Nickel levels in your aquarium:
|
Nickel levels in excess of 4ppm will disrupt the function of, as well as kill, some
marine organisms such as various Sea Anemones.
Nickel is considered toxic to marine organisms. Like many trace elements in your
aquarium the toxicity of each is greatly influenced by temperature, salinity and
in the case of Nickel pH. Hence the importance of maintaining constant temperature,
salinity and pH parameters within your closed system.
Nickel can be removed from the water source through RO/DI filtration and from the
aquarium through the use of activated carbon. Care should be taken to follow the
instructions on the activated carbon product you use, as filtered contaminants can
leach back into your system.
