Red Sea Potassium+ Trace Coral Color B is a potassium and boron supplement that promotes the red colours in the soft tissue of corals.
Potassium is an essential nutrient for all corals, but it is especially important for corals that display red colouration. Boron also plays a role in the colouration of corals, and it can help to improve the overall health and vitality of corals.
In active reef systems, these elements are depleted quickly due to their high oxidative abilities and Potassium plays an essential role in the transportation of coral nutrients within the soft tissue (including the nutrients provided by the Zooxanthellae).
Potassium and Boron significantly affect the Alkalinity of a coral’s soft tissue and the formation of Aragonite in its skeleton. Potassium is related to the red Chromoproteins.
Red Sea Potassium+ Trace Coral Color B is easy to use. Simply add 1mL of the product per 100 Litres (25 gallons) of aquarium water.
