Zincum Lab 200ml

Zincum Lab is a liquid trace-element supplement for marine reef aquariums. It is aimed at keepers who measure their water chemistry and need to correct zinc levels without guesswork. The product is a standardised dose, so the zinc concentration can be adjusted in small, predictable increments.

Why it matters

• Zinc is a component of many enzymes involved in protein metabolism, so it supports the biochemical processes of the tank's inhabitants.
• According to the manufacturer, zinc is also involved in cell division and tissue repair, and it stimulates growth.
• One 1 ml dose raises zinc by 0.001 mg/l (ppm) in 100 litres of water, which makes the effect easy to calculate for a given system volume.
• The manufacturer's recommended zinc range is 0.001–0.007 mg/l (ppm), and dosing is advised to be based on ICP-OES test results.

What it works with

Zincum Lab is designed for marine reef aquariums where trace elements are dosed according to water analysis. Because the dosing effect is given per 100 litres, the required amount depends on the total water volume of the system and the zinc level measured before dosing. It is not a general-purpose product for freshwater or terrarium setups.
