Overview Support a healthier, more biodiverse reef ecosystem. Isol8:Si delivers a stabilized, highly soluble silicate source designed for controlled elevation of dissolved silicon in saltwater—fueling sponge growth, encouraging beneficial diatom activity in refugia, and helping stabilize young or ultra-clean systems without relying on messy additives. Key Features Bioavailable silicate for marine systems—readily utilized by sponges and diatoms. Controlled dosing—formula designed for predictable, incremental adjustments. Refugia & biodiversity friendly—supports natural microfauna pathways that polish water. Reef-safe when used as directed—compatible with corals, fish, and inverts. Blueprint integration—pairs cleanly with the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology and other Isol8/Aragonite supplements. Directions Test first: Measure dissolved silicate with a reliable low-range checker. Start low: Dose per label for total system volume. Begin at ½ dose for the first week. Ramp carefully: Increase in small steps as needed to reach a low, non-zero silicate level appropriate for your goals (sponges/refugia). Dose location: Add to a high-flow area of the sump; avoid direct contact with corals. Monitor: Track NO₃/PO₄ and glass film/diatom behavior; adjust frequency accordingly. Do not overdose. Tip: For new or “too clean” systems, alternate light silicate dosing with your bacterial program to encourage balanced biofilms. Best Practices Maintain stable reef parameters: Alk 7.5–9 dKH, Ca 420–450 ppm, Mg 1280–1380 ppm, Salinity 1.025–1.026, Temp 77–79°F. Keep nutrients modest but measurable; extreme ULNS can stall biodiversity even with added silicate. Use mechanical filtration (socks/floss) and clean it frequently as communities establish. If you see persistent nuisance diatoms in the display, reduce dosage and shift additions to the refugium while you fine-tune export. Compatibility Works alongside protein skimming, carbon/GFO (avoid adding immediately before fresh media swaps), refugia, bacterial supplements, and amino/trace programs. Space silicate dosing several hours away from strong oxidizers/sterilizers (UV/ozone/peroxide).

Overview Jump-start biological filtration the clean way. Inocul8 is a dry, free-flowing starter consortium of non-pathogenic nitrifying and supporting heterotrophic bacteria selected to rapidly seed rock, sand, and media in new builds, rescapes, and post-maintenance resets. It establishes resilient biofilms, speeds cycling, and helps stabilize DIN (ammonia → nitrite → nitrate) while improving water clarity from day one. Key Features Rapid seeding of nitrifiers and supportive strains on rock, sand, and filter media. Clean start—formulated to minimize haze while encouraging robust biofilm attachment. Cycle support—aids conversion of NH₃/NH₄⁺ → NO₂⁻ → NO₃⁻ for a smoother break-in period. Versatile use—ideal for new systems, frag tanks, QT start-ups, and after heavy cleanings. Dry & stable—easy storage, precise measuring; two sizes for any project (25 g & 75 g). Directions (System Start & Resets) Prepare a slurry: In a clean cup, mix the measured Inocul8 with tank water until smooth. Use immediately. Dose: Add per label for total system volume, distributing to the sump and over rock/media in high flow. Aeration/flow: Ensure strong circulation and surface agitation. Nutrient source: Provide a controlled ammonia source (fishless or light stocking/feeding) so nitrifiers establish. UV/ozone: Leave off for 24–48 hours after dosing to maximize attachment, then resume as normal. Repeat: For new systems, re-dose lightly per label over the first 1–2 weeks to strengthen biofilms. Best Practices Keep mechanical filtration (socks/floss/rollers) clean so loosened organics are exported. Test NH₃/NH₄⁺, NO₂⁻, NO₃⁻ during the break-in; increase bioload gradually as readings stabilize. Avoid large chemical media changes during the initial 48 hours post-dose. Pair ongoing maintenance with Captiv8 bacterial programs (e.g., Remedi8/Propag8) once the system is cycling. Compatibility Safe for reef, FOWLR, frag, and QT systems when used as directed.

