FAQs

How often should I dose?

Dosing frequency depends on your tank's consumption rate, but typically it is added daily or every other day to maintain stable levels.

Can I use this with other color supplements?

Yes, it is designed to be used in conjunction with other Red Sea Coral Colors supplements to achieve a full spectrum of coral vitality.

Is it safe for invertebrates?

When used according to the recommended dosage, it is safe for corals, clams, and other reef invertebrates.

What is the primary function of Boron in this mix?

Boron acts as a buffer and helps facilitate the metabolic pathways required for coral skeletal growth and nutrient transport.

Should I dose based on alkalinity?

No, dose based on the specific uptake of potassium, not your alkalinity or calcium dosing schedules.

Troubleshooting

Potassium levels rising too high

Cease dosing immediately and perform a water change; allow the corals to consume the excess naturally before resuming at a lower dose.

No visible change in coral color

Verify that your lighting spectrum is sufficient for red pigments and ensure other parameters like alkalinity and calcium are stable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Targets specific red coral pigments for visible coloration improvements
  • Supports long-term coral metabolic health and growth
  • Easy to calculate dosage based on water volume

Cons

  • Requires regular testing to ensure stable ppm levels
  • Not suitable for beginners unfamiliar with trace element management

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using this supplement, first perform a baseline test of your potassium levels using a reliable test kit. It is recommended to keep potassium levels between 380 and 450 ppm for optimal results.

  1. Calculate your system's net water volume by subtracting rock and sand displacement.
  2. Start with a conservative dose if your corals are currently pale or stressed.
  3. Add the supplement to a high-flow area of your sump to ensure thorough mixing.
  4. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the trace elements.
  5. Keep the cap tightly closed to prevent evaporation or contamination.
