Red Sea Reef Colours D - Bio Active Trace Elements

Trace element complex that promote the Purple/Blue colours in corals

Coral Colours D Supplement is part of the complete range of complementary major, minor & trace element complexes which together provide the needs of corals.

Coral Colours D Supplement contains a blend of trace elements that are associated with many biological processes, one of them being the production of the purple/blue pigments in the soft tissue of corals.

To ensure coral health, the ppm level of these elements must be maintained within a narrow band and therefore should only be dosed according to a measured requirement of the aquarium.

For optimal results, dose in proportion to the dosing of Red Sea's Foundation A (Calcium/Strontium) Supplement.

For best results in displaying coral colours use Red Sea's N03: PO4- X.

Red Sea Reef Care - Nitrate NO3 and Phosphate PO4 Reducer

Prevents nuisance algae and enables control of zooxanthellae for optimum coral growth and coloration

Red Sea NO3: PO4-X is a unique complex of carbons that are used by nutrient reducing bacteria. Each carbon in the complex is utilised by different strains of microorganisms while ensuring the specific Carbon:Nitrogen:Phosphorus ratio required for each stage.

The Red Sea NO3: PO4-X complex includes other organic-bonded elements that are important stimulators in each stage of the reduction process. These metal and non-metals elements ensure steady bacterial propagation, complete nitrate reduction to nitrogen gas as well as the absorption and utilisation of phosphate by the bacteria.

The fine control of the nitrate and phosphate levels provided by monitored dosing of NO3: PO4-X guarantees the gradual changes and accurate maintenance of the nutrient levels. This prevents the destruction of the Zooxanthellae population that can cause UV shock and starvation of the corals.

Unlike some other low-nutrient regimes, correct use of NO3: PO4 -X will maintain all of the micro-fauna that are beneficial for the reef.

NO3: PO4-X is also recommended as a complete carbon source for use with carbon-based de-nitrators.

Dosage: 2ml per 100 litres per day

Our experienced team of professionals perform ICP-OES analysis to verify that the chemical composition is within consistent range, and to rule out the presence of unwanted contaminants at the same ti me. Note: Even though our salt is thoroughly mixed, not every bucket/box will be identical. The parameters can vary slightly between containers and around a 2-3% variation is acceptable. This fluctuation is a result of both physical properties of the mix and the limitations of the processing techniques available. These variations are still smaller than the typical margin for error for popular hobbyist test kits.

The Aquaforest most advanced reef salt

Aquaforest Hybrid Pro Salt is the most advanced sea salt created for use in the most demanding marine aquariums. Its unique formula makes it a unique product on the aquarium market. Hybrid Pro Salt was inspired by years of observation of both aquariums run on natural seawater and those using chemically pure laboratory salt. It is impossible to determine unequivocally which method is “the better one”, so we decided to combine the strengths of one and the other in one product – Aquaforest Hybrid Pro Salt. 

Hybrid Pro Salt is the most advanced aquarium salt formula that combines the best of both worlds. On the one hand, we use the chemically purest laboratory salt, which guarantees stability and predictability of water parameters. On the other hand, we add flakes of natural salt extracted from the purest waters of the Atlantic to ensure a wealth of micronutrients. In addition, the salt is enriched with probiotic bacteria. These beneficial microorganisms take care of water purity, control nitrate and phosphate levels, which affects the healthy growth of corals and their proper coloration. This is especially important in breeding the most demanding SPS corals. It is worth noting that Hybrid Pro Salt is much more than just salt. It’s a comprehensive formula that provides corals with everything they need for proper development.  It contains micro- and macro-elements in the right amounts, as well as amino acids and supporting the health and condition of underwater fauna – vitamin C.

Unique hybrid salt formula designed by specialists

Hybrid Pro Salt is the result of years of research and experience. We collected, and then tested, water samples from coral reefs in Egypt, Kenya, Indonesia and Fiji. As a result, we gained confidence that the parameters obtained after preparing the brine perfectly meet the needs of even the most demanding corals. Unlike the ocean, an aquarium is a closed system in which the consumption of selected elements takes place much faster, so we decided to raise the levels of the most consumed micronutrients such as strontium and iodine. All this to create a formula that will support the healthy development of fish and corals on a daily basis. 

What makes Hybrid Pro Salt unique?

• Hybrid Pro Salt incorporates chemically pure, laboratory-made salt with natural sea salt flakes from the cleanest waters of the North Atlantic Ocean
• Proprietary blend of probiotic bacteria to reduce nitrate and phosphate levels while increasing color intensity and growth potential often inhibited by high phosphate levels.
• Has a number of micro and macro trace elements and enriched with the highest quality amino acids and vitamins aiding in immunity and natural metabolic functions.

By choosing Aquaforest products, you can be sure that the salt you choose will be safe for your aquarium, and that the parameters obtained will not differ from those declared. Each batch of Aquaforest Hybrid Pro Salt is tested in a specialized laboratory. An experienced team of laboratory technicians performs a thorough analysis on two ICP-OES spectrometers. One for micronutrient content, the other for macronutrient content. The results of these tests are available online.

TIPS

• We recommend keeping the dKH between 7.5-8.5 to help the probiotic bacteria reproduce. Higher/lower levels may reduce bacterial activity
• When setting up new aquariums, we recommend introducing the first fish/corals no earlier than 10-14 days after the tank is established and water parameters stabilized

The Hanna Phosphorus Ultra Low-Range (0 to 200 ppb) Checker® bridges the gap between simple chemical test kits and professional instrumentation. Chemical test kits have limited accuracy and resolution since they rely upon the human eye to discern differences in color. Professional instrumentation incorporates a light source such as an LED or tungsten lamp with a filter and a light sensing detector to precisely determine ion concentration. Professional instrumentation offers greater resolution and accuracy but can cost hundreds of dollars. The Hanna Phosphorus Ultra Low-Range Checker® uses a fixed wavelength LED and silicon photo detector to provide the accuracy of professional instrumentation at the affordable price of a chemical test kit.