Overview Bring dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN: NH₃/NH₄⁺, NO₂⁻, NO₃⁻) back into line with precision. Elimin8 DIN is a BluePrint-compatible liquid formulated for controlled reduction of nitrogen species in modern reef systems. Use it to make deliberate, stepwise adjustments that restore clarity and stability—without “bottoming out” nutrients or shocking livestock. Key Features Targeted DIN control — Tunable reductions of ammonia/ammonium, nitrite, and nitrate when dosed as directed. Clean export — Aids removal via mechanical filtration and skimming after treatment. Low-nutrient friendly — Designed for small, repeatable adjustments to avoid rapid swings. Methodology-ready — Integrates with Captiv8 BluePrint testing and dosing schedules. Two sizes — 60 mL for trials/smaller systems and 355 mL for ongoing programs. Directions Test first: Measure NH₃/NH₄⁺, NO₂⁻, and NO₃⁻ with reliable kits or a meter; set realistic targets (avoid absolute zero). Start low: Dose per label for total system volume, beginning at ½ of the recommended starting dose for the first applications. High-flow addition: Dose into a well-aerated, high-flow area upstream of fine mechanical filtration and your protein skimmer. Iterate: Re-test after each dose cycle. Make small, incremental corrections to “walk” DIN down to target. Maintain: Once in range, switch to smaller periodic doses to hold levels steady. Important: Rapid DIN drops can stress corals and fish. Adjust gradually and let testing guide your next dose. Best Practices Keep mechanical media (socks/floss/rollers) fresh during active reduction to capture particulates. Maintain strong aeration and circulation; nitrogen processing increases oxygen demand. Coordinate with your bacterial program (e.g., Remedi8/Propag8) for resilient biofilms after reductions. Avoid using immediately before large water changes or fresh chemical media swaps; dose after those events for consistent contact time. Record DIN trends to refine a stable maintenance routine.

Designed for modern, low-nutrient reefs to complement your particulate feeding—without adding haze. Key Features Fast-uptake dissolved nutrition for improved daily metabolism and recovery after fragging/shipping. Color & tissue support to help maintain rich hues and full, healthy polyp/tissue presentation. Low-nutrient friendly routine—tune small, repeatable doses to match your export capacity. Target or broadcast dosing; works alongside aminos, fatty acids, and fine particulate foods. Two sizes—355 mL for smaller systems/testing and 1006 mL for long-term or high-demand use. Directions Shake very well. Start low: Dose per label for total system volume 3–4× per week, beginning at ½ dose for 1–2 weeks. Feeding window: Target: Reduce flow briefly, add near colonies, wait 3–5 minutes, then feed particulates if desired. Broadcast: Add to a high-flow area; resume normal flow after 5–10 minutes. Export timing: Strong UV/ozone can reduce contact time—dose when lights are on and consider pausing sterilizers for ~1–2 hours. Monitor nutrients: Track NO₃/PO₄ weekly and adjust dose/frequency. Do not overdose. Tip: Alternate Coral8 Yang on feed days with your particulate coral food (staggered by a few hours) for broader coverage. Best Practices Keep reef parameters steady: Alk 7.5–9 dKH, Ca 420–450 ppm, Mg 1280–1380 ppm, Salinity 1.025–1.026, Temp 77–79°F (25–26°C). Maintain clean mechanical filtration so loosened organics are exported efficiently. Increase/decrease dosing slowly based on polyp extension, tissue fullness, and nutrient tests. Compatibility Safe for mixed reefs, clams, and NPS gorgonians (NPS often benefit from smaller, more frequent additions). Works alongside carbon, phosphate media, bacterial programs, and refugia; space dosing from oxidizers/medications by 24 hours. Skimmers may react temporarily—time your dose for best contact. Product Specifications Product: Captiv8 Reef BluePrint Coral8 Yang Format/Sizes: 355 mL and 1006 mL liquid dissolved nutrition supplement Use Cases: Routine color/growth support; post-fragging or post-shipment conditioning Methods: Target or broadcast dosing in high flow Storage/Safety: Keep sealed, out of direct light; follow label guidance regarding temperature after opening; aquarium use only; keep out of reach of children and pets. -

Overview Drive predictable nitrate and phosphate reduction with carbon dosing done right. Carbon8 aq 8.35 is a high-purity, BluePrint-compatible liquid organic carbon formulated to fuel beneficial heterotrophic bacteria that convert NO₃/PO₄ into biomass for removal via skimming and filtration. Designed for controlled, stepwise adjustments in modern reef systems. Key Features Balanced carbon source — Supports rapid microbial uptake of nitrate and phosphate without harsh swings. Clarity & polish — Proper use often yields brighter water and cleaner rock/sand as organics are processed. Low-nutrient friendly — Tune small, repeatable daily doses to maintain modest, non-zero nutrients. Methodology-ready — Integrates with Captiv8 BluePrint schedules and bacterial programs (Remedi8/Propag8). Two sizes — 355 mL for smaller systems/testing and 1006 mL for long-term or high-demand use. Doser-friendly — Ideal for automated micro-dosing after careful calibration. Directions Test first: Measure NO₃ and PO₄. Set realistic targets (avoid absolute zero). Start low: Dose per label for total system volume at ½ the recommended starting dose for the first week. Ramp carefully: Increase in small steps every 3–4 days while watching NO₃/PO₄ trends and livestock. Export matters: Run a reliable protein skimmer and keep mechanical filtration clean to remove new biomass. Maintain: Once targets are reached, shift to a steady daily dose to hold levels. Re-test weekly and adjust. Important: Avoid rapid nutrient drops. Make changes gradually and base adjustments on test results and visual response. 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. Ensure strong aeration/flow; carbon-driven bacterial growth increases oxygen demand. Dose at a consistent time each day; log NO₃/PO₄ to refine the routine. If nutrients bottom out, reduce or pause dosing and increase feeding slightly to restore balance. Compatibility Works alongside skimmers, carbon, phosphate media (tuned conservatively), UV/ozone (dose away from sterilizers), refugia, and bacterial supplements. Space additions from other liquid supplements by several minutes in a high-flow area. Not for freshwater use. Product Specifications Product: Captiv8 Reef BluePrint Carbon8 aq 8.35 Format/Sizes: 355 mL and 1006 mL liquid organic carbon Function: Supports microbial assimilation/export of nitrate and phosphate; water clarity and stability aid Use Case: Daily carbon dosing in SPS/LPS/mixed reefs and frag systems Storage/Safety: Keep sealed at room temperature, out of direct light.

