Keep manganese (Mn) in the sweet spot for healthy photosynthesis, enzyme function, and balanced reef microbiology. Isol8:Mn is an ultra-pure, stabilized manganese supplement engineered for ICP-guided trace management within the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology. True trace-level dosing supports zooxanthellae, macroalgae/refugia, and Mn-dependent enzymes—without affecting nutrients or water clarity.
ICP-driven micro-dosing to correct verified Mn deficits precisely.
High-purity, reef-safe formulation for sensitive, low-nutrient systems.
Supports photosynthetic performance and Mn-dependent cellular processes.
BluePrint-ready—fits directly into Captiv8 trace schedules alongside other Isol8/Aragonite components.
Two sizes—60 mL for smaller systems/trials and 355 mL for long-term programs.
Doser-friendly—consistent strength for automated micro-additions after pump calibration.
Test first: Obtain a recent ICP analysis and compare Mn 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; convert to a small maintenance dose if ongoing uptake persists.
Do not exceed label guidance—precision matters with trace metals.
Tip: Dose after water changes or fresh media swaps for consistent contact time before export.
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; small, regular doses are more stable than occasional large ones.
Avoid simultaneous dosing with strong oxidizers or metal-removal resins; space by several hours.
If running fresh carbon/resins, dose after media changes for repeatable results.
Safe for reef systems when used strictly at trace levels per testing and label guidance.
Works alongside skimmers, carbon, phosphate media, refugia, and bacterial programs (dose at different times).
Not a medication and not intended for non-aquarium use.
