About the Reef Colour Programme:

Red Sea’s research into the metabolic demand of SPS, LPS & soft corals has identified 27 minor and trace elements that in addition to the foundation elements are present in the skeleton and soft tissue of all corals. These elements are known as important bio-catalysts in thousands of metabolic processes in marine organisms and therefore must be readily available in all reef aquariums. Many of them however become toxic in concentrations above the levels found in natural sea water and therefore their correct dosage is crucial to the long term success of any reef aquarium.

Our research has identified 4 distinct groups of elements with similar biological functions as well as a direct connection to specific coral pigments that enabled the division of the 27 elements into the 4 supplements Reef Colors A, B, C & D. Coral Colors supplements have been formulated such that the ratio of the elements in each supplement are the same as are found in the combined coral skeleton and soft tissue.

All of the Coral Colors should be supplemented regularly to all LPS and SPS aquariums without connection to the colors of the specific corals or whether the water parameters (levels of foundation elements and algae nutrients) are set for enhanced coloration or accelerated growth.

This range of Red Sea test kits have been specifically created to measure your water quality, allowing you to accurately monitor the parameters associated with the Red Sea Colour programme. To view the additives associated with this programme, click here.
