Cobalt levels in your aquarium:

Cobalt is an essential element for the formation of some coral pigments. Diatoms will thrive in a Cobalt rich environment, which is good for the ocean, but not very attractive in our closed systems.

Natural levels of Cobalt are ideal in your system, however, elevated levels as indicated in our range will not be detrimental to most marine organisms.

As usual, regular water changes using a good quality salt mix is recommended for maintaining Cobalt at a level conducive to optimal system health, in most systems.
