The Reef Colors program is specially designed to supply the essential minor and trace elements that corals naturally absorb into their skeletons and soft tissues. These vital elements are necessary for SPS corals to thrive and exhibit their natural, vibrant coloration. Each Red Sea Products element in the program plays a specific role in enhancing coral health and beauty.
Reef Colors B, in particular, is a carefully formulated potassium complex. Potassium is a key element that directly influences the red pigments found in corals, helping them develop rich and striking red hues. The aquarium water treatments supplementing this essential nutrient, Reef Colors B supports not only the growth of corals but also maximizes their ability to display vivid coloration. When used as part of the complete Reef Colors program, it ensures a balanced supply of nutrients, allowing SPS corals to maintain optimal health, natural vibrancy, and brilliant color expression in reef aquariums.
Key Benefits
- Potassium, the main ingredient, plays a crucial role in boosting the red chromo-proteins (such as peridinin and neo-peridinin), resulting in vivid red hues in corals.
- Potassium is essential for moving nutrients within coral soft tissue, including those from symbiotic Zooxanthellae, optimizing coral metabolism.
- Enriched with potassium and boron, this supplement aids in maintaining proper alkalinity inside coral tissue and supports the formation of aragonite in coral skeletons, crucial for overall coral strength and vitality.
- Reef Colors B is formulated to replenish minor and trace elements taken up during coral growth, promoting balanced water chemistry and safe long-term use for optimal growth and coloration.
- The recommended dose is based on calcium uptake measurements, ensuring all elements are supplied in correct, natural seawater ratios for stable reef tanks and minimal risk of toxicity.
