Reef Essential® Signature Series™ / Manganese

Signature Series™ · Single-Element Precision

Manganese — for when your ICP test says you're low.

Ultra-pure, ICP-OES tested manganese on its own — for correcting a specific deficiency your water test just flagged, not for routine blanket dosing.

Why manganese, specifically

What this element is actually doing in your tank, in plain terms.

WHY IT MATTERS

Another chlorophyll cofactor

Like iron, manganese is a key constituent in the formation of chlorophyll found in zooxanthellae, supporting the photosynthetic engine inside coral tissue.

THE PROCESS

Macroalgae & nutrient export

Manganese also aids macroalgae growth, which naturally reduces unwanted nutrients in the aquarium while providing oxygen, expelling carbon dioxide, and improving pH stability.

WHO NEEDS MORE

Photosynthetic corals & refugiums

The same corals that lean on iron — dense zooxanthellae populations in many LPS and SPS species — draw on manganese for the same photosynthetic pathway.

When to reach for Manganese specifically

Single-element dosing is precision correction, not a routine — here's how to tell if this is the bottle you need.

USE THIS WHEN
Your ICP test flags low manganese specifically

Signature Series products exist to correct one number at a time — dose based on your actual test result, not a guess.

CONSIDER INSTEAD
A blended maintenance product instead

Bio-Metals™ (Step 4) already carries manganese alongside iron, vanadium and molybdenum as a routine-maintenance blend — better than single-element dosing for ongoing upkeep.

Dosing

Dose according to your ICP test result, not on a fixed schedule.

What you're doing Effect
Per 100L (26 US gal) dosed 1 mL raises Manganese by 0.001 ppm
Recommended pacing Spread the correction over at least 1 week
Target concentration 0.03 – 0.09 ppm

Questions about this product

Do I need to test before dosing this?+
Yes — Signature Series products are built to correct a specific deficiency your ICP test identifies. Dosing without a baseline test risks overshooting the target range.
How is this different from the manganese in Bio-Metals™?+
Bio-Metals™ (Step 4) carries manganese alongside iron, vanadium and molybdenum for routine coral-color maintenance. This is pure, single-element manganese for correcting one specific ICP result without moving the others.
Can I use this after any ICP test, or only Quantum's?+
This product can be used after any ICP test you've purchased — it's not tied to a specific testing service. The Quantum Aqua app helps calculate your dose from the result.
What's actually in the bottle?+
Ultra-pure manganese and nothing else — formulated under controlled lab conditions with every batch ICP-OES tested for accuracy.
