Manganese in marine aquariums: essential for photosynthesis and coloration
Manganese is a trace element that plays a crucial but often underestimated role in the biological balance of a reef aquarium. It directly participates in the photosynthesis of zooxanthellae , the symbiotic microalgae that feed corals. When it is deficient, a rapid paling of the SPS and a reduction in their growth is observed. It is therefore vital to maintain a stable concentration, even at very low doses.
Manganese losses are common in closed aquariums, particularly due to the intensive use of adsorbents such as activated carbon or zeolite , which also bind this type of micro-element. Overly powerful skimming or ozone systems can also accentuate this deficiency. With ATI Labs Manganese, it is possible to compensate for these losses while perfectly controlling the inputs.
Accurate and 100% pure dosage for reliable correction
Each 150 ml bottle contains 60,000 µg of manganese . Just 1 ml is enough to increase the manganese level in 100 liters of seawater by 4 µg/l . This is also the maximum recommended dose per day, allowing deficiencies to be corrected gradually and safely. This calibrated dosage makes this product an excellent ally for experienced aquarists, particularly in the context of precise ICP monitoring .
| Dosage target | Recommended quantity |
|---|
| Increase by 4 µg/l per 100 L | 1 ml |
| Maximum daily dosage | 1 ml / 100 L |
| Total manganese per bottle | 60,000 µg |
