The Ideal Foundation
Tropic Marin Classic Sea Salt Mix is perfect for aquariums that
house even the most sensitive species. The natural balance of
elements is made using pharmaceutical salts and free from
artificial additives, nitrates, and phosphates, allowing
the salt to mix fast and crystal clear. If you are starting a
new tank or using Tropic Marin Classic Salt for general water
changes, the appropriate balance of bicarbonates will help
re-equilibrate the pH of your tank while providing a balanced
ratio of all other major and minor trace elements.

Instructions:
We suggest starting with 1/2 Cups of Tropic Marin Sea Salt
Classic per 1 Gallon of RODI water. For the best results, the
water should be circulating and at a temperature of 73-77
°F. Once the water is up to temperature and circulating, slowly
adding the appropriate amount of salt will allow it to fully
dissolve quickly without creating any concentrated areas where
precipitation may occur.
When you have added almost all of the salt and the mixture is
fully dissolved and clear, start measuring the specific gravity
with a refractometer 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.
Note: Always add the salt to the water,
never the water to the salt.
