Overview
Restore natural seawater–level lithium with precision. Isol8:Li is an ultra-pure, stabilized lithium supplement designed for ICP-driven trace management within the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology. Used at true trace levels, it supports lithium-dependent biochemical pathways in corals and reef microbiota without affecting nutrients or clarity.
Key Features
-
ICP-guided micro-dosing for accurate correction of verified Li deficits.
-
High-purity formulation suitable for sensitive, low-nutrient reefs.
-
Stable and predictable response when added in controlled, small increments.
-
BluePrint-ready—fits cleanly into Captiv8’s trace schedule and complements other Isol8/Aragonite supplements.
-
Doser-friendly—ideal for automated micro-additions after calibration.
Directions
-
Test first: Obtain a recent ICP report and confirm lithium levels against your target.
-
Calculate dose: Use the label’s dose-to-ppb/µg·L⁻¹ 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: Re-test with ICP on your normal cadence and convert to a small maintenance dose if needed.
-
Do not exceed label recommendations; precision is essential with trace elements.
Tip: Time additions after water changes or fresh media swaps so the system has consistent contact time.
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.
-
Log every trace addition; align with your BluePrint schedule.
-
Avoid simultaneous use of strong oxidizers or heavy-metal removers immediately after dosing.
-
If running new 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 skimming, carbon, phosphate media, bacterial programs, and refugia.
-
Not intended as a medication and not for non-aquarium use.
