ATI® ICP Element | Lithium (Li) 150ml

High-Purity Single Element Supplementation

Part of the completely revised ATI® ICP Elements lineup, this high-purity lithium solution is designed for the precise adjustment of element levels in reef aquariums. Developed and tested in the ATI® Lab in Germany, these solutions are ideal for both compensating acute deficiencies and maintaining daily element supply to ensure a balanced and biologically functional reef environment.

The Role of Lithium (Li) in Reef Systems

While specific deficiency symptoms are not yet fully documented, lithium is a significant trace element due to its chemical properties in seawater.

• Ionic Presence: Lithium is an extremely light element. Despite its low overall concentration, there is a very high number of lithium ions present in natural seawater, suggesting a foundational biological role.

• Potential Benefits: It is theorized that lithium may influence enzyme activity and overall cellular metabolic processes within reef organisms.

• Common Causes of Deficiency: Primarily caused by the use of low-lithium salt mixes or the use of media such as zeolite and activated carbon, which can strip trace elements from the water column.

The ATI® ICP Elements Advantage

• Laboratory Grade: Produced using only the highest grade raw materials, tested for purity by the ATI® Lab in Germany.
