Overview

Maintain nickel (Ni) at true trace levels for balanced reef microbiology and enzyme cofactor activity. Isol8:Ni is an ultra-pure, stabilized nickel supplement engineered for ICP-guided trace management within the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology. Precise micro-dosing supports healthy biochemical pathways—without impacting nutrients or water clarity.

Key Features

  • ICP-driven micro-dosing to correct verified Ni deficits accurately.

  • High-purity, reef-safe formulation suited to sensitive, low-nutrient systems.

  • Predictable response when added in small, controlled increments.

  • BluePrint-ready—integrates cleanly with other Isol8 traces and major-ion programs.

  • Doser-friendly strength for automated micro-additions after pump calibration.

Directions

  1. Test first: Obtain a recent ICP analysis and compare nickel to your target range.

  2. Calculate dose: Use the label’s dose-to-µg·L⁻¹ (ppb) relationship for your total system volume.

  3. Split corrections: If a larger increase is needed, divide into multiple micro-doses over several days.

  4. Add in high flow (sump/overflow). Avoid direct contact with coral tissue.

  5. Verify & maintain: Re-test on your normal ICP cadence and convert to a small maintenance dose if ongoing uptake persists.

  6. 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.

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; small, regular doses are more stable than occasional large ones.

  • Avoid simultaneous dosing with strong oxidizers or metal-removal resins; space by several hours.

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/trace programs (dose at different times).

  • Not a medication and not intended for non-aquarium use.
