Instant Ocean Marine Salt

- /per
Instant Ocean salt is a premium, complete formula designed to replicate natural seawater by including every essential major, minor, and trace element needed for healthy marine organism growth and development. This carefully engineered blend ensures that your marine aquarium provides an optimal environment for fish, corals, and other invertebrates, closely matching the composition of natural seawater.
The improved Instant Ocean formula dissolves faster than ever, making preparation quick and easy. To create saltwater, simply mix Instant Ocean with ordinary dechlorinated tap or purified water. For smaller batches, use 1/2 cup of Instant Ocean per U.S. gallon of water, stirring vigorously to ensure thorough mixing. Although the solution can be used immediately, aerating the water until oxygen and carbon dioxide levels reach equilibrium is recommended for the best results.
Maintaining the correct specific gravity is crucial for the health of your marine life. The recommended specific gravity range is 1.020 to 1.024 at 77°F. Adjust salt levels accordingly by adding more Instant Ocean if the specific gravity is too low or more dechlorinated water if it is too high. For optimal water quality, change 20% of the aquarium water every two weeks.
Important Usage Notes:
- Never mix salt directly in an aquarium containing animals.
- For new aquariums, transfer animals only after the salt has fully dissolved, the water is aerated, and the specific gravity is properly adjusted.
Whether you are setting up a reef tank or maintaining a saltwater aquarium, Instant Ocean provides the essential nutrients and balanced chemistry needed to support vibrant marine ecosystems. Trust in a formula designed by experts to foster healthy aquatic life and maintain stable, natural seawater conditions in your aquarium.

Nice searchable website, plenty of stock, reasonably priced next day delivery, well packaged. Slightly more detail would have been nice as I bought 32mm thinking that was the external diameter but I suspect most people buying these items would know that. :)

Such a great service. Bought a fish tank Ciano emotions 150 Pro and it's arrived very well packed just 2 days after purchase. After 2 weeks i had an issue with light power supply which has been replaced straight away after I reported that to customer service. They look afyer customers and always replied very quickly if you have any problem. Strongly recommended!!!
