Overview
Keep minor and trace elements on point with a coordinated program. The Isol8: Minor & Trace Element Pack bundles Captiv8’s ultra-pure trace solutions into a single, BluePrint-compatible kit for ICP-guided correction and steady maintenance dosing. Designed for modern, low-nutrient reefs, it helps sustain coloration, polyp vitality, enzyme function, and overall microbiome balance—without impacting clarity or major-ion stability.
Key Features
-
Complete trace coverage — Curated set of minor & trace ions to address common seawater deficits.
-
ICP-driven workflow — Calibrate corrections with lab results, then transition to predictable maintenance.
-
High-purity formulations — Ultra-low contaminants for sensitive SPS/LPS and mixed reefs.
-
BluePrint-ready — Fits directly into Captiv8 schedules alongside Isol8:Ca / Isol8:K / Isol8:Mg and Aragonite components.
-
Doser-friendly — Consistent strengths for micro-additions via calibrated pumps.
Directions
-
Test first: Obtain current ICP results and identify any out-of-range elements.
-
Plan corrections: Use each bottle’s dose-to-ppb/µg·L⁻¹ relationship for your total system volume.
-
Split large adjustments: Add in multiple small doses over 24–72 hours rather than one addition.
-
Maintenance: After reaching targets, begin low daily/weekly micro-doses per BluePrint guidance; re-check ICP on your normal cadence.
-
Dosing technique: Add in high flow (sump/overflow). Do not mix concentrates together in the same container.
Tip: Time trace additions 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 (25–26°C).
-
Log every addition; small, regular doses yield more stable results than sporadic large ones.
-
Avoid dosing directly alongside strong oxidizers or metal-removal resins; space by at least several hours.
-
If running aggressive chemical media, dose traces after media changes.
Compatibility
-
Safe for SPS/LPS/soft coral systems when used strictly at trace levels per testing and label guidance.
-
Works alongside skimmers, carbon, PO₄ media, refugia, and bacterial programs (dose at different times).
-
Complements major-ion management via two-part, kalkwasser, or calcium reactors.
