Inocul8
Establishes Comprehensive Biological Filtration; Reduces Nutrient Content
(in particular: NH3, NO2, NO3)
A dry blend which rapidly establishes comprehensive biological filtration, providing a host of non-pathogenic, heterotrophic aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms (nitrifiers, denitrifiers, as well as species which focus on remineralization of latent organic material).
~ Aggressively reduces ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphate.
~ Increases average ORP.
~ Improves light penetration.
~ Enhances protein skimmer efficiency.
~ Reduces POM, DOM, and DIN

aCtiv8
Carbon Source for Nutrient-Deficient Systems; Encourages Natural Reduction of Nitrogen and Phosphorus
A dry blend of organic carbon sources, generally applied to nutrient-deficient systems, which collectively increase the metabolic efficiency and feed conversion of corals and their allies to yield greater growth rates, as well as greater rates of microbially-driven nitrogen and phosphorus uptake.
~ May be employed with Inocul8 to expedite the nitrogen cycling of newly-established recirculating systems.
~ Formula follows the Captiv8 Aquaculture policy of excluding fillers, preservatives, and artificial colors.

Remedi8
Converts Organic Waste Into Cohort Biomass; Reduces Nutrient Content
(in particular: DOM, POM, DIN)
A dry blend which supplements existing biological filtration in established systems, providing a host of non-pathogenic, heterotrophic aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms (dominated by species which focus on remineralization of latent organic material).
~ Shifts Redfield Ratio.
~ Increases average ORP.
~ Improves light penetration.
~ Enhances protein skimmer efficiency.
~ Reduces POM, DOM, and DIN.

Nitr8
Nitrate Solution: 100,000 ppm
~ Active Components: Potassium nitrate, anhydrous, USP
Nitrogen is a critical nutrient for survival of photoautotrophs, including zooxanthellae. In recirculating systems densely-populated with zooxanthellate cnidarians and bivalves, and/or in which algae are utilized as a means of natural nutrient reduction, nitrogen may become a biolimiting nutrient, slowing or halting primary productivity and cohort growth until the concentration is increased; extreme deficiency may result in bleaching.

Phosph8
Phosphate Solution: 50,000 ppm
~ Active Components: Potassium phosphate, anhydrous, USP
Phosphorus is a critical nutrient for survival of photoautotrophs, including zooxanthellae. In recirculating systems densely-populated with zooxanthellate cnidarians and bivalves, and/or in which algae are utilized as a means of natural nutrient reduction, phosphorus may become a biolimiting nutrient, slowing or halting primary productivity and cohort growth until the concentration is increased; extreme deficiency may result in bleaching.

Integr8 Reef
Augmented Plankton | ≤800 μm | Specifically formulated for aquaculture of Cnidarians, Bivavles, Tunicates, and Sponges
Integr8 Reef is a dry blend, which consists of: marine zooplankton (Arthropoda) and phytoplankton featuring rich fatty acid, amino acid, and biopigment profiles; specific immunostimulants; protein biosynthesis stimulants; and biological pigment precursors. These components operate in synergy to yield improved cohort robustness, feeding response, rate of tissue synthesis, and richness of color when applied on a consistent basis.
This formulation provides twenty-one essential amino acids; thirteen major, minor, and trace elements, including selenium (1.9 mg/kg); Omega-3 and -6 HUFAs (19.6 mg/g and 0.2 mg/g, respectively);
fourteen vitamins; and beta carotene (302 mg/kg).
