Reef Crystals enriched blend sea salt contains extra levels of calcium, vitamins, and selected trace elements. Developed for use in sophisticated reef aquariums, it was the first enriched sea water formulation available to aquarium hobbyists. The inclusion of important components at concentrations greater than in natural seawater assures extended availability of substances that are assimilated and depleted especially quickly in thriving reef aquariums. A special additive helps to detoxify excess heavy metals, such as copper, that are often found at elevated levels in domestic water supplies. Reef Crystals salt provides superior dissolvability and is compatible with all marine aquariums. They use only the most sophisticated biological and chemical test methods to develop and refine their formulas, and Reef Crystals sea salt is no exception. Every batch is carefully analyzed to guarantee composition, consistency, and uniformity.
Instant Ocean salt is engineered to closely match natural seawater, and Reef Crystals is enriched to facilitate the growth of corals and other invertebrates in a reef aquarium.
1. Mix Reef Crystals® with ordinary dechlorinated tap or purified water. NOTE: To prepare small quantities, use 1/2 cup of Reef Crystals per U.S. gallon of water. Mix as directed.
2. Stir vigorously to ensure a good mix. Although the Reef Crystals solution may be used immediately, we suggest aerating the water until it achieves oxygen/carbon dioxide equilibrium.
3. Measure specific gravity/salinity
Recommended Specific Gravity Range: 1.020-1.024 at 77°F.
NOTE: 2kg of Reef Crystals is formulated to create 60 litres of saltwater at a specific gravity of 1.022.
4. Adjust salt level accordingly. If specific gravity is too low, add more Reef Crystals Ocean. lf too high, add more dechlorinated water.
5. Change 20% of aquarium water every two weeks 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.
