Mixed Macro Probiotic Salt™

$28.99 – $87.99

Reef Essential® Mixed Macro Probiotic Salt™ is scientifically formulated in a humidity-controlled environment to provide you with one of the purest & most stable salts in the world.

This salt is a hybrid between natural seawater and synthetic salt; combining many of the benefits of natural seawater with the consistency and purity of a synthetic mix.

This salt contains natural macrobiotics, probiotics as well as vitamin precursors which help to improve mineral content, promote beneficial bacteria growth & enhance fish vitality.

The foundation of this salt is sodium chloride which is sourced from the pristine natural seawater located in South Australia. Natural seawater contains over 70 elements and provides the sodium chloride for our Mixed Macro Probiotic along with our FOWLR Macro Probiotic, LPS Macro Probiotic & SPS Macro Probiotic Salts.

After years of scientific research as well as enthusiast feedback, we have tweaked both element & compound concentrations to provide you with a salt that is optimized to help enhance fish health & vitality in Mixed Reef environments.

Step (1) - Choose Your Specific Gravity (S.G)

Using the table up above; choose the specific gravity that you would like to run your Reef aquarium at.

Pay extra careful attention to the Calcium, Alkalinity, Magnesium & Potassium levels that correspond to your chosen specific gravity as you will need to maintain those parameters using our Step 3 – Aragonite Enhancers™ and Step 4 – Bioactive Color Intensifiers™

Step (2) - Determine the amount of salt you need

Using the easy dosing table (above) determine how much salt you need for your water change.

We recommend 10-20% weekly water changes using our salt.

Keep an eye out on the Q for our updated free app.

Example Calculation:
200L aquarium @ 1.025 S.G – 10% water change.
10/100 = 0.1
0.1 x 200L = 20L
34.6g/L x 20L = 692g of salt you need to add to 20L of RODI water

34.6g <= Number came from dosing chart based on what S.G. you want your salinity in your tank.

Step (3) - It is time to mix

Add the salt to ~25˚C or 77°F water RODI water and mix (preferably with an aquarium pump) until it is fully dissolved.

Once fully dissolved; stop mixing.

Check the temperature of the mixed salt, once it has been stabilized to 25˚C or 77°F you can now add it into your aquarium.

Always add salt to water; never vice versa. Never add unmixed salt to an aquarium.

Step (4) - Keep the salt fresh for the next time you use it

Use the elastic band or reusable cable tie to seal the bag inside the bucket then firmly close the lid.

If you are using our top up 20kg box we recommend placing the sealed bag into our 22kg bucket and firmly closing the lid.

FAQ

Select below to learn more about our Salts!

The Parameters in my salt aren't the same as what's stated on the Bucket?

We state that the parameters on the bucket are a guideline to what we try to achieve however these parameters in your salt bucket could be within a 10% tolerance of the stated values. However do make sure that your salt has been mixed very well as over the course of travelling the elements in the salt can move around. One more thing would be to make sure your test kits are correct as this can often throw out a test result. Try and test with 2 forms of testing or 2 different branded kits.

Does your product contain phosphate?

No salt product can exist without some amount of phosphate however the phosphate amount is minimal, giving you a very clean salt mix.

How long does the salt take to mix?

Your salt should take a very small amount of time to mix less than 5 minutes. However. Temperature of the water and how you are mixing it whether it be by hand or by mixing devices like a powerhead etc these times will differ.

Does your salt create brown slime during the mixing process?

Our salt will not create the brown sludge/slime that you see with other brands. Just make sure that you mix according to our directions. With this being a probiotic salt our directions are very important in preventing fall out of the probiotics. Make sure to mix at the correct tempature and store accordingly.
