Oceamo Single Element – Manganese (Mn)

High-Purity Trace Element Support for Coral Metabolism and Colouration

Manganese is an essential trace element involved in coral metabolic processes, enzyme activation, photosynthesis (via zooxanthellae), and oxidative stress protection. In actively growing SPS/LPS systems — especially ULNS-style or ICP-guided trace-managed reefs — manganese is often consumed faster than it is replenished, leading to measurable deficits.

Why Manganese Matters

Manganese plays a supporting role in skeletal development and nutrient utilisation, and is included in many trace-managed SPS systems where stable intake has been associated with consistent vitality and colour stability. When ICP analysis identifies a manganese shortfall, restoring levels can support normal metabolic efficiency and coral health trends.

Under ICP-guided monitoring, many reef systems operate successfully within a manganese band appropriate to their biological load and consumption rate. Oceamo recommends a maximum daily increase of +1 µg/L (0.5 ml per 100 L).

Why Choose Oceamo Manganese

• 1 ml / 100 L = +2 µg/L (ppb) – a clear and controllable dosing strength ideal for precision correction

• Available in both 250 ml and 1 L sizes – offering long-term value for trace-managed systems

• Pharmaceutical-grade purity, produced from high-quality raw materials

• Developed and quality-controlled in Oceamo’s own dedicated laboratory in Austria, with full batch traceability

• Ideal for reefkeepers following ICP-driven trace correction or structured elemental dosing methods

When consistency, purity, and fine control matter, Oceamo delivers a manganese supplement built for serious reefkeepers who rely on measurable results.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is manganese important in a reef aquarium?
   Manganese acts as an essential cofactor in coral metabolic and photosynthetic processes. It supports enzyme activity and is commonly depleted in active SPS systems or ULNS environments.

2. How do I know if my tank needs manganese?
   The only reliable way is through ICP testing. If manganese is consistently reported below the recommended range, controlled supplementation is advised.

3. Can manganese be overdosed?
   Yes – excessive manganese levels may cause imbalances or stress. Always monitor with ICP testing and follow Oceamo’s recommended maximum daily increase.
