Overview

Sustain color and metabolic performance with true trace-level iron. Isol8:Fe is an ultra-pure, stabilized iron supplement engineered for ICP-guided trace management within the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology. At controlled levels, iron supports zooxanthellae function, enhances greens/yellows in photosynthetic corals, and fuels healthy macroalgae/refugium growth—without disturbing nutrients or water clarity.

Key Features

  • ICP-driven micro-dosing to correct verified Fe deficits precisely.

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

  • Predictable concentration for manual or automated micro-additions.

  • BluePrint-ready—integrates cleanly with Captiv8 schedules and other Isol8/Aragonite supplements.

  • Doser-friendly for consistent, small additions after calibration.

Directions

  1. Test first: Obtain a recent ICP analysis and confirm iron levels vs. your target.

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

  3. Split corrections: For larger adjustments, add 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; convert to a modest maintenance dose as needed.

  6. Do not exceed label guidance—iron is highly reactive at trace levels.

Tip: Dose away from fresh GFO/resins and other strong adsorbers for consistent contact time.

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 with your BluePrint schedule and water-change cycle.

  • If running a refugium, begin with very small doses and watch macroalgae color and growth rate.

  • Avoid simultaneous additions with strong oxidizers; separate iron dosing from phosphate control measures to minimize precipitation.

Compatibility

  • Safe for reef systems when used strictly at trace levels per testing and label guidance.

  • Works alongside skimmers, carbon, phosphate media (dose at different times), bacterial programs, refugia, and amino/trace blends.

  • Not a medication and not intended for non-aquarium use.
