Aquaforest Cobaltum LAB (Co) 200ml

Description

Supplement contains concentrated cobalt. This element is necessary for all living organisms. It supports the coloring of fish and plays crucial role in the growth of some beneficial algae, bacteria and animals. Cobalt is essential for metabolic changes and is a part of vitamin B12.
Dosage
1 ml of the product increases the cobalt level by 0.0005 mg/l (ppm) in 100 litres (27 US gal) of water. Recommended level of cobalt in aquarium water is 0.0001 – 0.0006 mg/l (ppm). Please remember, that maximum safe daily dose is 1 ml per 100 litres of water. If you need a higher dose, split it into a few days. Dosage should be based on microelements consumption. Note, that each aquarium is different and final dosage depends on the coral cast and individual aquarium needs. Both, deficiency and excess micronutrients will affect aquarium inhabitants, therefore dosage should be selected and modified on the basis of regular Aquaforest Lab water tests.

***You may find out whether your aquarium water contains harmful substances or needs supplementation through this AF ICP Test 1 and understand more about Aquaforest Lab for your corals.

Aquaforest Cobaltum LAB for SG reef trace dosing

Cobalt is a trace element that punches above its tiny concentration, contributing to fish colouration and supporting the beneficial bacteria and microfauna that keep a reef ticking over. As part of vitamin B12, it plays a role in metabolic processes across the whole tank. We stock the 200ml Cobaltum LAB for reefers who run a precise, single-element dosing programme and want to address a specific cobalt shortfall.

As with the rest of the LAB line, our counsel is simple: measure first. The recommended range is a fraction of a milligram per litre, so there is no room for guesswork, especially in a warm Singapore reef where consumption can shift week to week. We point customers to ICP testing to confirm a genuine deficiency, then dosing small, splitting larger corrections across several days rather than hitting the limit in one go.
