Reef Salt

Q: Why is your Reef Salt™better for my reef? What about borate content?

A: Our Reef Salt™is better for the following reasons: (a) provides a stable level of calcium and alkalinity, (b) stable long term pH, (c) more magnesium (d) less ammonia content, (e) no silicate based drying agents used [i.e. no more brown diatom algae often seen with other salt mixes], (f) the black container protects trace elements from decomposition due to light or moisture (a problem with white punctured bags), (g) use of more soluble calcium and magnesium carbonates/borates, (h) no phosphate, no nitrates present (i) the higher borate content allows for both better pH control and higher stable calcium levels.
