ORIGIN PLUS™ Trace Upgrade
Batch-tested chemistry · Formulated in Colorado · Cancel subscriptions anytime
Foundation chemistry gets your reef stable. Trace elements keep it thriving.
ORIGIN PLUS™ Trace Upgrade is optional precision trace support for ORIGIN users who want to go further — expanding beyond alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium into the micronutrient layer that drives coral color, polyp extension, and long-term health in high-demand systems.
What It Adds
ORIGIN PLUS™ delivers a calibrated blend of trace elements that get depleted in active reef systems but aren't replenished by standard foundation chemistry:
- Iodine — critical for zooxanthellae health and coral tissue integrity
- Iron — supports zooxanthellae pigmentation and coral coloration
- Manganese — enzymatic processes and coral metabolism
- Supporting trace elements in precision ratios
Who It's For
ORIGIN PLUS™ is for reef keepers who already have stable foundation parameters and want to address trace element depletion — common in mature SPS systems, high-nutrient environments, or tanks that run frequent water changes that strip traces along with nutrients.
If your foundation parameters are not yet stable, start with the ORIGIN Complete Foundation Kit™ first. Trace support on an unstable foundation won't produce the results you're looking for.
How to Use
Add ORIGIN PLUS™ to your existing ORIGIN dosing routine. Dose per the included guidelines, scaled to tank volume. This is not a foundation product — do not substitute it for alkalinity, calcium, or ion balance supplementation.
