Aquaforest Sea Salt Mix

Aquaforest Sea Salt Mix

Aquaforest Sea Salt Mix is a synthetic marine salt mix for saltwater aquariums housing fish, hardy corals and invertebrates. It suits reef keepers and fish-only hobbyists who want a consistent, tested salt for water changes and for mixing up new saltwater.

Key Benefits

• Made for marine aquariums with fish and less delicate corals and invertebrates, so it suits mixed fish and hardy-coral set-ups.
• Prepared from carefully selected raw components, blended in set quantities and tested so the composition stays consistent.
• ICP-OES tested by professionals to confirm a consistent chemical composition.
• Manufactured in the EU to high-quality standards.
• Published reference values for alkalinity, calcium, magnesium and potassium at 30, 33 and 35 ppt, so you can check your mixed water against clear targets.

How to Use

• Start with RODI water at about 75°F.
• Add the salt to the water and stir vigorously for about 15 minutes.
• Once the salt has fully dissolved and the solution is clear, the saltwater is ready to use.
• Store freshly mixed saltwater in a sealed container and use it within 5 days.

Dosage

For a salinity of 33 ppt (1.025 S.G.), dissolve about 390 g (13.75 oz.) of salt in 10 l (2.7 US gal) of water.

Suitable For
