These elements have been selected based on their relevance to coral health in scientific literature, as well as the success of large coral aquaculture facilities that have reported using them. EASY TRACE uses only USP- and ACS-grade ingredients, ensuring the highest quality possible. EASY TRACE provides a scientifically backed and convenient way to add rapidly consumed major and trace elements without the risk of overdose and without raising alkalinity, calcium, or magnesium. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEasy Trace\u003c\/strong\u003e provides consistent input of:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManganese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelenium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePotassium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIodine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBromide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSulfur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolybdenum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVanadium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubidium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChromium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAdditionally, Easy Trace delivers all of these trace elements as chelated compounds. Chelation is the process by which an organic compound binds to a trace element. In nature, corals obtain chelated trace elements from the food they eat or from their microbiome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eUnchelated trace elements are prone to reacting chemically as soon as they enter a tank's water column. They can instantly oxidize, precipitate, or become bound by long-chain organics - locking them out of a form any animal in a reef tank can actually use. Many hobbyists dose trace elements and then track their \"consumption\" using ICP testing. But it's often unclear whether that drop in measured levels reflects real biological uptake or simply a reaction with the tank environment, since the elements were added in an unstable form to begin with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChelation sidesteps this \"consumption vs. reaction\" problem by delivering trace elements directly to the animals that need them, far more efficiently than inorganic salts alone.

These organics are easily degraded and act as food for bacteria in the tank, which can lower ORP and oxygen levels, shifting the system into a \"microbialized\" state - an undesirable condition for coral growth.
