Tropic Marin has created the innovative Block Analysis System (BAS) to enhance ICP analysis. This system guarantees the precise dosing of all essential elements in your aquarium, including trace elements that fall below ICP detection thresholds, by using key indicator elements to maintain optimal levels.
The Block Analysis System offers multi-element solutions that dose groups of elements consumed in consistent ratios through a single solution using an indicator element. This approach streamlines dosing and effectively accounts for measurement variations.
Tropic Marin BAS Solutions use indicator elements with consistent and measurable consumption to precisely dose entire groups of trace elements, even those undetectable by ICP-OES. This approach reduces uncertainty, improves water quality, and supports a thriving, healthy reef environment.
Block Iodine - Highly concentrated formula designed to replenish essential trace elements—iodine, fluorine, bromine, and selenium—in your marine aquarium. These halogens play a critical role in building and strengthening organic and inorganic structures, while selenium protects against oxidative stress and iodine supports coral light acclimatization.
Block Molybdenum - Highly concentrated solution for replenishing essential trace elements—molybdenum, rubidium, vanadium, tungsten, tellurium, and hafnium—in saltwater aquariums where deficiencies are detected. These elements play critical roles in coral metabolism, ion regulation, and biological stability—even when their individual functions are not yet fully understood.
Block Nickel - Highly concentrated formulas designed to replenish essential trace elements—nickel, manganese, iron, cobalt, and boron—critical for coral vitality and coloration. These transition metals act as biological catalysts, enhancing coral fluorescence and supporting robust metabolic activity. Boron plays a key role in coral development and cellular function.
Block Strontium - Concentrated solution to address strontium and barium deficits—two vital alkaline earth metals essential for healthy skeletal growth in corals, marine animals, and algae.
Block Zinc - Concentrated formula designed to replenish essential trace metals — zinc, copper, chromium, and gallium — whenever deficits occur. These critical transition metals serve as catalysts in coral metabolism, enhancing coloration and making coral pigments vividly glow, while supporting the overall health of your marine ecosystem.
