FAQs

What is the difference between Trace Colors A, B, C, and D?

Each part targets specific elements and biological functions: A contains Iodine, Bromine, and Fluorine for pink colors; B contains Potassium and Boron for red colors; C contains Iron and 8 complementary elements for green colors; D contains 18 bioactive elements for purple and blue colors.

How often should I dose these supplements?

Dosing frequency and amount depend on your aquarium's specific consumption rate. Red Sea recommends starting with their automated dosing recommendations and adjusting based on water testing, particularly using Trace Color Pro Test Kits.

Do I need to use all four parts (A, B, C, D)?

Yes, all 31 minor and trace elements provided across the four parts are required by all corals to display their full color potential. They are grouped by function but all contribute to overall health and coloration.

Can I overdose my tank with these supplements?

Yes, overdosing any trace element supplement can be harmful. It is crucial to follow recommended dosing guidelines and adjust based on regular water testing to maintain optimal levels.

What are the main benefits of using this product?

The main benefits include enhancing natural coral coloration, supporting overall coral health by providing essential trace elements, and aiding in pigment development through scientifically balanced formulations.

Are these supplements safe for all reef tank inhabitants?

These supplements are specifically formulated for stony corals and the reef environment. While generally safe for a well-maintained reef aquarium, always dose according to instructions and monitor inhabitants for any adverse reactions.

How long does a 100ml bottle typically last?

The duration depends entirely on the aquarium size and the consumption rate of the corals. Smaller tanks with high coral load may deplete a bottle faster than larger tanks with fewer corals.

Troubleshooting

Coral colors not improving

Ensure Foundation Elements (Calcium, Alkalinity, Magnesium) are stable and within the target range. Verify trace element dosing is accurate and consistent. Check aquarium lighting and water flow, as these also significantly impact coral color.

Cloudy water after dosing

This may indicate overdosing or incompatible elements. Reduce the dosage immediately and perform a water change if necessary. Ensure you are dosing each part separately with adequate time between additions.

Trace Colors Pro Test Kit shows erratic readings

Ensure the test kit is within its expiration date and has been stored correctly. Clean the test vials thoroughly before each use. Reconfirm that you are using the correct test kit for the specific element being measured.

  • Aims to enhance natural coral coloration and vibrancy.
  • Formulated based on scientific research of coral physiology.
  • Allows for precise dosing with compatible test kits.
  • Convenient starter pack includes all necessary components.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This pack contains four separate 100ml bottles: Trace Colors A, B, C, and D. It is recommended to dose these supplements according to the consumption rate of your aquarium, which can be estimated based on calcium uptake or measured directly using Red Sea's Trace Color Pro Test Kits. Always dose each part separately and allow at least one hour between additions. It is advisable to dose into a high-flow area of the aquarium.

Compatibility: The Coral Colors Complete Pack is designed to complement Red Sea's Foundation Elements (Foundation A, B, C) and is suitable for all saltwater reef aquariums housing stony corals (SPS, LPS) and other demanding invertebrates. It provides elements beyond the core three, supporting complex biological processes.

Care: Store the bottles in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Ensure caps are tightly sealed after each use. Keep out of reach of children and pets. While the supplements themselves do not require refrigeration, maintaining a stable, cool storage environment will preserve their efficacy.
