Overview
Maintain natural-seawater strontium with lab-grade precision. Isol8:Sr is an ultra-pure, stabilized strontium solution designed for ICP-guided trace management within the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology. Routine micro-dosing supports calcification and skeletal density in SPS/LPS corals, Tridacnid clams, and coralline algae—without affecting nutrients or water clarity.
Key Features
-
ICP-driven micro-dosing to correct verified Sr deficits with confidence.
-
High-purity, reef-safe formulation for sensitive, low-nutrient systems.
-
Supports calcification in stony corals, clams, and coralline algae.
-
BluePrint-ready—slots into Captiv8 schedules alongside Isol8/Aragonite supplements.
-
Two sizes—60 mL for small systems/trials and 355 mL for ongoing programs.
-
Doser-friendly concentration for consistent automated micro-additions.
Directions
-
Test first: Obtain a recent ICP analysis and compare Sr to your target range.
-
Calculate dose: Use the label’s dose-to-µg·L⁻¹ relationship for your total system volume.
-
Split corrections: For larger adjustments, add multiple small doses over 24–72 hours.
-
Add in high flow (sump/overflow); avoid direct contact with coral tissue.
-
Verify & maintain: Re-test on your normal ICP cadence and convert to a small maintenance dose if ongoing uptake persists.
-
Do not exceed label guidance—precision matters with trace elements.
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 addition; small, regular doses are more stable than occasional large ones.
-
Space dosing several hours from strong oxidizers or metal-removal resins.
-
Dose after water changes or fresh media swaps for consistent contact time.
Compatibility
-
Safe for SPS/LPS/soft coral systems when used strictly at trace levels per testing and label guidance.
-
Works alongside skimmers, carbon, phosphate media, refugia, and major-ion dosing (dose at different times).
