55LB BUCKET

For approximately 200 US Gallons

Key Benefits

Premium-quality sea salt contains 70 major and minor trace elements in the exact proportions found in tropical sea water.
Made with pharmaceutical-grade, 100% biodegradable salts; contains zero synthetic additives, nitrates or phosphates.
Optimizes calcium and magnesium concentrations and helps maintain alkalinity levels in the 7-8 dKH range.
Ideally suited for use in setting up a new saltwater aquarium, performing regular maintenance water changes, and re-equilibrating the pH of your tank.
Provides the ideal environment for the care and growth of fish, corals and other aquatic invertebrates in a reef aquarium.

Additional Details

Always add the salt to the water, never the water to the salt. Making a concentrated mixture will cause a calcium carbonate precipitate to form.

New look, same great formula! This product has recently undergone a packaging change. Customers may receive old packaging during this transition.

Instructions

To achieve a salinity level of 32-35 ‰ (psu), dissolve 35 ml of Tropic Marin® PRO-REEF per liter or approximately ½ cup of Tropic Marin® PRO-REEF per US gallon water. Dissolve almost all of the salt in a clean container already filled with the full volume of RO/DI water at a temperature of 73-77°F / 23-25°C while circulating/stirring the water. Do not concentrate the mixture by adding the full amount of salt to a smaller amount of water.

When you have added ALMOST all of the salt and the mixture is fully dissolved and clear, start measuring the specific gravity with a hydrometer or similar instrument. Keep adding small amounts of salt until the specific gravity is the value you desire. The specific gravity of the sea salt solution should range from 1.025 to 1.027 (at 73-77°F / 23-25°C) and the pH-value should be in the range of 8.0 – 8.4. If all parameters are correct, the salt water is ready to use.

After setting up a new aquarium it takes a few weeks of water being circulated and correct lighting conditions to achieve the biologically stable environment required for the care and breeding of delicate marine organisms.

A weekly, partial water change, replacing 10 % of the total water volume with Tropic Marin® PRO-REEF, will help to maintain the water quality that your livestock needs for good health.

Parameters: approx. 7° KH, calcium approx. 440 ppm, magnesium approx. 1350 ppm

Application: For reef tanks with higher calcium requirements. To maintain the alkalinity in a 7-8° dKH range; particularly suitable when using a calcium reactor.

Great product Review by Brett

Product Rating:

I have used tropic marine for over 10 years it has been always consistent regarding calcium and magnesium. Alkalinity has been a little low for me. I keep my tank at 9dkh. The increase in price over the years is now a little steep especially when you are doing 50 to 80 Gallon water changes every 2 weeks. This salt is great for makeing it simple to replace all elements you need when used on a consistent water change schedule. (Posted on 8/14/2018)

I have used Tropic Marin for 10 years now. All the parameters have been consistent which has helped me successfully grow sps corals. (Posted on 12/12/2016)

Top Notch Salt Review by Steve

Product Rating:

I have used this product for a number of years with great results. I also have a Calcium Reactor. I use the Calcium Reactor to control alkalinity and together with small water changes I rarely need to supplement either Calcium or Magnesium. I have SPS, LPS and softies and all do well.

Recommend to buy. Review by Jonathan

Delivered as expected. Should last awhile on my Nuvo 40. So far I have had no issues after a clean cycle. Would buy again. (Posted on 8/17/2014)
