The chemistry was never the bottle.

Everything in the BioForge Core+ starter kit: the START HERE batch card, three 1 L dosing bottles for Magnesium, Calcium and Alkalinity, a 1000 mL mixing beaker, and three Daily Dose packets

Traceable reef chemistry engineered for modern reef keeping. Everything you need to start dosing, chemistry, mixing system, and the documentation chain. Measured, not guessed.

WHAT'S INSIDE

A complete dosing system, not just chemistry.

  • 3 Core+ chemistry packets (ALK · CAL · MAG)
  • 3 reusable 1 L mixing bottles
  • 1 graduated mixing beaker
  • 1 precision dosing adapter
  • QR batch verification on every packet
  • Quick-start dosing guide

Tap any item for detail

One each of Core+ Alkalinity, Core+ Calcium, and Core+ Magnesium. Each packet dissolves into 1 L of RO/DI water to make stock solution. Pre-measured on calibrated balances, sealed in food-grade aluminum pouches. Every batch independently ICP-verified at Reef Labs before it ships.

Each chemistry is independent. Start with BioForge ALK alongside your current calcium and magnesium dosing and switch on your own schedule.

Color-coded by chemistry, red for ALK, green for CAL, blue for MAG. Refill by mixing a fresh packet whenever stock runs low. Built to last indefinitely.

For transferring RO/DI water into the mixing bottle. Graduated 100–1,000 mL. Reusable across every refill.

Threads onto the bottle cap. 4mm barb fitting for standard dosing pump lines (Neptune DOS, Kamoer, GHL, and others). Works for manual dosing too.

Every packet carries a QR code linking directly to the full ICP-OES report for that exact batch. Scan it before your first dose, element by element, lot by lot, publicly posted.

Mixing instructions, calibration steps, and a direct link to the dose calculator. Everything you need from first pour to first dose.

01 / MIX

Packet meets RO/DI.

One pre-measured packet makes 1 L of stock solution.

03 / REFILL

Keep the hardware.

Replace only the chemistry your reef actually consumes.

AFTER THE STARTER KIT

Refills only. No more bottles.

Your bottles, beaker, and adapter live with you forever. The only thing that ships on subscription is the chemistry, pre-measured packets, sized to your tank's actual consumption.

Starter kit gets you set up once. Refills replace only the chemistry you actually consume.

How verification works

Every BioForge batch ships with a published ICP-OES report from Reef Labs. Scan the QR code on any packet to confirm exactly what's in your chemistry, element by element, lot by lot. Before it ever touches your tank.

BioForge 4L bulk container system, three 4-liter jugs of Alkalinity, Calcium, and Magnesium

4L BULK SYSTEM

Running a bigger tank? Scale up.

How the bulk system works

The 4L Bulk System uses the same ICP-verified chemistry in larger format packets, enough to fill a 4-liter container each. Buy the container once. Then subscribe to refill packets as you dose. Same traceable chemistry, built for SPS tanks 150 gallons and up.
