Overview

Maintain natural-seawater iodine with precision. Isol8:I is an ultra-pure, stabilized iodine (as iodide/iodate per formula) supplement engineered for ICP-guided trace management within the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology. Correcting verified I deficits supports halogen balance, helps photosynthetic corals and gorgonians, and benefits macroalgae and invertebrate health—without impacting nutrients or water clarity.

Key Features

  • ICP-driven micro-dosing to correct verified iodine shortfalls accurately.

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

  • Predictable response when added in small, controlled increments.

  • BluePrint-ready—fits cleanly into Captiv8 trace schedules alongside other Isol8/Aragonite supplements.

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

Directions

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

  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.

  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 halogens.

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 (25–26°C).

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

  • Avoid simultaneous use of strong oxidizers or halogen-removing media immediately after dosing.

  • If running fresh carbon/resins, dose after media changes for consistent contact time.

Compatibility

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

  • Works alongside skimmers, carbon, phosphate media, bacterial programs, refugia, and amino/trace blends.

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