RED SEA SALT
Provides the parameters of NSW with a slightly elevated KH. Ideal for SPS Dominant, UNLS & Marine Fish tanks
Red Sea Salt is designed to provide
the exact parameters of tropical reef water with a slightly elevated
alkalinity as needed in a closed marine system.
Red Sea salt is ideal for fish and invertebrate systems or for low-nutrient tanks where the hobbyist supplements all of the individual elements on a regular basis.

Red Sea Salt will produce stable seawater with a pH of 8.2 - 8.5.

The Foundation Elements - It's all in the balance
Red Sea Salt formula
Red Sea Salt contains biologically balanced, elevated levels of the foundation elements (Calcium,
Magnesium, Carbonates) necessary for sustainable, accelerated coral
growth. Red Sea Salt is ideal for reef aquariums, in particular for LPS
and SPS corals, and for growing coral frags.
Natural seawater includes over 70 chemical elements and although most
of the elements influence the water parameters, a few of them have a
more significant role in its overall chemical stability.
These elements form the foundation of the reef environment and they include the three major elements: calcium, magnesium and bi-carbonates.
These three foundation elements have a major effect on the water
chemistry (pH stability, alkalinity, seawater ionic strength) and on
many of the coral's biological processes (skeleton formation, ion-
exchange, photosynthesis).
Unlike the natural reef environment, where there is an immense
reservoir of the foundation elements, the reef aquarium has limited
resources that are quickly depleted by the aquarium inhabitants.
Therefore, in order to enable sustainable coral growth it is necessary
to maintain higher than natural levels of the foundation elements.
Original research carried out in Red Sea's laboratory has shown that
in a closed system (an aquarium) a specific ratio between the foundation
elements of calcium, magnesium and carbonates (alkalinity) is necessary
for coral vitality and the formation of a robust aragonite coral
skeleton. This ratio must be maintained especially when increasing the
levels of the foundation elements above the natural sea levels.
Red Sea Salt is made according to these ideal ratios
and remove the need to adjust the levels of foundation elements after
water changes and significantly improving the wellbeing of corals.
