTA, or other organics to raise DOC
levels, as many competing products do. Concentrated Liquid Calcium
alone can provide all the calcium your reef will need, but for
maximum results, use Kent Kalkwasser Mix first, then raise calcium
level with this product. Strontium addition via use of Kent Marine
Strontium & Molybdenum Supplement is absolutely necessary. Use of
Coral•Vite, and Essential Elements are beneficial, as well.
|
 |
Directions:
Add ¼ to 1 teaspoon (1/4 to 1 capful or 1.25 to 5 ml) per 50 gallons
(190 l) of tank capacity each day, based on animal load. Since
animals use calcium, and gallons do not, regular testing of calcium
level by a good calcium test kit (HachTM brand is recommended) is
advised. Adjust amount of addition of the product to achieve a
calcium level of about 400 mg/l. A higher level may result in rapid
calcium compound precipitation and deposits which can possibly be
destructive to pumps and other sensitive system equipment. It is
recommended that you regularly check impellers and other delicate
equipment for calcium deposits if you run higher (above 400 mg/l)
system calcium levels! For best results adjust system KH to 8 to 10
dKH with Superbuffer-dKH or Marine Aquarium pH•Buffer.
Calcium Testing Suggestion:
Calcium testing in marine systems is fraught with difficulties. Test
kits generally don’t work well in the ranges that we run in reefs
and many ions in marine water interfere with the kit. If your
calcium level does not make sense, try diluting the aquarium water
sample 50/50 with distilled, deionized or R/O water and testing.
Multiply the result by 2. This will both save on valuable reagents
in your kit and generally give a more accurate reading. (You may
want to consult with the kit manufacturer to determine that doing
this will give valid results with your brand of kit).

Essential Elements
Kent Marine Essential Elements replaces biologically important trace
minerals which are removed by marine fish and invertebrates, and
removed through protein skimming, ozone, and especially carbon
filtration. Designed for fish only and reef systems. Essential
Elements is unmatched in its ability to increase vigor and color!
Does not contain detrimental heavy metals, phosphates, nitrates, or
silicates. Does not promote undesirable algae growth.
|
 |
Directions:
Add 1 teaspoon (1 capful or 5 ml) per 50 gallons every 1 to 2 weeks,
depending on the amount of water changes done. Also add immediately
after carbon use. Do not dose with Kalkwasser, add directly to tank
or sump.
Considerations for use:
1) First use an excellent grade of synthetic marine salt (of course
Kent Sea Salt is the finest available, but there are some other
excellent salts on the market). Some salts are made from evaporated
seawater and contain dead plankton and other heavy organics that
will foul the water from the beginning. Cheap salt is no bargain!
For optimum results, use water prepared by reverse osmosis
(particularly in mini-reefs), however dechlorinated tap water will
work. The amount of Essential Elements needed depends on the amount
of water changed regularly. If you do frequent water changes, then
add Essential Elements every 2 weeks. If you do not, then add
weekly.
2) Use Kent Marine Aquarium pH•BUFFER or Superbuffer-dKH to maintain
alkalinity at about 10 dKH (do not allow it to go below 8 and don’t
exceed 12). This will provide proper pH stability, and still not
cause heavy precipitation of important minerals, such as calcium and
strontium.
3) For mini-reefs, the amount of calcium, strontium and iodine are
not sufficient to supply their heavy use by living corals and other
invertebrates. Use Kent Kalkwasser Mix, Concentrated Liquid Calcium,
or Turbo-Calcium to supply needed calcium. Use Strontium and
Molybdenum or Turbo-Strontium to provide heavy amounts of strontium.
Kent Coral-Vite will supply rubidium, lithium, barium and other
important minerals as well as essential vitamins to the reef. Coral-Vite
and Essential Elements are designed to work together in a reef
environment.
4) Use reverse osmosis water for topping off for evaporation.
5) Use this product regularly to maintain trace mineral levels which
will be used by fish and algae and removed by carbon, resin, and pad
filtration.
