Reef Factory Vanadium 150ml

What is this mineral supplement from Reef Factory?

This Reef Factory Vanadium mineral supplement is an essential supplement for many different kinds of reef tanks, particularly those with lots of sponges. It's part of Reef Factory's Reef Minerals range, which has been expertly designed by chemists and experienced aquarists to help you maintain stable water chemistry parameters in your marine aquarium and, in doing so, simulate a natural environment that your fish, corals and other critters will love.

This supplement has been designed to replenish vanadium deficiencies and sudden vanadium drops in your marine aquarium's water. For a 100L marine aquarium, just add 1ml of Vanadium Reef Minerals to increase the vanadium (V) level by 2 µg/L. Before dosing, check the guide on the back of the bottle to make sure you're adding the right amount for your marine aquarium.

To ensure the health and colouration of your reef tanks inhabitants, it's recommended to keep your vanadium levels between 0.5-3 µg/L. Be sure to also administer Vanadium Reef Minerals gradually and in small portions to protect your reef tanks inhabitants from any excessive stress.

Why is vanadium important for my marine aquarium?

Vanadium is involved in a variety of biological processes, including the denitrification and transformation of inorganic halogens into organic molecules. It's also an essential building block for the healthy development of sponges.

Like several other trace elements, it has a strong influence on the diverse colouration of corals. To achieve the best and most diverse colouration, pair Vanadium Reef Minerals with Molybdenum Reef Minerals at a ratio of 1:3 or 1:4.

If vanadium levels are low in your reef tank, you may notice a low colour contrast in your corals. Stylophora pistillata is a great indicator species that loses its silvery, glowing tips if there's a vanadium deficiency. Remedy this with a dose of Vanadium Reef Minerals, though be careful not to overdose - too high a concentration of vanadium can cause corals to darken and develop health problems.
