Reef Mineral Salt 5000g Aquaforest

Reef Mineral Salt 5000g - Aquaforest

Description

An agent to maintain constant mineral levels in reef aquariums. Using Reef Mineral Salt is one of the most important elements when supplementing with calcium chloride and sodium bicarbonate (Balling method). Lack of reef mineral salt supplementation leads to dangerous mineral deficiency. Long-term shortages of micro and macronutrients result in excessive slowing of growth and pale, unhealthy coral coloration.

Dosage

Dissolve 25 g in 1000 ml of RODI water. To maintain ionic balance, it is recommended to also apply: Calcium, KH Buffer, and Magnesium, whose doses should be established based on water tests and daily coral consumption.

The Reef Mineral Salt solution should be dosed in the same quantities of liquid as the calcium and KH buffer solutions.

Recommendations

- Dosing reef mineral salt cannot be treated as an equivalent to significant water changes, which are still necessary.

- Keep away from children.

- Product for aquarium use only.

- Not suitable for human consumption.

- Safety data sheet available on request.

FAQ

The Aquaforest Balling process (component 123+) includes reef mineral salt as the third part of dosing. I use a calcium reactor and wonder if I am missing something by not dosing it.

Reef mineral salt should be used with calcium chloride and sodium bicarbonate. If you use a calcium reactor, it is not necessary to use reef mineral salt.

How does reef mineral salt work?

It is a common misconception among reefers that administering salt without NaCl is primarily meant to replenish trace elements. The main task of salt without sodium chloride is to maintain the ionic balance of aquarium water. Salt without NaCl is one of the most important components of the Balling method, and it plays a significant role when calcium chloride and sodium bicarbonate supplementation is in place. The use of salt without NaCl is no longer so common, and the application of the Balling method is often limited to 2 or sometimes 3 of its main components. This approach will likely pose no problem for several weeks, or even months, but in the meantime, the chemical reactions taking place in the marine aquarium will lead to a deficit in trace elements.
