Lithium Supplement for Reef Aquariums: Stability and Ionic Balance
Lithium is an element naturally present in seawater, but is often overlooked during supplementation. Although no clear symptoms of deficiency have been formally proven, scientists believe that too low a level can affect certain enzymatic activities and, ultimately, the metabolism of marine organisms. Its low atomic mass means that, despite its low concentration, the number of ions present is particularly high and can play a subtle but important role in the overall balance of the reef.
The ATI ICP Element Lithium solution provides simple and controlled correction. 1 ml per 100 liters of water increases lithium levels by 15 µg/l, the maximum recommended daily dose. This precision prevents excesses and allows for precise and safe aquarium management. The bottle provides a sufficient reserve for several weeks, or even several months, depending on the size of the tank and actual consumption.
Lithium deficiencies can have several origins: use of sea salts low in lithium , filtration with zeolite or activated carbon which can reduce the concentration, or lack of specific monitoring in conventional supplementation methods. Thanks to this product, it is now possible to easily compensate for these losses and maintain an optimal ionic balance .
Like the rest of the ATI ICP Elements range, this supplement benefits from the color-coded system that makes it easy to use depending on the aquarist's experience level: beginner, advanced or expert. A discreet but essential supplement for those who want to push the precision of their reef to its maximum.
