Step 1 — Environmental Parameters / Mineral Oasis Mineral Sea Salt
Reef Essential® · Mineral Sea Salt
Built to be simple — and to work in more than your tank.
Mineral Oasis Mineral Sea Salt is a straightforward, elevated-mineral hybrid sea salt with enhanced buffering capacity — no macrobiotics or probiotics, and the only salt in the line built for both reef aquariums and baths.
| S.G. | Calcium (ppm) | Alkalinity (dKH) | Magnesium (ppm) | Potassium (ppm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.025 | 435 | 8.1 | 1305 | 395 |
How is Mineral Oasis different from the rest of the line?
The other four are all "Macro Probiotic" salts — they carry macrobiotics, probiotics and vitamin precursors on top of the mineral profile, each tuned to a specific coral type's alkalinity demand. Mineral Oasis skips the probiotics and is built as a single, elevated-mineral general-purpose salt instead.
That also means it's the one salt in the range safe and suited for use outside the aquarium — in baths, as well as reef tanks.
dKH
A single general-purpose alkalinity target, close to the Mixed salt's balanced number.
uses
The only salt in the line rated for both reef aquariums and baths.
probiotics
No macrobiotics or probiotics — a straightforward elevated-mineral hybrid instead.
What's actually in the bag
A simpler formula than the Macro Probiotic salts — here's what makes it up.
Authentic hybrid seawater base
Natural seawater blended with a synthetic mix — the ecosystem benefits of real seawater with the batch-to-batch consistency of a synthetic.
Enhanced buffering capacity
Elevated minerals for stable, resilient water chemistry — the core of what makes this a general-purpose salt rather than a specialist one.
Humidity-controlled formulation
Mixed in a humidity-controlled environment for purity and stability, batch after batch — not just mixed and bagged.
Included ICP report
Every bag or bucket ships with a batch-specific ICP report — exact mix-to values plus the full trace element panel, tested in-house before it leaves us.
No macrobiotics or probiotics
A deliberately simpler formula than the Macro Probiotic salts — full spectrum minerals without the added biotics.
Reef aquarium or bath use
Dosing differs by use — follow the pack insert for reef aquarium mixing, or the bath guidance for at-home use.
Need something tuned to a specific coral type?
The other four Quantum salts are each built for a different tank type.
SPS Macro Probiotic Salt
Low, tight alkalinity for fast-growing small-polyp stony corals.
LPSLPS Macro Probiotic Salt
The highest, steadiest alkalinity, for fleshy large-polyp corals.
MixedMixed Macro Probiotic Salt
One balanced target for tanks running SPS and LPS side by side.
FOWLRFOWLR Macro Probiotic Salt
Wide S.G. range for fish-only-with-live-rock, no coral demand to chase.
