Ammplify supplies an ACS grade, bio‑available nitrogen source for reef and marine aquaria that chronically test near‑zero for nitrate. Many corals, sponges, macro‑algae and nitrifying bacteria assimilate ammonium with less metabolic cost than nitrate, making small, controlled additions of Ammplify an efficient way to stabilise nutrient ratios, prevent “pale coral” syndrome and kick‑start fish‑less cycling. Each mL adds 4.30 mg total ammonia; at pH 8.2 only ~7 % is present as free NH₃.
Ammplify supports three complementary objectives:
Dose 1 mL per 10 L (≈ 0.1 mL per US gal) to raise total NH₃/NH₄ by ~0.15 ppm. Ideal for coral‑rich, low‑nutrient systems.
Dose 1 mL per 20 L (≈ 0.05 mL per US gal). Unassimilated ammonium is biologically converted, adding ~0.2 ppm NO₃.
Dose 1 mL per L (3.8 mL per US gal) for an initial 4.3 ppm total NH₃/NH₄. Redose only when both ammonia and nitrite read 0 ppm. Add to sump or AIO filter chamber, never directly onto livestock. Allow ≥ 10 min mixing before testing. Do not exceed 0.25 ppm total NH₃/NH₄ in display tanks. Heavy dosing can reduce alkalinity (‑2.3 dKH per 1 mL L ¹).

Parameter-first reef chemistry
Reef Charge product pages should communicate chemistry role before brand flourish. Keep concentration, use case, dosing logic, and cautions easy to scan so reefkeepers can act with confidence.
Make the parameter role and strength obvious first so the shopper understands what the product is actually correcting or maintaining.
Keep safe correction rhythm, tank volume context, and practical dosing logic easy to reach without slowing the sale.
Frame the product as one part of a broader reef chemistry routine that moves from adjustment into maintenance.
Use support content to clarify how trace, nutrient, and maintenance decisions relate instead of burying them in generic marketing copy.
Keep the workflow compact
Support Reef Charge products with calculator access, lineup context, and practical chemistry education that keeps decisions controlled.
Move from product fit into exact parameter math as soon as the shopper is ready for a real dosing answer.
Keep the wider lineup organized around correction, maintenance, trace support, and nutrient pathways.
Use education to reinforce safe pacing, compatibility, and routine-building after the immediate product decision.
