Supplement contains concentrated vanadium. Vanadium is an important activator of enzymes, it participates in carbohydrates metabolism and skeletal mineralization. This element is regularly consumed by the inhabitants of the aquarium, so in order to provide conditions as close to the natural environment as it is possible, it should be systematically dosed to the aquarium.
Vanadium is an important essential element in reef aquariums. Vanadium is important for the formation of colour pigments, growth and numerous physiological processes in the coral tissue and biofilms in the aquarium.
Too low a concentration lead to weak colour formation, low colour contrast and weak fluorescence effects. Nutrient build-up and degradation are disturbed. Too high concentrations are relatively uncritical, but darkening of the animals and increased algae growth are a common consequence. From 0.03-0.05ppm vanadium starts to precipitate and form deposits. In order to assure optimum bioavailability of vanadium, it is important ro use a suitable method of supplementation. If this is not done, the addition of vanadium quickly leads to the development of deposits and can cause undesireable cyanobacterial plagues.
Recommended Vanadium level in marine aquariums is 0.001 – 0.0025 ppm
