Ideal for the Balling method and Balling-Light method, Triton dosing, and ULNS nutrient systems
With the H2Ocean aquarium salt, you get a natural sea salt for reef aquariums that has been delivering fantastic results for coral enthusiasts worldwide for many years.
With the new H2Ocean Dosing Formula Salt, there is now another version of this high-quality reef salt available. Both formulations are produced through a solar evaporation process, yielding a completely natural base salt where all major and trace elements are in complete balance, as nature intended.
The pure natural salt is then specially enriched for aquarium use by enriching certain elements that are depleted over time, such as calcium and magnesium, which are used by corals and coral algae for growth.
H2Ocean Dosing Formula
The new H2Ocean Dosing Formula Salt has been specifically developed for use in reef aquariums where the primary method of maintaining proper concentrations in the aquarium involves chemical dosing or the use of a calcium reactor.
Using this special formulation allows for an interim water change in your aquarium without observing temporary increases in dKH or calcium, making it ideal for Balling, Balling-Light, or Triton dosing, and also suitable for ULNS nutrient-poor systems.
Natural Salt
Its natural origin ensures that the salt contains all 70 major and trace elements naturally in the correct ratio, creating a homogeneous mixture.
Balanced Formula
In nature, there is a natural balance between calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels. Many salts either have unnaturally high calcium content or high alkalinity, requiring additional buffer or calcium to be added to restore the natural balance.
With H2Ocean reef salt, calcium and alkalinity are balanced to maintain ion equilibrium with natural values, crucial for healthy coral growth.
The H2Ocean salt formula has been continuously developed by D-D over many years. The salt is designed to dissolve quickly and easily and has a specific chemistry that, in our opinion, is the optimal formulation to maintain a healthy reef and allow regular water changes while maintaining a natural balance.
The calcium and magnesium content is intended to replace those consumed by coral growth in the aquarium, while the chloride content is slightly reduced to allow for subsequent additions of calcium and magnesium chloride with minimal impact on chloride levels.
Low Moisture Content
Both formulations of H2Ocean reef salt have an extremely low moisture content compared to many other salts. This is achieved through production under strictly controlled conditions to prevent water absorption from the atmosphere into the salt, making it now 3% stronger, so you get more salt and less water in your pack.
Magnesium Pro Plus Formula
Many salts focus on increasing calcium levels and ignore magnesium levels. Maintaining the correct magnesium concentration is equally important in a reef aquarium and will make it much easier to maintain calcium, pH, and alkalinity stability.
Application
The amount of saltwater that can be produced from a single bucket of salt depends on the final salt content with which the salt solution is mixed. Details can be found on the bucket's page.
For a reef aquarium, we recommend mixing to a salinity of 35.0 ppt and recommend using the D-D Portable SEAWATER Refractometer for accurate and consistent measurement of the salinity of your salt solution.
The salt should be added to the aquarium in a clear state and after 30 minutes of mixing. Extended mixing times may cause the solution to react with CO2 in the atmosphere and lead to slight precipitation of calcium carbonate.
Use of Reverse Osmosis Water
H2Ocean Pro Salt is recommended for use with reverse osmosis water or soft water with a calcium content below 30 mg/l.
RO water removes unwanted ions such as phosphate and nitrate from your tap water, which would otherwise contribute to nuisance algae in your aquarium. D-D produces a range of RO units suitable for any tank size.
