Red Sea Coral Pro Salt

Red Sea Coral Pro Salt

Red Sea Coral Pro Salt is a reef aquarium salt mix formulated for use with reverse osmosis (RO) water, made for advanced hobbyists who want vibrant coral growth and healthy marine life. It is designed for reef keepers in South Africa who mix their saltwater from "mineral free" RO water or soft tap water and want calcium and buffer capacity built into the salt.

Key Benefits

• Contains elevated levels of calcium and buffer capacity, which provide extended availability of these elements, both essential for vibrant coral growth.
• Chemically balanced formula to support the most delicate corals and other marine life.
• Reaches a stable, natural pH shortly after mixing.
• Free of nitrates and phosphates.
• Produced by a small batch process to ensure homogeneity and consistency of the salt mixture.
• Uses the same natural sea minerals as the standard Red Sea Salt, so RO users and reef enthusiasts get a superior mix without the need for immediate supplementation.
• An optimally balanced ratio of the Foundation Elements (calcium, magnesium and carbonates) supports more energy-efficient coral growth, the formation of a robust aragonite coral skeleton and improved coral vitality.
• With the Foundation Elements balanced, you do not need to supplement new water during water changes.

Why Calcium Matters

Corals, calcareous algae and other invertebrates use large amounts of calcium to build their skeletons or shells. Natural seawater at 35 ppt contains approximately 400 ppm calcium. Coral Pro provides elevated calcium at the "lower than natural" salinity preferred in reef aquariums.

How to Use

• Mix with "mineral free" reverse osmosis water or soft tap water, which is what the formula has been designed for.
• Expect a stable, natural pH shortly after mixing.
• Follow the mixing instructions on the pack for the exact amount of salt per litre of water.

Suitable For

• Reef aquariums with corals, calcareous algae and other invertebrates.
• Advanced hobbyists and reef enthusiasts who use RO water.
• Keepers of delicate corals who want a chemically balanced mix.

Does it contain nitrates or phosphates?
No. The formula is free of nitrates and phosphates.

Do I need to add calcium supplements when doing water changes?
No. The balanced Foundation Elements (calcium, magnesium and carbonates) mean you do not need to supplement new water during water changes.

How does its calcium level compare to natural seawater?
Natural seawater at 35 ppt contains approximately 400 ppm calcium. Coral Pro provides elevated calcium at the "lower than natural" salinity preferred in reef aquariums.

How quickly does the pH stabilise after mixing?
The mix reaches a stable, natural pH shortly after mixing.
