salinity is a blend of salts specifically formulated
for the reef aquarium that contains all essential major, minor, and
trace components found in natural reef waters, but contains no toxic or
non-essential components. Additionally, salinity is the most
concentrated salt blend on the market. With a hydration level of
<0.5% salinity will yield a greater volume of prepared saltwater at a
salinity of 35ppt per unit of weight than any other salt mix currently on
the market.
salinity is identical to the distribution of anions and
cations found in Natural Sea Water (NSW).
We have compiled data from all the oceans and seas on the
Earth, and have targeted the midpoint of the range for each element. We
guarantee to be within 5% of the midpoint.
At a salinity of 35ppt, for calcium, magnesium, strontium,
pH, and alkalinity we have the following targets and/or ranges (see below).
- Calcium
- Target 422 mg/L, range 400 - 443 mg/L
- Magnesium
- Target 1336 mg/L, range 1269 - 1403 mg/L
- Strontium
- Target 8.4 mg/L, range 8.0 - 8.8 mg/L
- pH
- Range 8.4 - 8.6
- Alkalinity
- Range 3.2 - 3.8 meq/L
