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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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\/p\u003e\u003cp\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\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther product recommendations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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\/p\u003e\u003cp\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\/p\u003e","brand":"Tropic Marin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57074367463807,"sku":"733087","price":48.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/5420\/6079\/files\/tropic_marin_pro_reef_sea_salt_10kg_bucket.jpg?v=1772673857","url":"https:\/\/finestaquatics.co.uk\/products\/tropic-marin-pro-reef-sea-salt-10kg-bucket","provider":"Finest Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
