Overview

Restore natural-seawater cobalt with precision. Isol8:Co is an ultra-pure, stabilized cobalt supplement engineered for ICP-guided trace management within the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology. Used strictly at true trace levels, it supports cobalt-dependent biochemical pathways within reef microbiota and calcifying communities—without affecting nutrients or water clarity.

Key Features

  • ICP-driven micro-dosing to correct verified Co deficits accurately.

  • High-purity, reef-safe formulation suitable for sensitive, low-nutrient systems.

  • Stable and predictable response when added in small, controlled increments.

  • BluePrint-ready—fits seamlessly alongside other Isol8 and Aragonite supplements.

  • Doser-friendly—ideal for automated micro-additions after careful pump calibration.

Directions

  1. Test first: Obtain a recent ICP analysis and compare cobalt to your target.

  2. Calculate dose: Use the label’s dose-to-µg·L⁻¹ (ppb) relationship for your total system volume.

  3. Split corrections: If a larger increase is required, divide into multiple micro-doses over several days rather than one addition.

  4. Add in high flow (sump/overflow). Avoid direct contact with coral tissue.

  5. Verify & maintain: Re-test on your normal ICP cadence and convert to a small maintenance dose if ongoing uptake is observed.

  6. 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

  • Maintain core stability: 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).

  • Log every trace addition and align with your BluePrint schedule.

  • Avoid dosing immediately alongside strong oxidizers or heavy-metal removers.

  • 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 intended as a medication or for non-aquarium use.
