Aquaforest Lab Chromium is a 200 ml marine trace element supplement for reef aquarists who dose by measured chromium levels rather than by fixed routines. It addresses the fact that chromium, which occurs naturally in seawater, is consumed quickly by marine organisms in a closed aquarium system.
Why it matters
- Chromium is naturally present in seawater, but in a closed system it is depleted by marine organisms, so levels can fall over time.
- One 1 ml dose per 100 litres of water raises chromium by 0.0005 mg/l (ppm), which is slightly above the recommended target range of 0.0001–0.0004 mg/l.
- The manufacturer recommends dosing based on ICP-OES test results, so the amount added can be matched to the actual deficit in your water.
- The product is part of the Aquaforest Lab line of laboratory-tested trace elements, designed to keep individual elements within a stable, natural-like range.

What it works with
This supplement is intended for marine reef aquariums with corals and other saltwater invertebrates that depend on stable trace element levels. Dosing should be scaled to the water volume and to the chromium concentration found in your test results. It is used alongside other Aquaforest Lab trace elements when a broader water analysis shows several deficiencies.

Frequently asked questions
Chromium occurs naturally in seawater, but in a closed aquarium system it is consumed quickly by marine organisms. That is why the level can drop and need topping up.
One ml raises chromium by 0.0005 mg/l (ppm) in 100 liters of water. The 200 ml bottle therefore contains 200 such 1 ml doses.
The recommended level is 0.0001 to 0.0004 mg/l (ppm). The supplier advises basing your dosing on ICP-OES test results.
The supplier recommends dosing based on ICP-OES test results rather than guessing. Testing shows whether your chromium level is actually low before you add anything.
Chromium is consumed quickly by marine organisms in a closed aquarium system, so the level does not stay stable indefinitely. Regular testing helps you see how fast it falls in your own tank.