Contents:
Inorganic mineral salts of aluminum, boron, bromine, calcium,
chromium, cobalt, copper, iodine, iron, lithium, magnesium,
manganese, molybdenum, nickel, potassium, selenium, sulfur,
strontium, tin, vanadium, and zinc in a base containing deionized
water and EDTA.

Phytoplex
Kent Phytoplex is a highly concentrated complex of aqua cultured,
naturally occurring marine phytoplankton • It contains
Nannochloropsis, Tetraselmis and Isochrysis sp. Tahitian ranging in
size from 2 to 15 microns • Phytoplex provides necessary proteins,
carbohydrates, and lipids for live hard & soft corals, tube worms,
clams and other invertebrates • It is rich in the omega-3 fatty
acids, DHA and EPA and is useful in feeding rotifers and other
plankton and in raising larval fish. Phytoplex is grown in cold
saltwater under laboratory conditions. It contains over 3 billion
cells per capful and is typically about 15 times as concentrated as
competing live cultures, meaning that one 8 oz. bottle of Phytoplex
has more phytoplankton cells than 1 gallon of the competition. It is
free of viruses, toxins and heavy metals which can be a problem when
using live algae cultures, cultured in outdoor ponds. Phytoplex
contains Nannochloropsis, a small green flagellate and Tetraselmis,
a large green flagellate both containing high EPA lipid levels as
well as high protein contents. It also contains Tahitian Isochrysis,
a small yellow flagellate which is rich in protein, carbohydrates
and DHA lipids. Phytoplex is very useful in SPS and soft coral
propagation as well as overall reef maintenance.
|
 |
Directions:
Shake well immediately before use, Important: Invertebrate foods
should be used sparingly in a marine aquarium, to prevent loss of
water quality! Add 1 to 2 teaspoons per 50 gallons (1 capful from 8
or 16 oz. bottle, or 5 ml = 1 teaspoon) in an area of high water
flow. Feed daily or several times weekly, depending on animal load.
(Tip: Nitrite testing will warn of overdosing.) Target Method:
Individual animals may be targeted with this product and this is the
most efficient method. It also causes less pollution in the
aquarium. To do this, purchase a plastic syringe at any drug store.
Fill the syringe with Kent Phytoplex and dispense, as necessary
where the product will flow over the animal. Do not touch the animal
with the syringe. Do not contaminate this product with aquarium
water by inserting syringe into this container!
Considerations for use:
For SPS or soft coral propagation, Kent Phytoplex can be used daily.
For best results, use Coral Accel simultaneously. Keep a close watch
on water quality and do not overfeed! Feed Micro•Vert once weekly in
lieu of Coral Accel on that day. Continue your normal regimen of
Kent® Kalkwasser, Tech CB and Coral-Vite. Kent Marine Essential
Elements should be used simultaneously to replace those minerals
lost to protein skimming and carbon or resin filtration. Tech•I
Iodine will provide excellent results. Live corals require strong
lighting, with proper spectrum and strong water movement in a well
established aquarium. Regular water changes with Kent Sea Salt are
encouraged. Use Kent Marine Superbuffer-dKH or new Pro•Buffer dKH to
control alkalinity, prevent pH swings, and encourage deposition of
new coral structure.
Active Ingredients:
Nannochloropsis, Tetraselmis and Isochrysis sp. Tahitian. (All aqua
cultured, naturally occurring marine phytoplankton.)

Chromaplex
|
 |
Directions:
Shake well immediately prior to use! Add 1 to 2 teaspoons (5
to 10 ml, or 1 to 2 capfuls) per 50 gallons aquarium water
in an area of high water flow, or by target feeding
(recommended). Feed several times weekly, depending on
animal load. For best results, see Use and Interaction
section on opposite sidebar.
