Now, for the first time in your reef aquarium, phosphate is dosed in a targeted manner, without continuously increased phosphate concentration of the water column. As a result, coral growth is stimulated and the corals show natural patterns of skeletal development and bright colors, just like in the intact coral reef under natural conditions. Insoluble particulate phosphates are the most effective way to deliver this essential nutrient to the corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTropic Marin Pro Reef Salt:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"background: white;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: #333333;\"\u003eTropic Marin’s Pro Reef Sea Salt is made up of all the trace and macro elements found in sea water, with no artificial additives, nitrates or phosphates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"background: white; margin-top: 0rem; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: #333333;\"\u003eThe Pro Reef Sea Salt enables a stable alkalinity level of 7 – 8dKH.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"background: white; margin-top: 0rem; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: #333333;\"\u003eideal foundation for the care and growth of fish, corals and other aquatic invertebrates in modern reef aquariums.

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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"background: white; margin-top: 0rem; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: #333333;\"\u003eAfter 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"background: white; margin-top: 0rem; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: #333333;\"\u003eA weekly, partial water change, replacing 10 % of the total water volume with Tropic Marin® PRO-REEF, will help to maintain the water quality that your livestock needs for good health.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"background: white; margin-top: 0rem; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: #333333;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"background: white; margin-top: 0rem; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: #333333;\"\u003eOther product recommendations:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"background: white; margin-top: 0rem; margin-bottom: 1rem; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: #333333;\"\u003eThe very accurate, straightforward Tropic Marin® water tests KH\/ALKALINITY-TEST or KH\/ALKALINITY-TEST PROFESSIONAL and the MAGNESIUM\/CALCIUM-COMBITEST are suited for checking the quality of the water and the essential parameters.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; background: white; margin-top: 0rem; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: #333333;\"\u003eFor the daily supply of calcium and carbonate hardness, we recommend the new Tropic Marin®  CARBOCALCIUM or the application of the well-known Balling method with the Tropic Marin® BIO-CALCIUM ORIGINAL BALLING components A \/ B \/ C.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tropical Marine Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57074782765439,"sku":"733261","price":89.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/5420\/6079\/files\/tropic_marin_pro_reef_salt_25kg_bucket___phos-feed.jpg?v=1772680053","url":"https:\/\/finestaquatics.co.uk\/products\/tropic-marin-pro-reef-salt-25kg-bucket-phos-feed","provider":"Finest Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
