Reef Blueprint is 100% U.S.-made in our private, climate-controlled facility.
Our formulations are extensively tested and proven in commercial coral aquaculture to improve coloration, growth rates, and robustness of corals.
We utilize clean components (generally exceeding 99.50% purity) to produce highly-concentrated solutions and dry blends, without any artificial colors, preservatives, fillers, or pH-modifiers.
The result is a cleaner system with noticeably healthier livestock.

Calculate the impact of Isol8 Ca(OH)2 solution ("kalkwasser") on calcium and alkalinity in your system
If you're currently employing our Isol8 Ca(OH)2 to produce kalkwasser solution for system dosing and would like to know the extent to which it's helping maintain calcium and alkalinity values, then please download our calculator.
Need help applying ICP results to your system?
You have had an ICP analysis performed on your system, but how do you assess the results and then accurately apply the tools at your disposal to make necessary adjustments to critical ionic values? Simple: download our ICP tool and enter the results. Dosing recommendations are automatically calculated. Feel free to email us the saved file if you have questions or would like a more thorough review of the analysis as it pertains to system husbandry.
Be prepared for hurricane season and extended interruptions to power and clean water with Elimin8 DIN
Hurricane season is now in full gear, and with it comes an increased likelihood that interruptions in power and water will occur. The extent to which a system can tolerate an interruption is largely influenced by the rate of nutrient accretion and the BOD. Reduced nitrogen conversion rates are typical during an extended power outage, potentially resulting in a rise in ammonia which may have lethal consequences on cohort members.
Elimin8 DIN is a microbial suspension which can reduce ammonia content by up to 50% of the initial concentration within a 24-hour span. Application of Elimin8 DIN ("Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen") on a gradual basis during an extended power interruption can help maintain biological integrity in the system, and can mitigate losses to valuable cohort members. Elimin8 DIN does not require refrigeration.

We stand 100% in support of Ukraine
With deep European family ancestry (including Finn, Czech, British, and German), our hearts and prayers are with the people of Ukraine as they fight for their homes and very existence against the onslaught of Russian barbarism. It is clear through their actions against Ukraine that Russian leadership has lost whatever sense they once may have had. Effective immediately, Captiv8 Aquaculture will begin to replace any materials which originate in China utilized in our products; this decision is made as a result of China's obvious indifference in this situation, given their transparent intention to occupy Taiwan in a similar vein. Additionally, we are banning export of our products to Russia, Belarus, China, and countries whose leadership is in apparent support of Russia's attack on Ukraine. Beginning March 4, a percentage of all sales, and $2 USD per sample request, will be donated to organizations supporting Ukraine. This donation policy will remain in place until this crisis is brought to a close.
