Boron

Introduction:

Boron (B) is a macro element which is present in seawater as boric acid and borate. Unlike sodium, chloride, magnesium, sulphur, and other macro elements, it has a relatively low concentration of around 4.5 mg/L. Boron in seawater contributes to alkalinity and plays a significant role in regulating pH through its speciation between boric acid and borate ion.

Coral species such as Cladocora caespitosa and others exhibit a strong pH dependence on boron isotope compositions. This relationship helps corals regulate internal pH levels, which is critical for calcification processes.


Dosing:

20 mL of Boron Zlement increases the Boron concentration of 100 litres by 1 mg/L.

As per Reef Zlements mixing classification Boron is a Type C element.
