Red Sea TRACE COLORS B (POTASSIUM+) is a potassium and boron supplement designed to promote the red coloration in corals. Part of the complete range of complementary major, minor, and trace element complexes, this supplement provides essential elements that support key biological processes in corals.
Potassium is crucial for the transportation of coral nutrients within the soft tissue, including nutrients provided by zooxanthellae. Both potassium and boron influence the alkalinity of coral soft tissue and aid in the formation of aragonite in the coral skeleton. Potassium is specifically linked to red chromo-proteins, enhancing natural coral pigmentation.
For best results in displaying coral colors, use Red Sea’s NO3: PO4–X as part of the complete Reef Care Program.
