Overview

Keep selenium (Se) in the optimal trace window for balanced reef biochemistry. Isol8:Se is an ultra-pure, stabilized selenium supplement engineered for ICP-guided trace management within the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology. True trace-level dosing supports Se-dependent enzymatic processes in reef microbiota and helps maintain overall system stability—without affecting nutrients or water clarity.

Key Features

• ICP-driven micro-dosing to correct verified Se deficits precisely.

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

• Predictable response when added in small, controlled increments.

• BluePrint-ready—fits seamlessly alongside other Isol8/Aragonite components.

• Doser-friendly concentration for consistent automated micro-additions.

Directions

1. Test first: Review a recent ICP report and compare Se 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 required, 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; convert to a small maintenance dose if ongoing uptake persists.

6. Do not exceed label guidance—precision matters with trace elements.

Tip: Make trace additions after water changes or fresh media swaps so contact time is consistent 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.

• Space dosing several hours from strong oxidizers or metal-removal resins.

• 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, bacterial programs, and major-ion dosing (dose at different times).
