Selenium in marine aquariums: an essential antioxidant for corals
Selenium is a trace mineral often overlooked in micronutrient management, but its role is crucial for corals living under high light intensity. It participates in the formation of antioxidant proteins that help coral tissue defend itself against cellular damage caused by UV rays and excess light. When selenium levels become too low, corals become more vulnerable, their light tolerance decreases, and their vitality suffers.
There are many causes of a deficiency: low concentration in sea salts , absence in certain reef supplement formulas, or even too generic trace element mixtures. ATI has designed this solution to meet this specific need , with exceptional purity and a concentration perfectly suited to aquarium use.
Precise dosage for safe supplementation
ATI Selenium Solution contains 7,500 µg per 150 ml bottle . Each milliliter increases the selenium concentration by 0.5 µg/l per 100 liters of water. This is also the maximum recommended daily dose, which allows for optimal stability without the risk of overdose . The product is therefore particularly suitable for aquarists following an ICP analysis protocol or looking to refine the final details of their supplementation.
