Tropic Marin is one of the most well respected and used sea salt mixes in Europe and is used by many of the zoos, public aquariums, research facilities and universities around the world. It has been around for 50 years. This salt mix was the first in the Tropic Marin line and has: alkalinity 9-10dKH, Calcium: 370-450 ppm and Magnesium: 1250-1300 ppm. Made with all pharmaceutical grade raw materials, it has zero nitrates, phosphates and silicates. It always dissolves cleanly and crystal clear with no residue and is produced in our lab under the strictest batch controls.

Instruction

  • Use Instructions: To achieve a salinity level of 32-35 ‰ (psu), dissolve 35 ml of Tropic Marin® Sea Salt CLASSIC per liter or approximately ½ cup of Tropic Marin® Sea Salt CLASSIC per US gallon water. Dissolve almost all of the salt in a clean container already filled with the full volume of RO/DI water at a temperature of 73-77 °F / 23-25 °C while circulating/stirring the water. Do not concentrate the mixture by adding the full amount of salt to a smaller amount of water.Note: Always add the salt to the water, never the water to the salt. Making a concentrated mixture will cause a calcium carbonate precipitate to form.When you have added ALMOST all of the salt and the mixture is fully dissolved and clear, start measuring the specific gravity with a hydrometer or similar instrument. Keep adding small amounts of salt until the specific gravity is the value you desire. The specific gravity of the sea salt solution should range from 1.025 to 1.027 (at 73-77 °F / 23-25 °C) and the pH -value should be in the range of 8.0 – 8.4. If all parameters ​​are correct, the salt water is ready to use.After setting up a new aquarium it takes a few weeks of water being circulated and correct lighting conditions to achieve the biologically stable environment required for the care and breeding of delicate marine organisms.A weekly, partial water change, replacing 10 % of the total water volume with Tropic Marin® Sea Salt CLASSIC , will help to maintain the water quality that your livestock needs for good health.
