Description
Coral Power Nickel is another one of our specialised trace elements for advanced reef keepers. Benefits of dosing nickel (Ni) in a marine aquarium:
- Essential trace micronutrient for microbes and algae – nickel is a cofactor for a few enzymes (e.g., some ureases, hydrogenases) used by bacteria and certain algae; small amounts can support microbial nitrogen cycling and microalgal metabolism in refugia or planktonic communities.
- May aid refugium and phytoplankton productivity – If nickel is limiting, adding trace amounts can improve growth of macroalgae or cultured phytoplankton used for nutrient export and as live feed.
- Indirect support for overall tank biology – Healthier microbial communities and primary producers can improve nutrient processing and contribute to a more stable, productive system that benefits corals and filter feeders indirectly.
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.
