Block Analysis - Nickel - Tropic Marin

Tropic Marin® Block Iron is a concentrated trace element solution designed to restore essential transition metals — nickel, manganese, iron, cobalt, and boron — that play vital roles in coral metabolism, coloration, and growth. These elements act as biochemical catalysts, deepening coral pigmentation, enhancing fluorescence, and supporting strong skeletal development.

Nickel, manganese, iron, and cobalt are crucial for enzymatic and metabolic functions, promoting the production of vivid pigments and fluorescent proteins that make reef aquariums come alive with color. Boron supports coral tissue growth, metabolic balance, and the structural integrity of stony coral skeletons.

The Tropic Marin® Block System utilizes a proprietary indicator element to ensure trace elements consumed in the same ratio are replenished proportionally. This precision dosing approach maintains element balance even when levels fall below detectable limits on ICP tests, making it one of the most advanced and reliable trace dosing systems available.

Key Benefits

• Replenishes nickel, manganese, iron, cobalt, and boron to maintain optimal coral health.

• Enhances coral coloration, fluorescence, and metabolic function.

• Balances trace element ratios through the Tropic Marin® Block System.

• Provides accurate dosing even for undetectable trace levels.

• Easy-to-use dropper for manual or automated dosing systems.

• Supports vibrant reef coloration and long-term stability.

Element Concentrations