Considerations for use:
ChromaPlex contains a proprietary blend of phytoplankton
which are aquacultured under precisely-controlled conditions
to produce high quality and consistency. The unique blend of
compounds provided by phytoplankton enables filter feeders
to better utilize amino and fatty acids, making them more
bioavailable to the organisms and increasing metabolism
efficiency, enabling animals to grow more quickly with the
nutrients at hand. The constituent algae have been shown to
have characteristics which enhance immune systems and
protect sensitive tissue from the harmful effects of
exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Kent Marine ChromaPlex is
intended for use with all types of filter feeding marine
invertebrates. For best results, alternate use with Kent
PhytoPlex, Micro•Vert, and Coral•Accel, to provide a
full-range of nutrients for rapid tissue growth and animal
health. Studies have shown that a diet high in carotenoids
intensifies the coloration and pigmentation of target
specimens, which may help protect sensitive tissues from
harmful UV light and improve the animals’ overall health. As
when feeding any food product, pay close attention to water
quality and do not overfeed. Because the majority of filter
feeding target organisms are at least partially
light-dependant, it’s important to illuminate them with
powerful lighting of the correct spectral composition and
maintain water parameters within recommended ranges for best
results with any product. Perform regular water changes and
use a good protein skimmer.

ZooPlex
The first aquarium product of its’ kind, ZooPlex is a suspension of
whole bio-engineered marine zooplankton raised in a remote area of
the world • Animal size is approximately 800 microns, ideal for
filter-feeding marine invertebrates as well as planktivorous fish •
Provides incredibly high concentrations of Omega-3 fatty acids and
carotenoid pigments • Contains essential amino acids, fiber, and
high levels of color-enhancing compounds • Surpasses brine shrimp
nauplii in nutritional profile; may be used as a complete brine
shrimp nauplii replacement • Contains no yeast or sugars!
|
 |
Directions:
Shake well immediately prior to use! Add 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10
ml, or 1 to 2 capfuls) per 50 gallons aquarium water in an area of
high water flow, or by target feeding. Feed several times weekly,
depending on animal load. For best results, see Use and Interaction
section on opposite sidebar.
Considerations for use:
Never before have reef aquarium hobbyists been presented with such a
break through in the nutrition of filter feeding invertebrates,
planktivorous fishes, and fish and invertebrate larvae. Omega-3
fatty acids and carotenoid pigments have been shown to greatly
increase immune efficiency, growth rate, and coloration of aquatic
animals. The species of zooplankton used in ZooPlex is rich in
Omega-3 fatty acids, biological pigments, and protein. ZooPlex
provides reef hobbyists with a natural zooplankton food source, one
that is readily accepted by all types of LPS, SPS, and soft
(leather) corals, as well as polyps, clams and other bivalves, and
many species of marine fish (from gobies to juvenile angelfish and
butterflyfish). Kent Marine ZooPlex is intended for use with all
types of filter feeding marine invertebrates, as well as
planktivorous fishes. For best results with invertebrates, alternate
use with Kent PhytoPlex, ChromaPlex, Coral-Accel, and Micro•Vert to
provide a full-range of nutrients. Studies have shown that most
ornamental marine organisms have a wide-ranging diet in the wild,
which provides essential nutrients for a naturally long and healthy
life. It is therefore all the more important to provide captive
marine organisms with a varied diet, rather than feeding the same
type of food day after day; in this manner, natural feeding habits
and nutritive needs are provided for in an aquarium environment. As
when feeding any food product, pay close attention to water quality
and do not overfeed.
ZooPlex contains a species of zooplankton that is harvested in a
remote region of the world.

Micro-Vert Invert Food
Kent Micro Vert contains a nutritionally balanced diet for corals,
sponges, anemones, gorgonians, feather dusters, clams and other fine
filter feeders. It is rich in vitamins and natural minerals from
spirulina and kelp. Other products have not been properly preserved
and smelled rotten, or were preserved with harsh, non food grade
chemicals that smell like medicated mouthwash. Who wants to put
these products into their expensive and sensitive marine aquarium?
