D-D H2 Ocean Sea Salt 6.6Kg

Please Note: This was originally called the Pro Formula but has now been changed to classic. This is exactly the same salt but in a new packaging.

H2Ocean Pro+ is a new pro formula aquarium salt -produced by a solar evaporative process which produces a totally natural base salt where all of the main and trace elements are in complete balance as nature intended.

The pure natural salt is then specially enhanced for aquarium use by elevating specific elements that over time become depleted, such as calcium and magnesium which are used by corals and coralline algae for growth.

Balanced Formula:
In nature there is a natural balance between the calcium, alkalinity and magnesium levels. Many salts are found to be either unnaturally high in calcium or high in alkalinity and therefore with these salts either extra buffer or extra calcium is required to be added to return the natural balance.

With H2Ocean Pro+ the calcium and alkalinity are in the correct ratios keeping the ionic balance in equilibrium with natural levels which is so important for healthy coral growth.

Chemistry:
The formulation for H2Ocean+ salt has been developed by D-D following many months of testing and evaluation. The salt is designed to dissolve quickly and easily and to have a specific chemistry which in our opinion is the optimum formulation to maintain a healthy reef and allow regular water changes whilst maintaining a natural balance.

Calcium and Magnesium levels are boosted to replace that used up through coral growth within the aquarium whereas chloride levels are slightly lowered to allow post additions of calcium and magnesium chloride with a minimized affect on the chloride balance.

RO Water:
H2Ocean Pro+ salt is recommended for use with Reverse Osmosis or soft water with a calcium level below 30 mg/l.

As the calcium in H2Ocean Pro+ is already enhanced to 440 mg/l then mixing with hard water which contains additional calcium may raise the concentration above normal recommended levels and cause the calcium to precipitate out of solution.

RO water removes undesirable ion like phosphate and nitrate from your tap water which otherwise would contribute to nuisance algae in your aquarium.
