Premium grade, moderate Alkalinity
Red Sea Salt contains moderately elevated and balanced levels of the foundation elements (Calcium, Magnesium, Bicarbonates) necessary for sustainable coral growth.
When combined with Red Sea’s reef care program, it will maximize pigment saturation to bring out your coral’s most vivid colours, while encouraging growth up to twice the natural rate. Red Sea Salt’s Alkalinity of 8dKH makes it ideal for all reef aquarium types, and especially SPS dominated tanks.
Natural seawater includes over 70 chemical elements, although only a few play a significant role in its overall chemical stability. These elements form the foundation of the reef environment and include three major elements which are Calcium, Magnesium, and Bicarbonates.
These three ‘foundation elements’ have a major effect on Alkalinity, pH stability, seawater ionic strength, and many of the coral’s biological processes (skeleton formation, ion-exchange, photosynthesis).
Early research carried out in Red Sea’s laboratory has shown that when increasing the levels of the foundation elements above the natural sea levels, a very specific ratio between the foundation elements is necessary for coral vitality and the formation of a robust coral skeleton.
Red Sea Salt is made according to these ideal ratios, removing the need to adjust the levels of foundation elements after water changes and providing your corals with a healthy and stable home.