Kent Micro•Vert is properly preserved, with preservatives reserved
for human food use. It has a long shelf life without refrigeration
and will provide superior results, just smell the difference!
|
 |
Directions:
Shake well immediately before use, Important: Invertebrate foods
should be used sparingly in a marine aquarium, to prevent loss of
water quality! Add 1 to 3 drops per gallon of aquarium water, up to
3 times a week (this is equal to 1/2 to 1-1/2 teaspoons or capfuls
in a 55 gallon aquarium) (Tip: Nitrite testing will warn of
overdosing.) Target Method: Individual animals may be targeted with
this product and this is the most efficient method. It also causes
less pollution in the aquarium. To do this, purchase a plastic
syringe at any drug store. Fill the syringe with Kent Micro Vert
Invertebrate food and dispense, as necessary where the product will
flow over the animal. Do not touch the animal with the syringe. Do
not contaminate this product with aquarium water by inserting
syringe into this container!
Considerations for use:
At a minimum supply additional calcium through Kent Marine
Kalkwasser Mix, Liquid Calcium or Turbo-Calcium and use Strontium &
Molybdenum Supplement. Kent Marine Essential Elements and Coral-Vite
will greatly enhance the keeping of marine invertebrates. If large
numbers of invertebrates are kept, also use Kent Tech•I to supply
additional iodine. Live corals require strong lighting, with proper
spectrum and immaculately clean systems. Regular water changes are
encouraged. Use Kent Marine Superbuffer-dKH to control alkalinity
and prevent pH swings.

Coral - Vite
Kent Coral-Vite is the premium hard & soft coral vitamin &
mineral supplement. It provides exotic trace minerals and complex
nutrients for health and vigor and to stimulate growth in corals,
anemones, gorgonians, and desirable marine algae. It contains no
detrimental heavy metals, gluconates or other sugars, phosphates,
nitrates, or silicates. Coral-Vite does not promote undesirable
algae growth. Our goal is to provide SLR or Sustained Long-term
Results. To this end, Coral-Vite makes the lightest possible use of
EDTA and preservatives. These ingredients are necessary, however, to
make sure you get a fresh, potent product.
|
 |
Directions:
Add 1 to 2 teaspoons per 50 gallons of tank capacity every week
depending on animal load (1 capful, or 5 ml = 1 teaspoon). Do not
dose from the same container as Kalkwasser, but use simultaneously
and add directly to tank or sump. Complements Kent Marine Essential
Elements.
Considerations for use:
1) First use an excellent grade of synthetic marine salt (of course
Kent Sea Salt is the finest available, but there are some other
excellent salts on the market). Some salts are made from evaporated
seawater and contain dead plankton and other heavy organics that
will foul the water from the beginning. Cheap salt is no bargain!
For optimum results, use water prepared by reverse osmosis
(particularly in mini-reefs), however tap water treated with
Chlorinex or Ammonia Detox will work.
2) Use Kent Marine Aquarium pH•BUFFER or Superbuffer-dKH to maintain
alkalinity at about 10 dKH (do not allow it to go below 8 and don’t
exceed 12). This will provide proper pH stability, and still not
cause heavy precipitation of important minerals, such as calcium and
strontium.
3) Although Coral-Vite contains strontium and calcium, you should
use separate additives for these for a synergistic effect. Tanks
with large numbers of soft corals, crustaceans or macro algae will
require the Concentrated Iodine or Iron supplements as well. Use
Kent Kalkwasser Mix, Concentrated Liquid Calcium, or Turbo-Calcium
to supply needed calcium. Use Strontium and Molybdenum or
Turbo-Strontium to provide heavy amounts of strontium. Kent Coral-Vite,
this product, will supply needed rubidium, lithium, barium and other
important minerals as well as essential vitamins to the reef. Coral-Vite
and Essential Elements are designed to work together in a reef
environment.
4) Use reverse osmosis water for topping off for evaporation.
Note:
Live corals also require strong lighting, with proper spectrum and
immaculately clean systems. Regular water changes are encouraged.
Coral-Vite is safe for use with or without ozone and will provide
excellent results in either case. More frequent addition may be
required due to ozone use.
