What Aquaforest Component B is for
According to the Aquaforest page, the skimmer and filter media strip trace elements from the water of a closed system, which is why they have to be put back. The Aquaforest Component B formula follows the ratios found in natural seawater. The manufacturer states that these metals promote intense coral coloration. Aquaforest adds that the concentration of Component B keeps the risk of overdosing low, which makes it usable by a beginner.
