Hybrid Pro Salt 5 kg Bucket — Compact Probiotic Reef Salt - Aquaforest

Aquaforest Hybrid Pro Salt 5 kg — the probiotic salt in a compact size

Aquaforest Hybrid Pro Salt is the manufacturer's most advanced sea salt. Its unique formula combines chemically pure laboratory salt — for stable, predictable parameters — with natural sea salt flakes harvested from the North Atlantic, rich in micronutrients. It is further enriched with probiotic bacteria that control nitrate and phosphate levels, plus amino acids and vitamin C. Strontium and iodine levels are elevated to offset their fast consumption in closed aquariums. The 5 kg size is ideal for trying the formula or for smaller systems.

Manufacturer mixing instructions

Use RODI water at about 24 °C (75 °F). For 33 ppt (1.025 S.G.), dissolve about 390 g of salt in 10 L of water — the 5 kg bucket makes about 125 L of seawater. Stir for about 15 minutes, check with a refractometer. Mixed saltwater should be used within 3 days. Manufacturer tip: keep dKH between 7.5 and 8.5 to help the probiotic bacteria reproduce. For new tanks, introduce the first animals 10 to 14 days after setup.
