Overview
Keep minor & trace elements in step with coral demand. Isol8:MT is a multi-trace solution formulated for the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology and ICP-guided reef keeping. It provides a balanced profile of select trace ions to support color, enzyme function, and overall biochemical stability in SPS/LPS/soft corals, clams, and coralline—without affecting clarity or major-ion balance when used as directed.
Key Features
-
Integrated multi-trace blend for routine maintenance of key seawater traces.
-
ICP-friendly—ideal for small corrective adjustments and ongoing micro-dosing.
-
High-purity formulation suited to sensitive, low-nutrient systems.
-
BluePrint-ready—pairs cleanly with Isol8 major ions and single-element traces.
-
Doser-friendly concentration for consistent, automated additions.
Directions
-
Test first: Review recent ICP results and confirm targets for your system.
-
Calculate dose: Use the label’s dose-to-ppb/µg·L⁻¹ relationship for total system volume (display + sump minus displacement).
-
Split corrections: For larger adjustments, add in multiple small doses over 24–72 hours.
-
Maintenance: Once targets are reached, switch to low, regular micro-doses per your BluePrint schedule.
-
Add in high flow (sump/overflow). Do not mix with other concentrates in the same container.
Tip: Make trace additions after water changes or fresh media swaps so contact time is consistent before export.
Best Practices
-
Hold 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 addition; small, frequent doses are more stable than occasional large ones.
-
Space dosing several hours from strong oxidizers or metal-removal resins.
-
If running new carbon/resins, dose traces after the change for repeatability.
Compatibility
-
Safe for SPS/LPS/soft coral systems when used at trace levels per testing and label guidance.
-
Works alongside skimmers, carbon, PO₄ media, refugia, bacterial programs, and major-ion dosing (dose at different times).
