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