Uloga fluora u reef akvariju
Fluor je element u tragovima prirodno prisutan u morskoj vodi, obično oko 1,2 do 1,4 mg/L u obliku fluoridnog iona. Sudjeluje u brojnim biološkim procesima i doprinosi ionskoj ravnoteži reef sustava.
U modernom akvariju biološka potrošnja, izvoz skimmerom i izmjene vode mogu postupno smanjiti njegovu koncentraciju. Održavanje pravilne razine pomaže očuvati stabilno okruženje.
We offer a complete range of products to target the main elements of seawater after an ICP analysis or manual tests.
A simple, direct and controlled formulation
Zoanthus Lab – Fluorine solution is prepared from pharmaceutical-grade sodium fluoride (NaF), dissolved in purified water (RO/DI).
No chelator is added. Fluorine is present here in an inorganic, fully soluble and stable form. This choice ensures a reliable ICP reading and avoids interference linked to complexed forms.
- ✔ Stable inorganic solution
\r\n- ✔ Chelator-free
\r\n- ✔ Compatible with Balling, Triton method and other reef methods
\r\n- ✔ Consistent and reproducible ICP results

Concentration and dosage
The solution is formulated according to a precise protocol:
- Concentration : 2.0 mg/mL of fluorine (F element)
- Recommended dosage : 5 mL per 100 L of water
- Effect : +0.1 mg/L fluorine
- Correction limit : do not increase fluorine by more than 0.5 mg/L per day.
Supplementation should always be based on a recent ICP analysis. In case of a significant deficit, splitting the correction over several days helps avoid sudden parameter changes.
Zoa Aqua Manager: your smart dosing assistant
Each Zoanthus Lab product can be managed with our free Zoa Aqua Manager calculator. In seconds, you get a precise and personalized dosage based on your ICP analysis (Zoanthus Labs or any other laboratory).
No more manual calculations: enter your water volume, measured value and target, and the system automatically calculates the appropriate correction, with progressive dosing available for optimal stability.
A tool designed by aquarists, for demanding aquarists.

Directions for use and storage
Dose in a high-flow area of the aquarium or in the sump. Shake well before use.
Store away from light, between 15 and 25 °C. Recommended shelf life: 12 months after manufacture.
- Product intended exclusively for aquarium use.
- Keep out of reach of children. Do not swallow. Do not ingest.
- Do not mix with acids.
- In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
As with any trace element, excessive supplementation is unnecessary and may unbalance the water. Regular ICP monitoring remains the most reliable method for keeping a stable aquarium over the long term.
