ATI ICP Element Molybdenum - 150 mL
ATI ICP Element Molybdenum is a high-purity, single-element molybdenum solution for precisely adjusting molybdenum levels in reef aquariums. It is part of ATI's revised ICP Elements line, developed and tested in the ATI Lab in Germany, and ATI designs it both for correcting an acute deficiency and for maintaining the daily supply. Pair it with an ATI ICP-OES water analysis to see exactly what your water needs, and browse the rest of our reef supplements.
Why molybdenum matters
- Nitrogen cycle: Molybdenum is a cofactor for enzymes such as nitrate reductase and is needed for biological nitrate reduction.
- Microbial vitality: Supports the bacteria that carry out denitrification; a deficiency can create a bottleneck in biological filtration and let nutrients build up.
- Coral health: Supports broader enzyme pathways tied to long-term coral stability.
Common causes of a deficiency (per ATI): heavy use by denitrifying bacteria, low levels in salt mixes, or removal by media such as zeolite or GFO.
Dosing
- Contents: one bottle holds 90,000 µg of molybdenum
- Standard dose: 1 mL per 100 L (26 gal) raises molybdenum by 6 µg/L
- Safe daily limit: raise molybdenum by no more than 12 µg/L per day (2 mL per 100 L)
- Dose to a current ICP analysis and correct only a measured deficiency, then retest

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an ICP test to use it? ATI built the ICP Elements for precise adjustment, so dose against a measured value. An ICP analysis such as the ATI ICP-OES Pro Water Analysis tells you your current molybdenum level.
How much should I dose? 1 mL per 100 L (26 gal) raises molybdenum by 6 µg/L. Do not raise it by more than 12 µg/L per day (2 mL per 100 L).
Can I use it for daily maintenance? Yes. ATI states the ICP Elements are suited both to correcting acute deficiencies and to maintaining the daily supply.
