 Seachem’s
Reef Salt™ is a chemically sound blend
of salts designed to replicate natural reef
waters. It is specifically formulated for the
reef environment and will provide ideal seawater
concentrations of magnesium, calcium, and strontium
with proper alkalinity and pH for closed reef
aquarium systems. It contains all essential
major, minor, and trace components found in
natural reef waters, but contains no toxic
or non-essential components such as nitrate,
phosphate, silicate, arsenic, cadmium, or beryllium.
Reef Salt™ dissolves quickly and
completely and is ready to use in only a few minutes.
Reef Salt™ will support and promote enhanced
calcium and alkalinity stability for those wishing
to maintain calcium above Natural Sea Water (NSW)
levels (400 mg/L) as well as providing NSW levels
of bromide (65 mg/L). Aquarium Use Only! Keep Away
from Children!

DIRECTIONS:1.
Mix Reef Salt™ with dechlorinated tap
or purified water. We recommend the use of
a commercial dechlorinator like Prime™
to neutralize any tap water chlorine and/or chloramines.
If source water quality is extremely poor we
recommend purification with a Seachem
Pinnacle™ RO/DI system.
NOTE: To prepare small quantities,
use 34 g of Reef Salt™ per each liter (1/2
cup per each US gallon) of water.
2. Stir well to ensure a good mix. Although the
Reef Salt™ solution may be used immediately,
we suggest aerating the water until it achieves
oxygen/carbon dioxide equilibrium.
3. Measure specific gravity. For reef aquarium
1.020 – 1.025 at 24 C (75 F) is recommended
NOTE: 675 g of Reef Salt™
is formulated to create 20 liters (1.4 lbs per
5 US gallons) of saltwater at a specific gravity
of 1.021.
4. Adjust salt level accordingly. If specific
gravity is too low, add more Reef Salt™.
If too high, add more dechlorinated or purified
water.
5. Change 20% of aquarium water every two weeks
(or as necessary) to maintain optimum water quality.
USAGE NOTE: NEVER
mix salt in an aquarium containing animals.
In New Aquariums: Transfer animals to the aquarium
AFTER salt is completely mixed and aerated and
specific gravity has been adjusted. Use Seachem’s
Stability™
to avoid “new tank syndrome” and
prevent unnecessary animal losses in a new system.
CAUTION: REEF SALT™
IS NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. KEEP OUT OF REACH
OF CHILDREN. Contact in dry form may cause skin
or eye irritation. In case of eye contact, completely
flush eye(s) with cool water and seek medical
attention. See the bottom of this page for MSDS
information.
NOTE: Depending
on specific gravity, alkalinity should be about
4.0–5.0
meq/L, calcium should be between 380–430
mg/L, magnesium should be between 1200–1350
mg/L, and strontium should be 8–12 mg/L.
Between water changes some elements may become
depleted through utilization. Seachem offers
a
full line of reef supplements
for restoring and maintaining many parameters,
including (but not limited to) calcium, magnesium,
strontium, iodide and alkalinity. |
