{"product_id":"trace-metals-a","title":"Trace Elements A","description":"\u003cp\u003eTrace Elements 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 Elements A, B, C delivers a balanced formulation that supports skeletal strength, tissue development, pigmentation, and coral vitality, ensuring your reef remains healthy and vibrant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplies 18 different trace elements\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSr, Ba, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cr, Co, Ni, K, I, Na, F, Mo, B, Cu, V, Br, Li.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes stronger skeletal formation and faster growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhances pigmentation for richer, more vibrant colours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves coral resilience and stress resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps maintain stable trace element balance in growing reef tanks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromote Enzyme activation in corals. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplements Calcium, Magnesium, and Alkalinity with Trace dosing for a complete reef-care system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCorals absorb and utilise trace elements for critical biological functions such as calcification, enzyme activity, and pigment formation. When trace elements are deficient, growth slows, colour fades, and resilience decreases. Trace Elements 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosing Guidelines\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial Week Protocol: When first starting Trace Elements A, B, C, dose your 3 daily amount daily for the first 2 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard Ongoing Dose (every 3 days):\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow Stocking Density: 2 mL per 100 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium Stocking Density: 3 mL per 100 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Stocking Density: 4 mL per 100 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf unsure, begin with the lower dose and adjust gradually based on coral response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery reef is unique; start slow, ICP test regularly, and observe coral response to fine-tune your dosing routine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eUse within 1 year of opening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDose into a high-flow area such as the sump or return chamber for even distribution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonitor coral response; improved polyp extension, growth, and colour are good indicators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid sudden large increases in dose; stability is critical.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse in conjunction with Calcium, Magnesium, and Alkalinity with Trace dosing to provide a complete spectrum of essential elements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombine with regular water testing and ICP analysis for best long-term results.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafety \u0026amp; Handling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot for human or animal consumption.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep out of reach of children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrace metal solutions may cause staining or mild irritation; handle with care.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid contact with skin or eyes; gloves and eye protection are recommended.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn case of skin or eye contact, rinse with fresh water for 15 minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf swallowed or if irritation persists, seek immediate medical advice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest Used When\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarting a new dosing regimen to replenish trace element deficiencies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorals show slowed growth, pale tissue, or reduced pigmentation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning an actively stocked reef with growing SPS, LPS, and soft corals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine-tuning colouration and resilience based on ICP test results.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupporting long-term coral health and peak performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Aquaculture Kings","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":45062910640325,"sku":"AK-CC-TEA-500","price":31.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1L","offer_id":45062910673093,"sku":"AK-CC-TEA-1000","price":51.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5L","offer_id":45062910705861,"sku":"AK-CC-TEA-5000","price":251.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/9021\/2805\/files\/image221.png?v=1763910950","url":"https:\/\/aquaculturekings.com.au\/products\/trace-metals-a","provider":"Aquaculture Kings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
