Fluorine is one of the main micronutrients contained in seawater. In a closed aquarium system, skimmer and filtration media remove fluorine deposits from the water, therefore its supplementation is necessary. Fluorine participates in the calcification process and supports skeletal tissue. Sodium Fluoride and Calcium Fluoride are the building material of coral skeletons, therefore fluoride supplementation is necessary in a reef aquarium. Balanced Fluoride supplementation, effectively strengthens the blue and white colouration of SPS corals, as well as highlighting the fluorescence of most corals.
Fluorine is present in seawater as fluoride. Fluorine is an essential element for corals. Besides an inhibiting effect on bacteria and algae, it is important for the growth of coral and the defence against parasites. Fluorine also has an effect on the blue coloration of many corals.
A too low fluorine concentration shows itself in dull tissue, reduced growth, colourless growth peaks or growth edges in foliaceous growing corals (e.g. Montipora species) as well as partial light sensitivity. In addition, the animals become more susceptible to parasitic infestation. The skeleton softens considerably.
Recommended Fluorine level in marine aquariums is 1.0-1.5 ppm
