FAQ Section: Common Questions
How do I know how much Trace-Colors D to dose? For the most accurate results, Trace-Colors D should be dosed based on a measured calcium uptake. Red Sea recommends dosing 1ml of Trace-Colors D for every 20ppm of Calcium added to the system.
Does this supplement only affect color? Although named for their color-enhancing properties, these 18 bioactive elements are essential to the overall metabolic health of coral soft tissue.
Can I use this without the other Trace-Color supplements? While it can be used alone to target blue/purple colors, it is best used as part of the complete Trace-Colors A|B|C|D pack to ensure no other trace elements become a limiting factor for growth or health.
