AF REEF MINERAL SALT
AF REEF MINERAL SALT is an agent for maintaining constant levels of minerals in reef aquariums.
Using Reef Mineral Salt is one of the most important elements during supplementation of calcium chloride and sodium bicarbonate (i.e. Balling Method).
Lack of Reef Mineral Salt supplementation leads to dangerous minerals deficiency . Long-term shortages of micro and macronutrients result with excessive slowdown of growth and invalid, pale colouration of corals...
Dosage:
- dissolve 25 g in 1000 ml RODI water
In order to maintain ionic balance, it is recommended to apply also: Calcium, KH Buffer and Magnesium, which doses should be established based on water tests and daily corals’ consumption.
Solution of Reef Mineral Salt should be dosed with the same liquid-amounts as solutions of Calcium and KH Buff er . Reef Mineral salt dosing cannot be treated as an equivalent of important water changes, which are still necessary.
IMPORTANT!
Keep away from children. Product for aquarium use only. Not suitable for human consumption. Safety data sheet available on request.
HOW REEF MINERAL SALT WORKS?
Aquaforest Reef Mineral Salt is a Sodium Chloride (NaCl) free sea salt . It contains all the other basic components found in natural seawater, such as Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, Bromine, Fluorine, Barium, Iodine, and trace elements.
NaCl free salt 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.
It is a common misconception among reefers that administering NaCl free salt is primarily supposed to replenish trace elements . The main task of Sodium Chloride free salt is to maintain ionic balance of aquarium water.
This practice is based on an important discovery made by Prof William Dittmar, a chemical analyst, and the “ rule of constant proportions ”. He analysed water samples from oceans and seas around the globe and documented that the composition of natural sea water remains constant, even though the salinity varies.
