Overview
* | Pure, pharmaceutical grade aquarium saltwater mix containing all trace elements found in natural seawater |
* | Provides the ideal foundation for the care and growth of all marine organisms in saltwater aquariums |
* | Free of nitrate, phosphate, and artificial additives that can compromise aquarium water quality |
Each grain of Tropic Marin Sea Salt contains the exact mix of 70 trace elements found in natural saltwater. Unique production process ensures these elements are maintained in solution to provide the natural biosphere necessary to grow and breed delicate marine fish, plants, and invertebrates.
Marine life can only flourish in a healthy environment. For over 30 years, Tropic Marin Sea Salt has been the only sea salt in the world produced under scientific supervision.
Directions for Use:
Use saltwater prepared with Tropic Marin Sea Salt for regular water changes in your saltwater aquarium, to start a new aquarium and to re-equilibrate the pH of a tank. Add the required amount of Tropic Marin Sea Salt to water in a clean container while circulating and aerating. The resulting saltwater is ready for use as soon as the salt is completely dissolved. At a temperature of 73-77°F (23-25°C), the specific gravity of the saltwater should range from 1.022 to 1.025.
A weekly, partial water change, replacing 10% of the total water volume with saltwater prepared with Tropic Marin Sea Salt, will help to maintain the water quality that your livestock needs for good health.
