Aquaforest Reef Salt+ Mix

Aquaforest Reef Salt+ Mix

Aquaforest Reef Salt+ Mix is a macronutrient-rich marine salt for making ionically balanced saltwater for fully stocked LPS and SPS coral reef tanks. It suits reef keepers with high nutrient demands, large coral colonies and fast-growing corals who want a salt that supports coral growth, coloration and health.

Key Benefits

• Ionically balanced salt mix made for fully stocked LPS and SPS coral reef aquariums
• Increased levels of key macronutrients: alkalinity, calcium and magnesium
• Aids coral growth, coloration and health
• Designed to keep up with nutrient-demanding, rapidly growing coral colonies
• Suited to systems with high nutrient demands and large coral colonies
• For reefers who don't dose microelements individually, regular water changes with Reef Salt+ return these elements to the water in a balanced ratio for corals to absorb, supporting growth, coloration and immunity

Why a Macronutrient-Rich Salt?

A natural reef has abundant micro and macronutrients. An aquarium is a closed ecosystem where corals constantly consume valuable micro and macro trace elements, each at its own rate. Continuous access to macronutrients is one of the most important parts of keeping a healthy, stable reef tank. Reef Salt+ is formulated with this in mind, so each water change helps replenish what your corals have used.

How to Use

• Dissolve the salt in RODI water.
• Mix for approximately 15 minutes.
• Once the salt is completely dissolved, the saltwater is ready for immediate use.
• For best results, dissolve Reef Salt+ in RODI water at 24-25°C (75-77°F) to a salinity of 33 ppt (1.025 S.G.).
• Use the dissolved salt within 3 days.
• Evaporation changes the parameters of the water, so keep the prepared saltwater tightly closed.
• If you store the mixed saltwater for several days, check its salinity before use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much Reef Salt+ do I add per 10 litres of water?
Dissolve 390 grams of salt into 10 litres (2.19 US gal) of RODI water, then mix for approximately 15 minutes.

Can I mix it with tap water?
The manufacturer's instructions call for RODI water, so use RODI water to get the stated parameters.

How long does mixed saltwater last?
Use the dissolved salt within 3 days. Keep the container tightly closed, because evaporation changes the water's parameters. If you store it for several days, check the salinity before use.

What temperature and salinity should I mix at?
For best results, dissolve it in RODI water at 24-25°C (75-77°F) to a salinity of 33 ppt (1.025 S.G.).

What kind of reef tank is this salt designed for?
It is made for fully stocked LPS and SPS coral reef tanks, particularly systems with high nutrient demands and large, fast-growing coral colonies.

What are the calcium, magnesium and alkalinity levels?
The listed composition is calcium 459 mg/l, magnesium 1427 mg/l and alkalinity 11.8 dKH, at a salinity of 35 ppt.
