Red Sea Reef Care Iron+ Trace Colours C
Red Sea's iron supplement for green colour in corals. Red Sea Trace Colours C, labelled by Red Sea as Iron+, supplies iron together with complementary trace elements, and is the part of Red Sea's four part Trace Colours range, A to D, that Red Sea links to the green colours in corals. Iron is its leading element: the one you test to work out how much to add. Sold here in 500 ml and 5 litre bottles.
Key features
- Iron plus complementary trace elements for the green colours in corals, as Red Sea describes it.
- Dosed to demand. Red Sea's method is to test iron and add enough to reach the right level, rather than dosing blind.
- Part of a set. Red Sea splits the 31 trace and minor elements it has identified in coral skeleton and soft tissue into four groups, sold as Trace Colours A, B, C and D.
Specifications
- Red Sea name: Trace Colors C, Iron+
- Leading element: iron, with complementary trace elements
- Colour Red Sea links it to: green
- Sizes: 500 ml and 5 litre
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for reef aquariums with stony corals where you can test iron. Not suitable for fish-only tanks, as it is made for coral colour, or for anyone without an iron test kit. Red Sea says a soft coral tank needs only Trace Colours A and B.
Care
Test iron after first use and after water changes, then dose to bring it back to the right level; the bottle label gives the strength per ml. Do not raise iron by more than 0.05 ppm (parts per million) a day; spread a larger correction over several days. Add it to the sump (the filter tank under the aquarium), or slowly into an area of strong water flow if you have no sump. Check salinity before testing, then test weekly.
Safety
Red Sea warns against dosing past safe levels. If you overdose, Red Sea's advice is to change half the water and halve the dose from then on. Never mix Trace Colours A, B, C or D together in one container: the solutions react with each other at bottle strength, so add each to the tank separately. Keep the bottle closed and out of reach of children and pets.
