Red Sea Trace Colors B - 500ml

Red Sea's research has identified 31 minor and trace elements that in addition to the foundation elements are present in the skeleton and soft tissue of all corals.

The Red Sea Coral Coloration Program's supplements family divides these elements into four groups : Trace - Colors A, B, C and D that are related by the biological functions they perform. They are also associated with the production of specific color pigments in the soft tissue of stony corals. These pigments can only be produced if the specific elements required for the bio-chemical process are available in the correct concentration.

All 31 elements are required by all stony corals irrespective of the actual color the coral displays.

TRACE COLORS B
Potassium and Boron supplement that promotes the Red colors in corals.

POTASSIUM+ Supplement is part of the complete range of complementary major, minor and trace element complexes which together provide the needs of corals.

POTASSIUM+ Supplement contains potassium and boron that are associated with many biological processes, one of them being the production of the red pigments in the soft tissue of corals.

Potassium plays an essential role in the transportation of coral nutrients within the soft tissue (including the nutrients provided by the zooxanthellae). Potassium and boron significantly affect the alkalinity of a coral's soft tissue and the formation of aragonite in its skeleton. Potassium is related to the red chromo-proteins.

Concentration

1ml will raise the potassium level of 100 liters (25 gal) by 1.75ppm
