Why do products exist to dose different elements toward enhancing different coral colors - example: Red Sea "Coral Colors ABCD" which links color enhancement to elements:
Pink: iodine/halogens
Red: Potassium
Green/yellow: iron
Other mix: blue/purple
Is this assuming a hobbyist will just add one until desired color is reached, or they are packaged separately so you don't overdose the less needed elements? There seems to be an assumption that regular water changes/broad spectrum trace elements are too general for individual tanks?
I ask because my red monti has been peach-colored for longer than 6 months (too long for a death spiral). The color is nice but someone on the forum suggested ack of iodine because the Reef Fuel and Brightwell trace elements in using in fact don't contain iodine.
