Overview
Prepare clean, livestock-ready saltwater with confidence. Anticip8 is a BluePrint-compatible conditioning concentrate formulated to treat new or stored seawater before use. It helps neutralize typical impurities, stabilize chemistry, and support early biofilm formation, so water changes and new-system starts go smoothly—without adding unwanted nutrients or haze.
Key Features
-
Fast water prep — Designed to condition new mix water for immediate reef use when dosed as directed.
-
Chemistry stabilization — Helps buffer and balance freshly mixed seawater for consistent parameters.
-
Biofilm support — Encourages healthy microbial footing in sumps, reservoirs, and new systems.
-
Low-nutrient friendly — Does not intentionally raise NO₃/PO₄ when used correctly.
-
BluePrint-ready — Integrates cleanly with Captiv8 dosing schedules and testing workflows.
-
Multiple yields — Choose the concentrate size that makes 1 gallon, 5 gallons, or 16 ounces of working solution.
Directions
-
Mix saltwater first: Bring RO/DI to target salinity and temperature.
-
Dose Anticip8: Add per label for your chosen working-solution yield (1 gal, 5 gal, or 16 oz). Stir for even distribution.
-
Circulate & aerate: Run a pump for 30–60 minutes to ensure complete conditioning.
-
Verify parameters: Check salinity, temperature, and pH/alkalinity as part of your normal routine.
-
Use or store: Use immediately for water changes, or store covered with circulation. Re-dose per label if water is stored long-term.
For new tanks or major resets, pair conditioned water with your bacterial program (e.g., Remedi8/Propag8 or your preferred culture).
Best Practices
-
Keep a consistent mixing reservoir routine (same RO/DI TDS, salinity, and mixing time).
-
Rinse/rotate mechanical media after large water changes to remove loosened organics.
-
Record batch dates and volumes to keep dosing predictable.
-
Avoid adding other concentrates to the same container at the exact same time; stagger by several minutes in high flow.
Compatibility
-
Safe for reef, FOWLR, and frag systems when used as directed.
-
Works with protein skimmers, carbon/PO₄ media, UV/ozone (dose in the reservoir; resume normal operation afterward).
-
Plays well with Captiv8 BluePrint major-ion and trace programs.
