Overview

Manganese is one of those trace elements that's easy to overlook, but it plays a genuine role in coral photosynthesis and overall metabolic function. Aquaforest Manganum is a concentrated, precisely dosed manganese supplement designed to top up this trace element when your regular water changes and testing show it's running low.

It's a targeted, single-element product rather than a broad multi-mineral mix - useful when you've identified manganese specifically as a gap in your dosing regime.

Key features
  • Concentrated, pure manganese supplement
  • Supports coral metabolic processes, including photosynthesis
  • Precisely dosed - 1ml raises manganese by a known, small increment per 100 litres of water
  • Suited to fine-tuning based on regular water testing rather than guesswork
Who it's for

Reef keepers running regular ICP or trace element testing who've identified a manganese deficiency, or those wanting more precise control over trace elements than a broad-spectrum supplement provides.

Setup & tips
  • Dose based on test results rather than on a fixed schedule - manganese needs vary tank to tank
  • Split larger doses across a few days rather than adding it all at once
  • Avoid dosing manganese blind - both deficiency and excess can affect tank inhabitants, so test before and after adjusting
  • Store away from direct light and heat to preserve potency
