Description
Our Coral Power Lithium is a blend of lithium chloride at 5000ppm (mg/L). Benefits of dosing Lithium in a marine aquarium:
- May influence calcification – Laboratory studies on some calcifying organisms show lithium can substitute into carbonate lattices or affect crystal morphology; hobbyists report that small Li additions sometimes correlate with improved coral skeletal density or growth.
- Possible effects on algal physiology – Lithium can alter some cellular signaling pathways in microbes and algae in lab settings. Practical, beneficial impacts in an aquarium (e.g., on refugium macroalgae) vary from aquarium to aquarium.
- Trace presence mimics natural seawater – Natural seawater contains trace lithium. Maintaining a natural trace-element profile is preferable to complete absence.
ICP testing of marine aquarium tanks is fast becoming a must do part of our regular maintenance activities if we are to ensure the water quality remains pristine. We have listened to our customers and developed a range of the most required individual trace elements to tweak the levels in your system. It’s as simple as analysing your ICP test results, decide the level your tank should be at, enter values into our Trace Elements Dosing Calculator, add the recommended amount. Just another way all of us here at Coral Essentials help make sure your tank is the best it can possibly be.
