AquaForest Reef Salt

Aquaforest Reef Salt is designed for a broad range of reef aquariums, including demanding SPS systems, LPS displays and mixed reefs. Its balanced mineral composition supports stable marine-water conditions, coral growth and natural coloration.

The formula contains amino acids and vitamin C in addition to the micro- and macro-elements required in reef aquarium water. Each production batch is analysed using two ICP-OES spectrometers—one for macro-elements and another for trace elements—and batch results are available online.

Directions

1. Use clean RO/DI or demineralised water.
2. Bring the water to approximately 24 °C.
3. Start the mixing pump.
4. Add the salt gradually to the water.
5. Use approximately 390 g per 10 litres for a target salinity of 33 ppt.
6. Mix vigorously for approximately 15 minutes.
7. Wait until the salt has dissolved and the water is clear.
8. Measure salinity with a calibrated refractometer.
9. Adjust with a small amount of salt or purified water when necessary.
10. Match the new water temperature to the aquarium.
11. Check alkalinity, calcium and magnesium before a large water change.
12. Never add dry salt directly to an operating aquarium.
