Overview
Keep molybdenum (Mo) in the optimal trace range for healthy reef microbiology and enzyme function. Isol8:Mo is an ultra-pure, stabilized molybdenum supplement engineered for ICP-guided trace management within the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology. True trace-level dosing supports bacterial and algal cofactor activity and overall biochemical balance—without impacting nutrients or water clarity.
Key Features
-
ICP-driven micro-dosing to correct verified Mo deficits precisely.
-
High-purity, reef-safe formulation for sensitive, low-nutrient systems.
-
Supports enzymatic pathways involved in nitrogen and sulfur cycling.
-
BluePrint-ready—fits directly into Captiv8 trace schedules alongside other Isol8/Aragonite components.
-
Doser-friendly—consistent strength for automated micro-additions after pump calibration.
Directions
-
Test first: Obtain a recent ICP analysis and compare Mo 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 elements.
Tip: Dose after water changes or fresh media swaps** for consistent contact time before export.
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; 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.
Compatibility
-
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.
