Trace-Colors B is a complex of potassium and boron that plays an essential role in the biological processes of coral soft tissue. As a specialized component of the Red Sea Reef Care Program, it is specifically formulated to promote the development of vibrant red and pink pigments in corals. By maintaining these elements at natural seawater levels, you support the internal metabolic health of your reef while enhancing its aesthetic beauty.
To achieve professional results, Trace-Colors B should be dosed in proportion to your corals' calcium consumption to ensure trace elements are replenished as they are used.
