The Fauna Marin Color Elements Blue Purple Complex is a professional-grade trace element supplement specifically formulated to intensify the blue and purple coloration in stony corals (SPS and LPS). Part of the Fauna Marin "Color Elements" series, this complex provides a targeted blend of micronutrients that are essential for the production of specialized chromoproteins. By replenishing these rapidly depleted elements, it helps corals achieve a "shining" metallic blue luster and deep purple hues while supporting overall metabolic health and growth.
This complex focuses on the specific chemical catalysts required for the most sought-after colors in the reef hobby.
Intensifies Blue & Purple Tones: Specifically balanced to provide the elements that corals use to synthesize blue and purple pigments, preventing the "fading" or "browning" often seen in low-nutrient systems.
Essential Trace Elements: Contains a high-purity blend of Iodine, Bromine, Fluorine, and Lithium, which are critical for the biological function of coral tissue and the health of symbiotic zooxanthellae.
Optimized for Modern Filtration: Developed to perform exceptionally well in systems using Zeolite filtration, carbon dosing, or heavy protein skimming, where trace elements are stripped from the water quickly.
Synergistic Growth Effect: Beyond color, these elements act as enzymatic cofactors that support faster tissue repair and skeletal calcification.
Ultra-Pure Formulation: Sourced from the highest quality raw materials to ensure no unwanted heavy metals or impurities are introduced to the reef environment.

Can I use this with other color supplements?
Yes. This is designed to work alongside the Green/Blue Complex and Red/Purple Complex from Fauna Marin. Each focuses on a different spectrum of elements to provide a full rainbow of coral colors.
What happens if I overdose?
Overdosing trace elements can lead to darkened coral tissue or, in extreme cases, toxicity. Always start with 50% of the recommended dose and observe your corals over 2–3 weeks before increasing.
Does this replace my daily Iodine dosing?
While this complex contains Iodine, high-demand tanks may still require supplemental Fauna Marin Elementals Iodine to keep levels at the natural seawater baseline (0.06 ppm).
Is it safe for automated dosing?
Absolutely. The solution is highly stable and does not require shaking or refrigeration, making it perfect for use with high-precision dosing pumps.
Fauna Marin Color Elements Red Purple Complex: Complete the color spectrum by adding the elements needed for vibrant reds, pinks, and oranges.
Fauna Marin Balling Light Set: The foundation system that these color elements are designed to complement for a perfectly balanced reef.
BPK Dosing Tube Holder: Securely organize your color element delivery lines to prevent drips and siphoning in your sump area.
