Reef Octopus Salt 20kg

Reef Octopus salt 20kg bucket is good for making 500-600 liters of salt water

Reef Octopus Marine Salt is a fantastic new sea salt product. It is made using solar evaporative salt as our primary raw material. This process helps retain both the main and trace elements, ensuring that the composition closely resembles natural seawater. Each batch of our raw materials undergoes rigorous laboratory testing, followed by targeted enhancements and adjustments to guarantee their physical and chemical stability once dissolved.

After production, our products are sampled and subjected to laboratory testing to assess their specific uses before they are qualified for sale. To make things easier for you, the production process fully dehydrates the product, resulting in a uniform and perfectly clean salt. It dissolves quickly and stably, with minimal precipitation, helping to save you time when changing the water in your tanks.

RO Water

We recommend using Reef Octopus Marine Salt with Reverse Osmosis (RO) water or soft water that has a calcium level lower than 30 mg/l. Since the calcium level in Reef Octopus Salt is already enhanced to 420 mg/l, mixing it with hard tap water, which contains additional calcium, may lead to elevated concentrations that could cause precipitation. RO water effectively removes undesirable ions like phosphate and nitrate from your tap water, which can otherwise contribute to unwanted algae growth in your aquarium.

Mixing Instructions

To mix your salt:

• Using a clean container, add 1 Kg of Reef Octopus Salt to 27.5 liters of water (equivalent to 1 lb to 2.9 U.S. gallons).
• Mix well until all the salt is dissolved and the solution is clear.

To ensure that every drop of saltwater is consistent, we recommend aerating and churning the mixture for over 2 hours and bringing it to the appropriate temperature before use. It is important to check the specific gravity (S.G.) before adding the solution to your aquarium. If needed, add more salt or water to achieve the correct S.G. reading, keeping in mind that S.G. can change with temperature.

For accurate and consistent measurement of your salt solution’s S.G., we suggest using a portable refractometer.

Additionally, our 6.7 Kg box is suitable for making 165-200 liters (14.55 lbs for 43-52 U.S. gallons) of saltwater.
