Fauna Marin Color Elements Red Purple Complex is a specialized, professional-grade trace element supplement formulated to intensify and stabilize the vibrant red, pink, orange, and purple hues in stony corals (SPS and LPS). This innovative mixture is designed to align the micronutrient consumption of tropical corals with the specific spectrum of modern LED lighting systems. By providing a stabilized budget of growth-active elements, it prevents the browning of sensitive species and protects coral tissue from radiation stress, ensuring a "shining" metallic glow and healthy growth in high-energy reef environments.
This complex focuses on the specific catalysts required for the metabolic pathways of warm-spectrum coral pigments.
Intensifies Warm Tones: Specifically engineered to boost the production of chromoproteins responsible for shining red, orange, and pink colors, preventing pigment loss in ultra-low nutrient systems.
Enhanced Calcification: Supplies growth-active elements that increase the calcification rate, helping corals build stronger and more dense aragonite skeletons.
LED Optimized Formula: Aligns trace element availability with the unique light stress and photosynthetic rates induced by modern LED systems.
Radiation Stress Protection: Contains elements that help corals manage light-active stress, reducing the risk of photo-inhibition and tissue damage.
Prevents Algae Growth: The unique formulation is designed for 100% biological utilization, ensuring no excess metals remain to fuel nuisance algae or reach toxic levels.

Can I mix this with the Blue/Purple Complex?
Yes. These complexes are designed to be used together. By combining the Red/Purple, Green/Blue, and Blue/Purple complexes, you can specifically control and enhance the entire color spectrum of your reef.
Should I use this if I use a standard salt mix?
Yes. This formula is adapted to modern artificial sea salt mixes which often lack the specific stabilized trace elements required for the high-intensity growth seen under LED lighting.
Is it safe for my biological filter?
Absolutely. The complex is based on inorganic compounds that are directly absorbed by the corals and do not negatively affect your nitrifying bacteria.
What are the safety precautions?
The product contains concentrated heavy metals. Always avoid contact with skin and eyes, do not swallow, and keep it out of reach of children.
