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
-
Test first: Obtain a recent ICP analysis and compare iodine to your target range.
-
Calculate dose: Use the label’s dose-to-µg·L⁻¹ (ppb) relationship for your total system volume.
-
Split corrections: If a larger increase is required, divide into multiple micro-doses over several days.
-
Add in high flow (sump/overflow). Avoid direct contact with coral tissue.
-
Verify & maintain: Re-test on your normal ICP cadence and convert to a small maintenance dose if ongoing uptake is observed.
-
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.
