MARINE TRACE 250ML

Marine Trace ™ 250ml SEACHEM

- Provides a wide range of trace elements
- Contains only elements that have been shown to be required by marine fish

Overview

Replenishing a number of trace elements is necessary to maintain an ideal environment for the growth and reproduction of marine life. Although the importance of trace elements has been recognized by aquarists for many years, the physiological reasons are not fully understood. The chemical elements of seawater are varied and, similarly, their addition to the aquarium in tiny amounts has varied effects on a variety of saltwater plant and invertebrate species. In general, however, these elements are important for metabolic processes and pigment formation. The addition of iron, for example, has been shown to be beneficial for the coloration and growth of corals, anemones, and other photosynthetic animals.

Marine Trace ™ provides a wide range of trace elements that have been shown to be necessary for the health and growth of fish. Unlike terrestrial animals, fish obtain nutrients both from their food and their environment. Trace elements are normally depleted by use, oxidation, and precipitation, so it is important to restore them regularly. Marine Trace ™ contains only the elements that fish have actually shown a need for.
