Overview
Restore natural-seawater bromine with lab-grade precision. Isol8:Br is an ultra-pure, stabilized bromine supplement engineered for ICP-guided trace management within the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology. Correcting verified Br deficits helps maintain balanced halogen chemistry that supports healthy reef microbial processes and overall system stability—without impacting nutrients or water clarity.
Key Features
-
ICP-driven micro-dosing for accurate correction of measured Br shortfalls.
-
High-purity, reef-safe formulation designed for sensitive, low-nutrient systems.
-
Predictable response when added in small, controlled increments.
-
BluePrint-ready—fits seamlessly into Captiv8 trace schedules alongside other Isol8/Aragonite supplements.
-
Doser-friendly—ideal for automated micro-additions after careful calibration.
Directions
-
Test first: Obtain a recent ICP analysis and compare bromine to your target range.
-
Calculate dose: Use the label’s dose-to-µg·L⁻¹ (ppb) relationship for your total system volume.
-
Split corrections: If a larger increase is required, divide into multiple micro-doses over several days.
-
Add in high flow (sump/overflow). Avoid direct contact with coral tissue.
-
Verify: Re-test on your normal ICP cadence and convert to a small maintenance dose if ongoing uptake is observed.
-
Do not exceed label guidance—precision matters with halogens.
Tip: Dose shortly after water changes or fresh media swaps for consistent contact time before export.
Best Practices
-
Keep core parameters stable: Alk 7.5–9 dKH, Ca 420–450 ppm, Mg 1280–1380 ppm, Salinity 1.025–1.026, Temp 77–79°F.
-
Log every trace addition and align with your BluePrint schedule.
-
Avoid simultaneous use of strong oxidizers (peroxide/ozone) or heavy-metal removers immediately after dosing.
-
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, bacterial programs, and refugia.
-
Not a medication and not intended for therapeutic halogen treatments.
