Captiv8 Reef BluePrint – Isol8:Mn (60 mL, 355 mL) — Ultra-Pure Manganese (Mn) Trace Supplement for Marine/Reef

Overview

Keep manganese (Mn) in the sweet spot for healthy photosynthesis, enzyme function, and balanced reef microbiology. Isol8:Mn is an ultra-pure, stabilized manganese supplement engineered for ICP-guided trace management within the Captiv8 BluePrint methodology. True trace-level dosing supports zooxanthellae, macroalgae/refugia, and Mn-dependent enzymes—without affecting nutrients or water clarity.

Key Features

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

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

• Supports photosynthetic performance and Mn-dependent cellular processes.

• BluePrint-ready—fits directly into Captiv8 trace schedules alongside other Isol8/Aragonite components.

• Two sizes—60 mL for smaller systems/trials and 355 mL for long-term programs.

• Doser-friendly—consistent strength for automated micro-additions after pump calibration.

Directions

1. Test first: Obtain a recent ICP analysis and compare Mn 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 metals.

Tip: Dose after water changes or fresh media swaps for consistent contact time 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.

• Log every trace addition; small, regular doses are more stable than occasional large ones.

• Avoid simultaneous dosing with strong oxidizers or metal-removal resins; space by several hours.

• 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, and bacterial programs (dose at different times).

• Not a medication and not intended for non-aquarium use.
