Aquaforest Sea Salt provides a fully synthetic marine salt for aquariums with fish and less delicate corals and invertebrates. When setting up new aquariums it is recommended that the first animals are placed no sooner than 10-14 days after filling the aquarium. After dissolving the salt, freshly prepared marine water can be used immediately.

Preparation:
Dissolve the salt in previously prepared demineralised water. Water temperature should be about 24°C. For salinity of 30ppt dissolve about 345g in 10L of water. Stir the solution vigorously for about 15min. When the salt is fully dissolved and the solution clear the saline water is ready to use. Keep the salt in a dry and dark place. Once dissolved, use the salt within 5 days.

Worth knowing:
Aquaforest products are manufactured in the EU under strict laboratory supervision to meet the highest quality standards. Each product is prepared from carefully selected raw components in quantities proven to yield consistent composition.

How Aquaforest Sea Salt is tested?
Aquaforest mix their Marine Salt in 1 metric tonne batches, and 3 separate samples per batch are collected during the production stage for testing. Each of these samples is dissolved in 15 litres of RO water. The experienced team of professionals perform ICP-OES analysis to verify that the chemical composition is within consistent range, and to rule out the presence of unwanted contaminants at the same time.

Note: Even though Aquaforest salt is thoroughly mixed, not every bucket/box will be identical. The parameters can vary slightly between containers and around a 2-3% variation is acceptable. This fluctuation is a result of both physical properties of the mix and the limitations of the processing techniques available. These variations are still smaller than the typical margin for error for popular hobbyist test kits.
