Trace Metals A, B, C

Trace Metals A, B, C is a complete trace element supplement containing 18 essential elements corals require for growth, colour, and resilience. In thriving reef systems, these elements are rapidly depleted and must be replenished consistently. Trace Metals A, B, C delivers a balanced formulation that supports skeletal strength, tissue development, pigmentation, and coral vitality, ensuring your reef remains healthy and vibrant.

Key Benefits

• Supplies 18 different trace elements essential for coral health.
• Promotes stronger skeletal formation and faster growth.
• Enhances pigmentation for richer, more vibrant colours.
• Improves coral resilience and stress resistance.
• Helps maintain stable trace element balance in growing reef tanks.
• Complements Calcium, Magnesium, and Alkalinity with Trace dosing for a complete reef-care system.

How It Works
Corals absorb and utilise trace metals for critical biological functions such as calcification, enzyme activity, and pigment formation. When trace metals are deficient, growth slows, colour fades, and resilience decreases. Trace Metals A, B, C replenishes these elements in a balanced ratio, keeping them bioavailable for corals to naturally assimilate. By maintaining adequate levels, corals achieve improved structure, enhanced colouration, and more robust metabolic activity.

Dosing Guidelines

• Initial Week Protocol: When first starting Trace Metals A, B, C, dose the weekly amount daily for the first 7 days. This allows corals to rapidly replenish deficiencies. Corals that are lacking in certain elements will quickly absorb what they require, which can otherwise create a shortfall for others. This initial dosing ensures all corals are fully replenished.
• Standard Ongoing Dose (every 3 days):
  • Low Stocking Density: 2 mL per 100 L
  • Medium Stocking Density: 4 mL per 100 L
  • High Stocking Density: 6 mL per 100 L
• If unsure, begin with the lower dose and adjust gradually based on coral response.
• Every reef is unique; start slow, ICP test regularly, and observe coral response to fine-tune your dosing routine.

Application Tips

• Dose into a high-flow area such as the sump or return chamber for even distribution.
• Monitor coral response; improved polyp extension, growth, and colour are good indicators.
• Avoid sudden large increases in dose; stability is critical.
• Use in conjunction with Calcium, Magnesium, and Alkalinity with Trace dosing to provide a complete spectrum of essential elements.
• Combine with regular water testing and ICP analysis for best long-term results.

Safety & Handling

• Not for human or animal consumption.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Trace metal solutions may cause staining or mild irritation; handle with care.
• Avoid contact with skin or eyes; gloves and eye protection are recommended.
• In case of skin or eye contact, rinse with fresh water for 15 minutes.
• If swallowed or if irritation persists, seek immediate medical advice.

Best Used When

• Starting a new dosing regimen to replenish trace element deficiencies.
• Corals show slowed growth, pale tissue, or reduced pigmentation.
• Running an actively stocked reef with growing SPS, LPS, and soft corals.
• Fine-tuning colouration and resilience based on ICP test results.
• Supporting long-term coral health and peak performance.
