Overview

Isol8:Zn delivers laboratory-grade zinc in a highly soluble, reef-safe solution designed to restore and maintain proper Zn levels in marine aquariums. Zinc is an essential ultra-trace element that supports coral coloration, enzyme activity, and overall metabolic health for SPS/LPS corals, clams, and other reef invertebrates.

Why Zinc Matters

  • Skeletal growth & coloration: Zinc participates in enzyme systems tied to calcification and pigment expression.

  • Macro/micro-nutrient balance: Skimmers, carbon, GFO, heavy filtration, and aggressive refugia export can strip ultra-trace elements like Zn, leading to long-term depletion.

  • Closed-system stability: Routine, measured supplementation helps maintain natural-seawater-like balance between ICP tests.

Key Features

  • Ultra-pure, reef-safe zinc in pharmaceutical-grade water

  • Rapid mixing & clear dosing—no clouding or precipitation

  • Compatible with calcium/alkalinity routines and other Captiv8 Isol8™ traces

  • Calibrated for fine control—ideal for SPS-dominant systems and ICP-guided dosing

  • No phosphates, nitrates, or organics added

Directions & Dosing

For best results, confirm Zn via ICP-OES/ICP-MS or a trusted lab and adjust based on measured consumption.

  1. Start low: Begin with 1 drop (≈0.05 mL) per 25 gal (95 L) daily for 1–2 weeks.

  2. Test & adjust: Re-test zinc, then increase or decrease dose to maintain your target (typically natural-seawater range).

  3. Maintenance: Once stable, maintain a steady micro-dose regimen rather than large, infrequent additions.

  4. Do not combine into one shot with other concentrates; dose separately into high-flow areas.

  5. Shake gently before use; cap tightly after dosing.

Important: Every system’s uptake differs with biomass, filtration, and feeding. If corals show stress or you observe elevated Zn on a test, pause dosing and perform a partial water change.

Compatibility

  • Works alongside Ca/Alk/Mg supplementation, amino acids, and other Captiv8 Isol8™ traces.

  • Safe for reef-safe fish and invertebrates when used as directed.

  • Avoid simultaneous dosing into the same spot as high-pH additives (wait 5–10 minutes).

Ingredients

  • Ultra-pure zinc in purified water (laboratory-grade solution).
