AF Reef Salt

Synthetic sea salt manufactured for coral cultivation. The salt is formulated in this way to create the best conditions for marine fauna. It contains micro and macro elements that fully meet the needs of corals for good growth and color. The addition of probiotic bacteria also has a positive effect on the reduction of nitrates and phosphates and slows down the development of pathogenic microorganisms in a marine aquarium. The salt does not contain bromides and can be used for filtration systems with ozone. When setting up new aquariums, we recommend that you do not release the first animals earlier than 10-14 days after filling the reservoir. Instructions for use: dissolve the salt in the prepared demineralized water. The water temperature should be approximately 24 ° C (75 ° F). For a salinity of 34PSU (1.025 S.G.), dissolve approximately 3.95 kg (8.71 lbs) in 100 liters (22 US gal.) Of water. The solution must be mixed vigorously for about 15 minutes, after complete dissolution and obtaining full clarity, the salted water is ready to use. Store the salt in a dry and dark place. The dissolved saline solution must be used within 5 days.

The parameters of the water after dissolving the salt:

S.G. 1.025 Cl - 19000 - 19 500 mg / l Na - 10500 - 10600 mg / l Mg - 1320 - 1350 mg / l S - 580 - 590 mg / l Ca - 410-430 mg / l K - 380 - 390 mg / l Br - 0.2 - 0.5 mg / l F - 1.2-1.3 mg / l Fe - 0.08-0.09 mg / l Sr - 7-9 mg / l dKH - 7.4-8.0 pH - 7.8-8.2
