Vanadium importance

scotty333 · Aug 17, 2024

Triton say it’s good for polyp extension, something I’m lacking

I did the correction dose last month (.5ml)and the maintenance dose daily .03ml) which I bugger all

Can this be upped substantially or maybe just double and check again in a month?

Too high is bad? Don’t want to risk oding if it’s dangerous at high levels but striking a balance is somewhat tricky without a few more icps but I’m curious of its effects at the correct level

First time hearing that word on these forums.

Vanadium is an important trace element for organisms. IMO, it's a fantasy to assign particular attributes or colors to particular trace elements, except that a coral lacking needed trace elements will look poorly as it fails to thrive.

I would not push vanadium above natural levels trying to boost polyp extension. But having natural levels present is desirable.

I expect it depletes faster than a month.
