It delivers iron and manganese in ionic, complexed, and chelated forms, so the metals stay bioavailable to your corals over the full dosing cycle instead of crashing out of solution. If your green montis, hammers, or torches look washed out, this is the trace-metal boost that brings the pigment back.

In most closed reef systems these metals get consumed faster than water changes replace them, and free iron oxidizes out of solution quickly. Bio-Metals supplies iron and manganese in three forms at once: ionic for immediate uptake, plus complexed and chelated for a slow, steady release. That gives coral tissue a consistent supply to drive vivid green coloration instead of a spike-and-crash cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"aq-features\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"aq-feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTargets Green and Yellow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormulated to intensify the green and yellow pigments in LPS, SPS, and soft corals.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"aq-feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTriple-Form Metals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIonic, complexed, and chelated metals for immediate plus sustained availability.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"aq-feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIron and Manganese\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe two trace metals most closely tied to green and yellow coral coloration.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"aq-feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosing-Pump Ready\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStable liquid that runs cleanly through any auto-doser for hands-off daily dosing.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"aq-feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStocking-Based Dosing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClear daily rates for lightly, moderately, and heavily stocked reefs.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"aq-feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart of a System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned to run with Quantum Bio-Enhance, Bio-Gen, and Bio-Kalium.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003ch2\u003eDosing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eAdd Bio-Metals into an area of high water flow.