Overview Prepare clean, livestock-ready saltwater with confidence. Anticip8 is a BluePrint-compatible conditioning concentrate formulated to treat new or stored seawater before use. It helps neutralize typical impurities, stabilize chemistry, and support early biofilm formation, so water changes and new-system starts go smoothly—without adding unwanted nutrients or haze. Key Features Fast water prep — Designed to condition new mix water for immediate reef use when dosed as directed. Chemistry stabilization — Helps buffer and balance freshly mixed seawater for consistent parameters. Biofilm support — Encourages healthy microbial footing in sumps, reservoirs, and new systems. Low-nutrient friendly — Does not intentionally raise NO₃/PO₄ when used correctly. BluePrint-ready — Integrates cleanly with Captiv8 dosing schedules and testing workflows. Multiple yields — Choose the concentrate size that makes 1 gallon, 5 gallons, or 16 ounces of working solution. Directions Mix saltwater first: Bring RO/DI to target salinity and temperature. Dose Anticip8: Add per label for your chosen working-solution yield (1 gal, 5 gal, or 16 oz). Stir for even distribution. Circulate & aerate: Run a pump for 30–60 minutes to ensure complete conditioning. Verify parameters: Check salinity, temperature, and pH/alkalinity as part of your normal routine. Use or store: Use immediately for water changes, or store covered with circulation. Re-dose per label if water is stored long-term. For new tanks or major resets, pair conditioned water with your bacterial program (e.g., Remedi8/Propag8 or your preferred culture). Best Practices Keep a consistent mixing reservoir routine (same RO/DI TDS, salinity, and mixing time). Rinse/rotate mechanical media after large water changes to remove loosened organics. Record batch dates and volumes to keep dosing predictable. Avoid adding other concentrates to the same container at the exact same time; stagger by several minutes in high flow. Compatibility Safe for reef, FOWLR, and frag systems when used as directed. Works with protein skimmers, carbon/PO₄ media, UV/ozone (dose in the reservoir; resume normal operation afterward). Plays well with Captiv8 BluePrint major-ion and trace programs.

