Aquaforest Reef Mineral Salt

Aquaforest Reef Mineral Salt

Aquaforest Reef Mineral Salt is a concentrated, balanced blend of essential minerals for reef aquariums, made specifically for hobbyists running the Balling Method. It is a supplement for reef keepers who want to keep their mineral levels steady alongside their calcium, KH and magnesium dosing, not a typical reef salt.

Key Benefits

• Concentrated, balanced blend of minerals essential for a healthy reef aquarium
• Designed specifically for the Balling Method rather than as an everyday reef salt
• Helps maintain ionic balance and ion stability when dosed with Calcium, KH Buffer and Magnesium
• Helps you avoid the long-term mineral deficiencies that come from a lack of supplementation, which can mean excessive slowdown of growth and pale coloration in corals

How to Use

• Make a solution by adding 25 g of Reef Mineral Salt to 1000 mL of RODI water.
• Mix vigorously, then let the solution sit for 24 hours before use.
• Dose it together with your Calcium, KH Buffer and Magnesium so the ionic balance is maintained. It is intended to be used with Calcium Dry, KH Buffer Dry and Magnesium Dry.

Dosage

• Use Reef Mineral Salt at a 1:1 ratio with your aquarium's calcium intake.
• The amount to dose equals the amount of Aquaforest Calcium Dry required to maintain your levels.
• Example: if you need to dose 25 ml of Calcium Dry Solution per day, dose 25 ml of Reef Mineral Salt solution daily as well.

Suitable For

• SPS corals
• LPS corals
• Soft corals
• Clams

Compatibility

Reef Mineral Salt works as part of a Balling-style routine. Use it in conjunction with Calcium Dry, KH Buffer Dry and Magnesium Dry to help maintain ion stability in the reef tank.

Is Reef Mineral Salt the same as a normal reef salt mix?
No. It is designed specifically for the Balling Method as a concentrated, balanced mineral blend, not as a typical reef salt.

How do I prepare the solution?
Add 25 g of Reef Mineral Salt to 1000 mL of RODI water, mix vigorously and let it sit for 24 hours before use.

How much should I dose?
Dose at a 1:1 ratio with your calcium intake. If you dose 25 ml of Calcium Dry Solution per day, dose 25 ml of Reef Mineral Salt solution daily too.

Can it replace my Calcium, KH Buffer or Magnesium?
No. To maintain ionic balance it should be dosed alongside Calcium, KH Buffer and Magnesium, ideally Calcium Dry, KH Buffer Dry and Magnesium Dry.

It can be used with SPS corals, LPS corals, soft corals and clams.

Why does mineral supplementation matter in a reef tank?
A lack of mineral supplementation can lead to long-term deficiencies, which may show up as excessive slowdown of growth and pale coloration in corals.
