ELEMENTALS TRACE Rubidium

ELEMENTALS TRACE Rb is a high purity stabilized rubidium solution used for compensating rubidium deficiencies in reef aquariums.

The Elementals series is designed for use with regular ICP analyses. The Fauna Marin ICP analyses help you to supply your aquarium perfectly.

Fauna Marin ICP analyses provide you with all the necessary dosage recommendations in addition to the measured values. In addition to the salts of the bulk elements calcium, magnesium and carbonate hardness, we also offer a range of special trace elements whose function is essential in the marine aquarium. Trace elements are - in contrast to bulk elements such as calcium, magnesium or potassium - elements that are present in seawater in concentrations lower than 1 mg/l. These include, for example, copper, magnesium and carbonate hardness. These include, for example, copper, chromium, manganese or selenium, but also iron, iodine or zinc.

The function of trace elements can be very different. In the knowledge base on the Fauna Marin website you will find an overview of the respective function of each element. Trace elements can be present in many different substances and thus also enter the aquarium water; their deficiency, however, can cause significant problems despite their low necessary concentration in the water. An adequate supply of all important trace elements is therefore essential for a healthy reef aquarium.

Our single element solutions consist of the purest raw materials, which are produced with the corresponding organic or inorganic compounds, depending on the function of the elements. Here we use our coral farm and of course our own ICP laboratory for production and quality control.

Dosing recommendation

• - 1ml Elementals Trace Rb per 100 l (26 US gal) aquarium water will increase rubidium content by approx. 5 µg/l (0,26 US gal).
• - The dosage is demand-based.
• - We recommend a maximum daily increase of 25 µg/l (0,26 US gal) rubidium (5 ml Elementals Trace Rb/100 l (26 US gal) daily).
