Vanadium importance

[scotty333]

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

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.

Probably , like I’ve found with manganese , molybdenum, strontium is 8 so I’ve just added a small dose
