Bromine (Br) in seawater consists mainly of bromide ions (Br-). Under certain conditions, bromide can oxidize to other reactive forms, such as hypobromous acid (HOBr) and bromine gas (Br2). These compounds can interact with both organic and inorganic matter, significantly affecting the chemical dynamics of your reef system.

Bromine plays a key role in the biochemistry of marine organisms, including corals. It is necessary for the formation of halogenated organic compounds, which support biological functions such as defense and metabolism.

According to the Reef Zlements blend classification, bromine is identified as a type C element, meaning it must be carefully integrated into your dosing regimen.

Available content: 1 liter bottle

Important Note: If you are using ozone in your system, it is crucial to carefully dose bromine. The combination of ozone and bromine can lead to the formation of bromate, a toxic compound. Always run ozonated water through an activated carbon filter to avoid this risk.
