Equipment and care for your reef aquarium

A reef aquarium thrives on stable conditions. Stony corals constantly consume calcium, KH and magnesium, nutrients need to stay within the right range, and lighting, flow and filtration should run reliably without you having to readjust them every day.

That is why we have organised the categories the way you think day to day: water care and filtration for stable parameters, equipment for running the tank, and everything around the coral for feeding and new frags. If you are not sure what suits your tank, just ask us.

Frequently asked questions
Which brands does Premium Reefing stock for equipment and care?

We stock Red Sea, aquaLEDs, ATI, Équo, Fauna Marin, NYOS, Korallenzucht, Focustronic, Oceamo, Hanna Instruments, Maxspect, Panta Rhei, Prodibio and Gryphon. The range is deliberately focused: we only take on manufacturers whose products we use ourselves or know well.

Which equipment do you use yourselves?

In our systems, Oceamo supplies calcium and KH, Focustronic measures and doses, and calibration is done with solutions from Hanna Instruments. Trace elements, bacteria and ICP analysis come from Fauna Marin. Lighting is provided by aquaBAR LED bars from aquaLEDs and ATI Straton X, with the Red Sea ReefMat as fleece filter plus return pumps and skimmers from Red Sea. You will find an overview under Our setup.

What do I need for the basic supply of a reef aquarium?

Apart from a good sea salt, this mainly means calcium, KH and magnesium, which stony corals consume as they grow. You also need tests to measure consumption and adjust the dosing. If demand is higher, a dosing pump is worthwhile.

Can I get advice before buying?

Yes. Tell us your tank volume, your livestock and the equipment you currently use, and we will tell you what makes sense and what you can do without.