Overview Remedi8 is a dry, broad-spectrum microbial inoculant formulated to reduce dissolved organics (DOC), ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, while improving water clarity in reef and fish-only marine aquariums. The curated consortium colonizes rock, sand, and filtration media, accelerating natural bio-oxidation and bio-assimilation pathways for a cleaner, more stable system. Key Features Nutrient control: Assists conversion/uptake of NH₃/NH₄⁺ → NO₂⁻ → NO₃⁻ and supports nitrate reduction via biomass assimilation Clarity boost: Lowers DOC that fuels film/algae; promotes crisp, polished water Balanced consortium: Nitrifiers + beneficial heterotrophs for robust, resilient biofilms Clean formula: No dyes, perfumes, or binders; reef-safe when used as directed Flexible use: Slurry dose to the system or spot-apply to media/rock Directions & Dosing Start conservatively; monitor nutrients (NH₃/NH₄⁺, NO₂⁻, NO₃⁻) and observe livestock. Prepare a Slurry Mix ¼ tsp (~0.5 g) per 10 gal (38 L) in a cup of tank water. Stir 1–2 minutes. New or Problem Systems (elevated nutrients/cloudy water) Dose the slurry at ¼ tsp (~0.5 g) per 10 gal (38 L) daily for 3–5 days, then test. Continue every other day for 1 week or until clarity and nutrients stabilize. Routine Maintenance / Established Reefs ¼ tsp (~0.5 g) per 20–25 gal (75–95 L) once weekly. After large water changes or heavy feeding events, add one extra maintenance dose. Best Practices Turn off UV/ozone and remove filter socks for 12–24 hours after each dose to maximize colonization. You may pause the skimmer 4–12 hours to reduce immediate export of the new bacteria. Dose into a high-flow area, sump, or directly over rock/media. Avoid simultaneous use of oxidizers/antibiotics. Resume UV/ozone the next day. Temporary mild haze after dosing is normal and typically clears within several hours. If any livestock shows stress, perform a partial water change, increase aeration, and reduce subsequent doses by 50%. Compatibility Safe for SPS/LPS/soft corals, clams, and reef-safe fishes when used as directed. Compatible with Ca/Alk/Mg regimens, amino acids, carbon sources, and phosphate management (avoid dosing at the same time as strong chemical flocculants or sterilizers). Ingredients Dry blend of marine-safe, non-pathogenic bacteria (nitrifying and beneficial heterotrophs) with inert carriers. Storage & Handling Store cool, dry, and tightly sealed. Do not refrigerate or freeze the dry powder. Use clean, dry utensils to prevent moisture ingress. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Overview Propag8 is a curated dry consortium of beneficial marine microbes formulated for frag racks, grow-out tanks, and propagation systems. It seeds stable biofilms on plugs and tiles, supports post-frag tissue recovery, and promotes a balanced microbial community that resists nuisance film and opportunistic bacteria—without adding dyes or perfumes. Key Features Targeted for propagation systems: Encourages clean biofilms on plugs, tiles, and racks Post-frag support: Aids natural mucus production and tissue recovery after cutting Balanced community: Nitrifiers + heterotrophs for robust, resilient microbiomes Clean & reef-safe: No phosphates, nitrates, binders, or artificial colors Flexible use: Slurry dip, spot application, or broadcast dosing to the system Directions & Dosing Start conservatively; observe polyp extension and nutrient trends, then adjust. Prepare a Slurry Mix ¼ tsp (~0.5 g) per 10 gal (38 L) of system volume in a cup of tank water. Stir for 1–2 minutes. For Fresh Cuts / New Frags (Dip Method) Place frags in a clean container with tank water. Add the prepared slurry and gently baste frags/rubs for 5–10 minutes. Return frags to the system; pour the remaining dip through a fine mesh into a high-flow area (optional). Broadcast to Frag / Grow-Out Systems Dose the same ¼ tsp (~0.5 g) per 10 gal (38 L) once, then daily for 3 days. For ongoing maintenance, use ¼ tsp per 20–25 gal (75–95 L) 1–2× per week. Best Practices Turn off UV/ozone and remove filter socks for 12–24 hours after dosing to improve colonization. Skimmer: You may pause for 4–12 hours to reduce immediate export. Avoid dosing simultaneously with oxidizers/antibiotics. Maintain stable temperature, salinity, and moderate flow over racks. If water clouds slightly after dosing, that’s normal and typically clears within several hours. If any livestock appears stressed, perform a partial water change and reduce the dose by 50%.

Overview Phosph8 is a clean, highly soluble inorganic phosphate supplement designed to correct ultra-low PO₄ and stabilize nutrient balance in modern reef aquariums. Maintaining a small, consistent phosphate level supports zooxanthellae metabolism, coral coloration, polyp extension, and a healthier microbial community—especially in ULNS systems with heavy export (skimmer, refugium, GAC/GFO). Key Features Ultra-pure, reef-safe phosphate—mixes clear with no dyes or perfumes Fine control for micro-adjustments; ideal for SPS-dominant systems Helps prevent “zeroed nutrients” issues (pale tissue, stalled growth, nuisance dinos tied to starvation) Plays nicely with carbon dosing and trace programs when used as directed Two sizes for nano to large systems (60 mL dropper, 355 mL bottle) Directions & Dosing Always test PO₄ before and 30–60 minutes after dosing. Typical mixed-reef targets: ~0.02–0.08 ppm (tune for your system). Start low: Add 1 drop (~0.05 mL) per 25 gal (95 L), wait, and re-test. Creep to target: Repeat small additions until your target is reached. Stabilize: Maintain with daily micro-doses based on your tank’s consumption rather than large, infrequent additions. Application: Dose into a high-flow area or sump; avoid simultaneous dosing with high-pH additives—separate by 5–10 minutes. Pro tips If using GFO or other PO₄ binders, reduce/temporarily remove while raising PO₄; media can instantly strip additions. Do not use alongside lanthanum chloride flocculants. If PO₄ overshoots, pause dosing and rely on export/water changes until you’re back in range. Compatibility Safe for corals, clams, and reef-safe fishes when used as directed. Compatible with Ca/Alk/Mg regimens, bacterial supplements, and carbon dosing (monitor your NO₃:PO₄ balance). Ingredients Ultra-pure inorganic phosphate in purified water. Storage & Handling Store at room temperature, away from light. Do not freeze. Shake gently before use. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Product Specifications Product: Captiv8 Reef BluePrint – Phosph8 Function: Raises/maintains phosphate (PO₄³⁻) Format: Liquid Sizes: 60 mL dropper bottle; 355 mL bottle
