Sea Salt 25kg BOX

This 25 kg box of Aquaforest Sea Salt is for aquarists who prepare their own marine water in bulk and need a salt mix with defined starting values. It covers the batch sizes of a reef setup, where the water has to be mixed to a consistent salinity and mineral profile before use.

Why it matters

• The manufacturer gives a dosing rate of about 3.3 kg per 100 liters of water for a salinity of 1.022 SG, so the amount needed for a given volume can be calculated directly.
• The recommended mixing water temperature is about 24°C (75°F), which is the reference point for dissolving the salt.
• After about 15 minutes of vigorous stirring and full clarity, the water is ready to use, so the time before the mix can go into the tank is known in advance.
• The dissolved mix is specified at SG 1.024, Mg 1280 mg/l, Ca 380 mg/l, K 320 mg/l, dKH 9.0 and pH 8.2, giving a documented baseline for checking the water.

What it works with

The product is designed for the preparation of marine water in reef aquariums, where salt is dissolved in demineralized water before it is added to the system. It is intended for larger water volumes, since the dosing is given per 100 liters. Its use is limited to the water preparation step and is combined with demineralized water, as described in the mixing instructions.
