Reef Octopus salt 20kg bucket is good for making 500-600 liters of salt water
Reef Octopus Marine Salt is a new sea salt product. It uses the salt through the solar evaporative as our raw material; it keeps the main and trace elements content as much as possible, but also to ensure that the proportion of each component part of the content is close to natural sea water. Each batch of our raw materials was tested in the laboratory, then targeted to strengthen and adjustments were carried out to ensure their physical and chemical stability of there-dissolved.
Products made again after sampling, laboratory testing and assessment of the specific use of qualified sub-installed after the sale.
In order to make it much easier to use, the production was fully dehydrated. The product seems uniform and perfectly clean .It dissolved fast and stable, with little precipitation. It saves time on changing the water of tanks.

RO water
Reef Octopus Marine Salt is recommended for use with Reverse Osmosis water or soft water with a calcium level lower than 30 mg/l. As the calcium level in Reef Octopus Salt is already enhanced to 420 mg/l then mixing with hard tap water which contains additional calcium may raise the concentration above normal recommended levels and cause the calcium to precipitate out of solution.
RO water removes undesirable ions like phosphate and nitrate from your tap water which otherwise would contribute to nuisance algae in your aquarium.
Mixing
Using a clean container:
Add 1 Kg of Reef Octopus Salt to 27.5 liters of water ( 1 Lb to 2.9 U.S.Gallons )
Mix well until all of the salt is dissolved and the solution is clear. To ensure that every drop of salt water is the same,we recommend that you aerating and churning for more than 2 hours and bring to temperature before use.
Check the S.G. before addition to the aquarium. If it is necessary,add more salt or water to obtain the correct S.G.reading. Remember that S.G. changes with temperature.
Reef Octopus Salt recommends the use of a portable refract meter for accurate and consistent measurement of the S.G. of your salt solution.
