Aquaforest Niccolum LAB (NI) 200ml

Description

Supplement contains concentrated nickel. Nickel is necessary for functioning almost all microorganisms. Its deficiency results in depleted metabolism of nitrogen and iron.
Dosage:
1 ml of the product increases the nickel level by 0.001 mg/l (ppm) in 100 litres (27 US gal) of water. Recommended level: 0.001 – 0.01 mg/l (ppm). Please remember, that maximum safe daily dose is 2 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 Niccolum LAB (Ni): Dosing Nickel On A Local Reef

This 200ml Niccolum LAB supplies concentrated nickel, a trace element most marine microorganisms rely on and one that’s easy to overlook entirely. Nickel supports nitrogen and iron metabolism, so a deficiency can quietly drag on the biological processes your reef depends on. We treat it as a refinement supplement, something experienced Singapore reefers reach for once ICP analysis confirms a genuine shortfall rather than a routine daily addition.

The dose here is minute, raising nickel by tiny increments per 100L, so accuracy and restraint are essential. We always advise spreading any larger correction across several days, and in our warm tanks, where biology runs fast, gentle changes are kinder to corals and inverts. Treat the recommended range as a target to approach slowly, re-testing along the way, rather than a number to hit in a single aggressive dose.
