    Overview Keep skeletal growth steady with laboratory-grade calcium. Isol8:Ca is an ultra-pure, stabilized calcium solution designed for the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology and test-driven reef keeping. It restores and maintains target Ca to support dense calcification in SPS/LPS corals, coralline algae, and Tridacnid clams—without adding unwanted byproducts or clouding the system. Key Features High-purity Ca for sensitive, low-nutrient reefs. Predictable concentration for precise manual or automated dosing. Synergy with Alk/Mg—pairs cleanly with Isol8/Aragonite counterparts to maintain ionic balance. BluePrint-ready—slots into Captiv8 schedules and ICP/spot-test routines. Two sizes—355 mL for extended use and 1,006 mL for standard long-term dosing. Doser-friendly—ideal for continuous micro-additions after calibration. Directions Test first: Measure Calcium (Ca) and confirm your target (commonly 420–450 ppm for mixed reefs). Calculate dose: Use the label’s dose-to-ppm relationship for your total system volume (display + sump minus displacement). Split corrections: If a large adjustment is needed, add in multiple small doses over 24–48 hours. Maintenance: Establish a daily dose that matches uptake; verify weekly and adjust. Add in high flow (sump/overflow). Do not mix in the same container with alkalinity, magnesium, or concentrated trace solutions. Bring alkalinity (7.5–9 dKH) and magnesium (1280–1380 ppm) into range before fine-tuning calcium consumption. Best Practices Keep salinity stable (1.025–1.026) and avoid large, unplanned water changes that can swing Ca. Time additions away from fresh carbon/resin swaps for consistent contact time. If precipitation/film appears, reduce single-dose size and increase dosing frequency. Record all additions; align with your BluePrint testing cadence and any ICP results. Compatibility Safe alongside skimmers, carbon, phosphate media, refugia, and bacterial/trace programs (dose at different times). Works with two-part, kalkwasser, and calcium reactors; keep additions separate and in high flow. Avoid simultaneous dosing with strong oxidizers. Product Specifications Product: Captiv8 Reef BluePrint Isol8:Ca Format/Sizes: 355 mL and 1,006 mL ultra-pure calcium solutions Function: Correction and maintenance of calcium for calcification and skeletal growth Use Case: Initial correction and ongoing daily maintenance in SPS/LPS/mixed reefs System Types: Marine/reef (test-driven major-ion management) Storage/Safety: Keep sealed at room temperature, out of direct light; aquarium use only; keep out of reach of children and pets.

    Overview Restore natural-seawater bromine with lab-grade precision. Isol8:Br is an ultra-pure, stabilized bromine supplement engineered for ICP-guided trace management within the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology. Correcting verified Br deficits helps maintain balanced halogen chemistry that supports healthy reef microbial processes and overall system stability—without impacting nutrients or water clarity. Key Features ICP-driven micro-dosing for accurate correction of measured Br shortfalls. High-purity, reef-safe formulation designed for sensitive, low-nutrient systems. Predictable response when added in small, controlled increments. BluePrint-ready—fits seamlessly into Captiv8 trace schedules alongside other Isol8/Aragonite supplements. Doser-friendly—ideal for automated micro-additions after careful calibration. Directions Test first: Obtain a recent ICP analysis and compare bromine to your target range. Calculate dose: Use the label’s dose-to-µg·L⁻¹ (ppb) relationship for your total system volume. Split corrections: If a larger increase is required, divide into multiple micro-doses over several days. Add in high flow (sump/overflow). Avoid direct contact with coral tissue. Verify: Re-test on your normal ICP cadence and convert to a small maintenance dose if ongoing uptake is observed. Do not exceed label guidance—precision matters with halogens. Tip: Dose shortly after water changes or fresh media swaps for consistent contact time before export. Best Practices Keep core parameters stable: Alk 7.5–9 dKH, Ca 420–450 ppm, Mg 1280–1380 ppm, Salinity 1.025–1.026, Temp 77–79°F. Log every trace addition and align with your BluePrint schedule. Avoid simultaneous use of strong oxidizers (peroxide/ozone) or heavy-metal removers immediately after dosing. If running fresh carbon/resins, dose after media changes for repeatable results. Compatibility Safe for reef systems when used strictly at trace levels per testing and label guidance. Works alongside skimmers, carbon, phosphate media, bacterial programs, and refugia. Not a medication and not intended for therapeutic halogen treatments. Product Specifications Product: Captiv8 Reef BluePrint Isol8:Br Format/Size: 60 mL ultra-pure bromine trace solution Use Case: ICP-verified correction and maintenance of bromine at natural seawater trace levels System Types: Marine/reef (advanced, test-driven trace management) Storage: Keep sealed at room temperature; protect from light. Safety: Aquarium use only. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

    Overview Maintain natural seawater–level barium with precision. Isol8:Ba is an ultra-pure, stabilized barium supplement designed for ICP-guided trace management within the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology. Used strictly at trace levels, it helps restore balanced seawater chemistry to support healthy calcifying communities and overall reef microbiome stability—without affecting nutrients or clarity. Key Features ICP-driven micro-dosing for accurate correction of verified Ba deficits. High-purity, reef-safe formulation tailored for sensitive, low-nutrient systems. Consistent and predictable response when added in small, measured increments. BluePrint-ready—fits into Captiv8 scheduling alongside other Isol8 and Aragonite supplements. Doser-friendly for automated micro-additions after pump calibration. Directions Test first: Obtain a recent ICP report and confirm barium relative to your target. Calculate dose: Use the label’s dose-to-ppb/µg·L⁻¹ relationship for your total system volume. Split corrections: If a larger increase is required, divide into multiple micro-doses over several days. Add in high flow (sump/overflow). Avoid direct contact with coral tissue. Verify: Re-test with ICP on your normal cadence and transition to a small maintenance dose if ongoing uptake is observed. Do not exceed label guidance—precision matters with trace elements. Tip: Time additions shortly after water changes or fresh media swaps so contact time is consistent before export. Best Practices Keep core parameters steady: Alk 7.5–9 dKH, Ca 420–450 ppm, Mg 1280–1380 ppm, Salinity 1.025–1.026, Temp 77–79°F. Log every trace addition and align with your BluePrint routine. Avoid simultaneous use of strong oxidizers (peroxide/ozone) or heavy-metal removers immediately after dosing. If running new carbon/resins, dose after media changes for repeatable results. Compatibility Safe for reef systems when used strictly at trace levels per testing and label guidance. Works alongside skimmers, carbon, phosphate media, bacterial programs, amino/trace blends, and refugia. Not a medication and not intended for non-aquarium use.
