Red Sea - Coral Pro Salt - Bucket - 175 gal

Coral Pro salt has been designed with the modern aquarist in mind. It has been formulated especially for use with mineral free water from reverse osmosis filtration systems or very soft tap water. This water typically has little to no buffering capacity or dissolved minerals that are necessary for the health of your aquarium and its inhabitants. The chemically balanced formula in this salt mix helps to quickly establish a stable pH while providing high available levels of calcium and other elements to keep your corals, coralline algae and their invertebrates thriving, even in aquarium salinities lower than those found in the ocean. This salt is free of nitrates and phosphates to cut down on nuisance algae and cyanobacteria growth.

Directions:

Never mix salt in a aquarium containing animals. Always use clean, non-toxic utensils.

1. Use reverse osmosis water.
2. Add the correct dosage of the salt to the water for the desired salinity according to the chart on the bucket.
3. Mix vigorously until all of the salt is dissolved and pH has stabilized to 8.2-8.3.
4. To acheive desired salinity, measure the specific gravity with an accurate hydrometer and add more salt or water to increase or decrease the specific gravity respectively. Due to variation of specific gravity with temperature, make sure water is at 25 deg. Celsius/77 deg. Farenheit before measuring.
