• 25 kg Box - Makes up to 175 gallons*

*Mixing @ 33ppt

Aquaforest's Reef Salt is by far one of the best all around salts on the market for coral reef tanks. The parameters closely resemble ideal conditions found around ocean reefs and by following an Aquaforest system you can have a colorful, growing reef tank in no time.  The balance of elements, along with the high-quality components used to manufacture the salt allows it to mix quickly for immediate use.

How to Choose a Salt Mix:

it is very important to take your tanks requirements into account when choosing a salt mix. We suggest selecting a salt that closely resembled the balance of elements that is most similar to the range you wish to keep them at in your aquarium. 

Parameters:

Cl – 19000-19500 mg/l

Na – 10500-10600 mg/l

Mg – 1300-1380 mg/l

S – 840-890 mg/l

Ca – 410-440 mg/l

K – 380-400 mg/l

F – 1.2-1.3 mg/l

Fe – 0.08-0.09 mg/l

Sr – 7-9 mg/l

dKH – 7.4-8.2

pH – 7.8-8.2

Mixing Instructions:

Dissolve salt with RO/DI water in a clean container. To achieve a salinity of 33 ppt, we suggest starting with 1 kg (2.2lbs) of Probiotic reef salt per 7.1 gallons (27 liters) of RO/DI water. Stir the mixture vigorously until it is fully dissolved and clear. Once the solution is transparent check the salinity with a refractometer and then it can be used right away.

Note: We highly recommend heating your freshly made saltwater to match your tanks temperature, allowing for the best results.
