Reef Essential® Signature Series™ / Vanadium
Signature Series™ · Single-Element Precision
Vanadium — for when your ICP test says you're low.
Ultra-pure, ICP-OES tested vanadium on its own — for correcting a specific deficiency your water test just flagged, not for routine blanket dosing.
Why vanadium, specifically
What this element is actually doing in your tank, in plain terms.
A chlorophyll building block
Vanadium is a key constituent in the formation of chlorophyll found in zooxanthellae.
Macroalgae & nutrient export
Vanadium also aids macroalgae growth, which naturally reduces unwanted nutrients in the aquarium while providing oxygen, expelling carbon dioxide, and improving pH stability.
Spread it over a week
The manufacturer recommends spreading the dose over at least one week, for consistency and to avoid sudden change.
When to reach for Vanadium specifically
Single-element dosing is precision correction, not a routine — here's how to tell if this is the bottle you need.
Your ICP test flags low vanadium specifically
Signature Series products exist to correct one number at a time — dose based on your actual test result, not a guess.
A blended maintenance product instead
Easy Reefer® Easy E™ already carries vanadium as part of a broader calcium/trace-element blend — simpler for routine maintenance.
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 Vanadium by 0.001 ppm |
| Recommended pacing | Spread the correction over at least 1 week |
| Target concentration | 0.001–0.002 ppm |
Rest of the Signature Series™
Organized by periodic table group — dose only the elements your ICP test says you're missing.
