Borium Lab 1L

Borium Lab is a boron concentrate for reef aquarium keepers who want to correct boron levels in their saltwater instead of dosing by guesswork. It suits owners who already test their water and need a product that matches a measured deficit. The recommended target range is 4.05–5.00 mg/l.

Why it matters

• Boron takes part in calcium metabolism, which is the process corals use to build their skeletons.
• The manufacturer links boron to faster growth of coralline algae and to skeletal development in corals.
• Maintaining boron is associated with improved coloration of corals.
• The dose is measurable: 20 ml raises boron by 1 mg/l in 100 litres, so the amount can be calculated against tank volume and test results.

What it works with

Borium Lab is designed for marine reef aquariums, where boron is consumed by corals and coralline algae. Dosing should be based on ICP-OES test results rather than a fixed schedule, so the product is best used together with regular laboratory water analysis. It fits within the Aquaforest Lab line of trace elements, which is meant to be used alongside the other supplements in that range.
