Red Sea Reef Care Potassium+ Trace Colours B
Red Sea's potassium supplement for red colour in corals. Red Sea Trace Colours B, labelled by Red Sea as Potassium+, is the potassium supplement in Red Sea's four part Trace Colours range, A to D, and the one Red Sea links to the red colours in corals. Potassium 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
- Potassium supplement for the red colours in corals, as Red Sea describes it.
- Dosed to demand. Red Sea's method is to test potassium 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 B, Potassium+
- Leading element: potassium
- Colour Red Sea links it to: red
- Sizes: 500 ml and 5 litre
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for reef aquariums with stony or soft corals where you can test potassium. Not suitable for fish-only tanks, as it is made for coral colour, or for anyone without a potassium test kit.
Care
Test potassium 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 potassium by more than 10 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. Red Sea says a soft coral tank needs only Trace Colours A and B, dosed 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.
