Coral Colours C Supplement is part of the complete range of complementary major and minor & trace elements complexes which together provide the needs of Corals. Reef Colours C supplement contains Iron, Magnesium and other trace elements that are associated with many biological processes, one of them being the production of green / yellow pigments in the soft Coral tissue.

To ensure Coral health, the ppm level of these elements must be maintained within a narrow band and therefore should only be dosed accordingly to a measured requirement of the aquarium. For optimal results, dose accordingly to a measured uptake of Iodine using RedSea's Reef Colours Test Kit. An easier alternative is to dose in proportion to the dosing of RedSea's Foundation A Calcium / Strontium) supplement. For best results in displaying Coral colours use RedSea's NO3:PO4-X.

Reef Colour C (Iron/Trace) - Complex of 8 “light” metals that includes Iron, Manganese, Cobalt, Copper,Aluminium, Zinc, Chrome and Nickel. Essential micro-elements with fundamental roles in many bio-chemical metabolic processes including respiration and production of energy,chlorophyll and photosynthetic catalysts. C elements are related to the green/yellow chromo-proteins.

Reef Corals and their needs:

Red Sea’s research into the metabolic demand of SPS, LPS & soft corals has identified 27
minor and trace elements that in addition to the foundation elements are present in the
skeleton and soft tissue of all corals. These elements are known as important bio-catalysts
in thousands of metabolic processes in marine organisms and therefore must be readily
available in all reef aquariums. Many of them however become toxic in concentrations
above the levels found in natural sea water and therefore their correct dosage is crucial to
the long term success of any reef aquarium.RedSea's research has identified 4 distinct groups of elements with similar biological functionsas well as a direct connection to specific coral pigments that enabled the division of the 27 elements into the 4 supplements Reef Colours A, B, C & D. Reef Colours supplements have been formulated such that the ratio of the elements in each supplement are the same as are found in the combined coral skeleton and soft tissue.
All of the Reef Colours should be supplemented regularly to all LPS and SPS aquariums
without connection to the colours of the specific corals or whether the water parameters
(levels of foundation elements and algae nutrients) are set for enhanced colouration or
accelerated growth.
