Red Sea Coral Colors C is a complex of 8 “light” metals that includes Iron, Manganese, Cobalt, Copper, Aluminum, Zinc, Chrome and Nickel. These micro-elements are essential to many bio-chemical metabolic processes, including respiration, production of energy, chlorophyll and photosynthetic catalysts. C elements are related to the green/yellowchroma-proteins.Weekly dosing - Soft CoralsTest the Color Elements every week and dose each supplement to replenish back to the optimal levels.Daily dosing - SPS coralsEnsure that all of the Color Elements are at optimal values and run the aquarium for4 days at a stable salinity (compensate for evaporation daily) without adding anysupplements. At the end of the 4 days test the Color Elements and calculate the “4 day dosage” of each supplement to replenish back to the optimal levels. Add the “4 day dosage” to the system. Divide this “4 day dosage” by 4 and use as the daily dosage for the next week.After a week of adding the daily dosage, test the Color Elements and calculate the adjusting dosage of each supplement to replenish back to the optimal levels. If the adjusting dosage is significantly different from the previous daily dosage amend (increase/decrease) the daily dosage as appropriate. If the measured level of a specific element is above the optimal level wait for the excess of the element to be depleted before restarting the daily supplementation with the amended daily dosage. Continue testing all of the elements every week and make adjustments to the dailydosages as required. As your corals grow or you add or remove livestock the uptake of the elements in your aquarium will gradually change. It is recommended to keep a log book of the weekly measurements and dosages.If you miss one or more days of supplementing add the complete amount that you have missed but do not exceed the maximum recommended daily increase for any of the elements.

TRACE COLORS A Iodine, Bromine and Fluorine supplement that promotes the Pink colors in corals IODINE+ Supplement is part of the complete range of complementary major, minor and trace element complexes which together provide the needs of corals. IODINE+ Supplement contains iodine and other halogens that are associated with many biological processes, one of them being the production of the pink pigments in the soft tissue of corals. The halogens act both as antioxidants and oxidative agents within the soft tissue and mucus layer of corals, reducing the possibility of coral bleaching. In active reef systems, these elements are depleted quickly due to their high oxidative abilities and reactivity with organic materials. Iodine and bromine are related to the pink chromo-protein (pocciloporin). For best results in displaying coral colors use Red Sea’s NO3: PO4– X. 1ml will raise the iodine level of 100 liters (25 gal) by 0.03ppm

Coralific Delite™ is a revolutionary diet, specifically developed for corals and their unique nutritional needs while offering two modes of feeding: "Targeted Gel Feeding" directly on the mouth of a specific coral or "Squirt & Go™ Feeding" which allows the coral polyps to capture the food in the water column like they would zooplankton. Dual Use – Offers Maximum Feeding Flexibility Can be used with a syringe in its gel form as a target food Can be used after a short hydration period as a broadcast feed for larger coral populations Excellent zooplankton replacement Offers immediate feeding response Give Your Corals The Boost They Crave Accelerates coral growth Visible color improvement Contains necessary nutrients inverts require, specifically: trace elements, proteins, vitamins and astaxanthin. 1. Targeted Gel FeedingMix two parts tank water to one part Coralific Delite™ to form a gel. Let soak 3 minutes to set, then use a syringe or dropper to squirt food in a slow back and forth motion and place the mixture on the mouth of the coral to be fed.Ideal for many LPS (large polyp stony corals) and sea anemone which have larger mouths.2. Squirt & Go™ FeedingMix four parts tank water to one part Coralific Delite™ to form a low viscosity liquid with a creamy texture. Use a dropper to squirt food with a slow motion in the vicinity of the corals to be fed. The viscosity can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the amount of tank water used.Ideal for soft corals like horny coral and feather dusters which have a smaller mouth.Care should be taken to avoid using too much Coralific Delite™ at one time. The food is highly concentrated and a very small size. Most consumers have a tendency to use too much which cause water quality issues. Smaller amounts more than once a day is a better option than too much at one time. Especially when using as a direct feed. Allowing excessive food to site on the coral for an extended period of time is not desirable.Note: Hikari® Coralific Delite™ contains higher levels of natural ingredients which may cause a slight change in color from one production lot to another.
