Captiv8 Reef BluePrint – Isol8:Ca (355 mL, 1,006 mL) — Ultra-Pure Calcium Supplement for Marine/Reef

Overview

Keep skeletal growth steady with laboratory-grade calcium. Isol8:Ca is an ultra-pure, stabilized calcium solution designed for the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology and test-driven reef keeping. It restores and maintains target Ca to support dense calcification in SPS/LPS corals, coralline algae, and Tridacnid clams—without adding unwanted byproducts or clouding the system.

Key Features

• High-purity Ca for sensitive, low-nutrient reefs.

• Predictable concentration for precise manual or automated dosing.

• Synergy with Alk/Mg—pairs cleanly with Isol8/Aragonite counterparts to maintain ionic balance.

• BluePrint-ready—slots into Captiv8 schedules and ICP/spot-test routines.

• Two sizes—355 mL for extended use and 1,006 mL for standard long-term dosing.

• Doser-friendly—ideal for continuous micro-additions after calibration.

Directions

1. Test first: Measure Calcium (Ca) and confirm your target (commonly 420–450 ppm for mixed reefs).

2. Calculate dose: Use the label’s dose-to-ppm relationship for your total system volume (display + sump minus displacement).

3. Split corrections: If a large adjustment is needed, add in multiple small doses over 24–48 hours.

4. Maintenance: Establish a daily dose that matches uptake; verify weekly and adjust.

5. Add in high flow (sump/overflow). Do not mix in the same container with alkalinity, magnesium, or concentrated trace solutions.

Bring alkalinity (7.5–9 dKH) and magnesium (1280–1380 ppm) into range before fine-tuning calcium consumption.

Best Practices

• Keep salinity stable (1.025–1.026) and avoid large, unplanned water changes that can swing Ca.

• Time additions away from fresh carbon/resin swaps for consistent contact time.

• If precipitation/film appears, reduce single-dose size and increase dosing frequency.

• Record all additions; align with your BluePrint testing cadence and any ICP results.

Compatibility

• Safe alongside skimmers, carbon, phosphate media, refugia, and bacterial/trace programs (dose at different times).

• Works with two-part, kalkwasser, and calcium reactors; keep additions separate and in high flow.

• Avoid simultaneous dosing with strong oxidizers.
