How do I use this Trace Elements Chromium 150ml?

It's important to first check your reef tank's chromium levels prior to any dosing. This is best done with a professional ICP test. These tests will not only tell you whether your chromium levels need adjusting, but your levels of other trace elements too.

Naturally, chromium in seawater varies a lot but it usually falls somewhere between 0.2-0.6 µg/l. To dose, add 1ml of chromium per 100L of saltwater. This will increase chromium levels by 2 µg/l.

Chromium can be removed from your aquarium very quickly, so dose regularly to keep your levels within an appropriate range. Make sure you also test regularly to avoid overdosing.
