Tropic Marin Pro Reef Salt
1 kilo packed loose in sealed plastic pouch
Features:
The pharmaceutical grade sea salt especially for modern reef aquaria.
Tropic Marin® PRO-REEF Sea Salt has been designed to meet the special requirements of reef aquariums with optimized concentrations of calcium and magnesium, which promote the growth of corals. The lower buffering and the correct pH value serve to stabilize the natural water values, and particularly, the hardness of carbonates, even with the use of calcium reactors. Natural and stable conditions for delicate marine life are achieved only by accurately balancing all influencing factors.
The specific gravity of the sea salt solution should amount to 1.025 to 1.027 at a temperature of 25 °C / 77 °F. The quantity of salt actually required may deviate from the calculation stated here, depending on the water content of the salt.
Please note: The details of the required volume of sea salt are provided in ml instead of in g, as the weight is subjected to stronger fluctuations through water absorption in the water-absorbing salts than the volume.
To achieve a salinity level of 32-35 ‰ (psu), dissolve 35 ml of Tropic Marin® PRO-REEF per liter or approximately ½ cup of Tropic Marin® PRO-REEF per US gallon water. Dissolve almost all of the salt in a clean container already filled with the full volume of RO/DI water at a temperature of 73-77°F / 23-25°C while circulating/stirring the water. Do not concentrate the mixture by adding the full amount of salt to a smaller amount of water.
