Seachem Reef Pack: Fundamentals

Seachem Reef Pack: Fundamentals is a foundational supplement kit that gives new reef keepers the three things stony corals need most: calcium, carbonates, and the vitamins and trace elements that drive vitality and color. Calcium and carbonates build coral skeletons, and if either runs low, growth stalls and coral health declines. This pack bundles Reef Complete, Reef Carbonate, and Reef Plus so you can dial in a simple, complete dosing routine from day one. Browse our full range of reef additives and supplements and the rest of the Seachem lineup.

What's in the Pack

• Reef Complete. A concentrated ionic calcium supplement that restores and maintains calcium to natural seawater levels without affecting pH, with magnesium and strontium included.
• Reef Carbonate. A concentrated carbonate and bicarbonate source that holds up alkalinity, the other half of the calcium and carbonate balance corals depend on.
• Reef Plus. Vitamins, amino acids, and trace elements that boost coral vitality, health, and color, which in turn supports faster growth.

Why It Works for Beginners

• Covers the essentials. Calcium, alkalinity, and trace nutrition in one simple kit.
• Balanced approach. Reef Complete and Reef Carbonate keep the calcium and alkalinity relationship in check.
• No guesswork on what to buy. The three core supplements every reef needs, bundled together.
• Reef safe. Formulated for saltwater reef systems and the corals in them.

How to Use

Test calcium and alkalinity regularly and dose to your results. Use Reef Complete to keep calcium in the natural seawater range and Reef Carbonate to maintain alkalinity, adding them at separate times or spots in the tank so they do not react with each other. Dose Reef Plus a few times a week for vitamins, amino acids, and trace elements. Follow the dosing chart on each bottle for exact amounts, and adjust gradually as your corals grow and demand more.
