Fauna Marin Color Elements Mixing

[castellanamattia]

Hi all

I was wondering whether I could mix the three FM Color Elements (red, green, blue) in a 1:1:1 ratio for dosing (so that it uses only 1 instead of three heads)? Has someone ever tried it or knows whether it is possible?

Thank you, and wishing you all the best for 2026!

I presume not or they would, although three may just be a marketing ploy, just like calling them colors instead of chemicals.

In general, mixing trace elements is not a good idea unless you know exactly what chemical forms are used.

Thanks Randy, I'll try to mix 10 ml of each together in a vial and check for precipitates. Keeping you updated!
