Description
Coral Power Molybdenum is one our specialised trace element dosing products. Benefits of dosing molybdenum (Mo) in a marine aquarium:
- Essential micronutrient for microbes and algae – molybdenum is a cofactor in enzymes (e.g., nitrate reductase, nitrogenase) used by bacteria, phytoplankton, and macroalgae for nitrogen metabolism. Adequate molybdenum can support efficient nitrate assimilation and healthy primary production in refugia and planktonic communities.
- Supports refugium and macroalgae productivity – In systems using macroalgae or phytoplankton for nutrient export, tiny additions of molybdenum may relieve a limiting micronutrient and improve growth, helping reduce nitrate and phosphate.
- Indirect benefits to overall ecosystem health – By promoting robust microbial and algal activity, molybdenum can help maintain a stable, productive base of the food web that indirectly benefits corals and filter feeders.
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.
