Red Sea Trace-Colors C (Iron+) is a specialized, laboratory-grade marine supplement engineered to promote intense green and yellow coloration in hard corals while supporting critical biochemical processes. Part of Red Sea’s comprehensive Reef Care Program, this liquid formula binds iron with seven complementary light metals to ensure rapid biological absorption. It targets the production of specific chromoproteins that shield delicate coral tissues from high-intensity lighting while fueling metabolic catalysts.
Core Chemical Composition
The supplement is a complex of eight foundational "light" metals essential for photosynthesis and cell respiration:
Iron (Fe) & Manganese (Mn): The primary drivers for chlorophyll synthesis and photosynthetic catalysts.
Cobalt (Co) & Copper (Cu): Vital trace elements used in enzyme production and cellular respiration.
Aluminum (Al) & Zinc (Zn): Support soft tissue development and skeletal growth catalysts.
Chrome (Cr) & Nickel (Ni): Crucial heavy micro-metals for broad metabolic functions.
Key Performance Benefits
Targeted Pigment Enhancement: Directly stimulates the production of green and yellow chromoproteins within small polyp stony (SPS) and large polyp stony (LPS) coral tissues.
Optimized Photosynthesis: Provides the essential raw micro-metals needed by symbiotic zooxanthellae algae to convert aquarium light into immediate cellular energy.
Fixed Elemental Proportions: Formulated so that the micro-metals exist in the exact same biological ratios found within natural coral skeletons and living tissue profiles.
