Overview

Replenish true trace-level copper with precision. Isol8:Cu is an ultra-pure, stabilized copper solution designed for ICP-guided trace management within the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology. Used correctly at natural seawater levels, it supports copper-dependent enzymatic pathways in corals and reef microbiota—without elevating nutrients or clouding the system.

Key Features

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

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

  • Predictable concentration for consistent manual or automated micro-additions.

  • BluePrint-ready—integrates cleanly with Captiv8 scheduling alongside other Isol8/Aragonite supplements.

  • Two sizes—60 mL for small systems/trials and 355 mL for ongoing programs.

Directions

  1. Test first: Obtain a recent ICP analysis and confirm the recommended copper correction.

  2. Calculate dose: Use the label’s dose-to-ppb/µg·L⁻¹ relationship against total system volume.

  3. Split corrections: For larger increases, 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 is critical with trace copper.

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 (25–26°C).

  • Log every trace addition; align dosing with your BluePrint schedule.

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

  • If running new carbon/resins, dose after media changes for repeatable results.

Compatibility

  • Safe for reef aquariums 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 therapeutic copper treatment for fish.
