Pharmaceutical Grade Salt for the Modern
Aquaria!
Designed to meet the strict requirements of reef aquariums,
Tropic Marin Pro Reef Salt mix contains optimized levels of
calcium and magnesium while keeping the correct pH value and a
balance of all 70 trace elements required by corals to grow and
thrive. Pro-Reef is the ideal start to any new tank from fish
only to a full-blown reef tank, not to mention when used as the
salt for your water changes, it will help re-equilibrate the pH
of the tank, allowing the proper balance of carbonates to
bicarbonates leading to faster overall coral growth.

Instructions:
We suggest starting with 1/2 Cups of Tropic Marin Pro Reef Salt
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.
