Reef Salt 22 kg Bag — Reef Salt with Amino Acids and Vitamin C - Aquaforest

Aquaforest Reef Salt 22 kg — reef salt with amino acids and vitamin C for SPS and LPS tanks

The Aquaforest Reef Salt 22 kg is Aquaforest's versatile salt aimed at mixed-reef and SPS aquariums, enriched with amino acids and vitamin C. Formulated in Poland by Aquaforest, it delivers a micro- and macro-element balance built for demanding SPS reefs as well as more forgiving soft coral and LPS tanks. The amino acids feed coral tissue and polyp growth; vitamin C reinforces overall inhabitant immunity.

The 22 kg bucket makes about 150 US gal (568 L) of reef water — an ideal format for a water-change cycle on a medium-to-large tank, or for cracking several buckets at once on a multi-tank setup.

What Reef Salt is for and when to use it

• Mixed-reef tanks — SPS + LPS + soft coral mix where a balanced salt suits all.
• Demanding SPS tanks — parameters aligned with SPS reef targets without macro-nutrient overload.
• Regular water changes — weekly or bi-weekly routine on an active reef.
• New aquarium startup — initial preparation before adding livestock.

Aquaforest official preparation

• Ratio: for a salinity of 33 ppt (1.025 SG), dissolve about 390 g (13.75 oz) of salt in 10 L (2.7 US gal) of RO water.
• On that ratio, a 22 kg bucket makes about 560 L (150 US gal) of reef water.
• Temperature: about 24 °C (75 °F).
• Use demineralized (RO/DI) water prepared in advance.
• Stir vigorously for about 15 minutes until the salt is fully dissolved and the water is perfectly clear.
• Check salinity with a refractometer before use — target 33-35 ppt.

Frequently asked questions

What's the yield of a 22 kg Reef Salt bucket?

Aquaforest states about 150 US gal (568 L) of reef water per 22 kg bucket at 33 ppt salinity (1.025 SG). Official ratio: 390 g of salt in 10 L of RO/DI water gives the target salinity.

Is Reef Salt suitable for an advanced SPS tank?

Yes — Aquaforest positions Reef Salt as a versatile salt built for both mixed reefs and demanding SPS. On a densely stocked SPS tank with heavy Ca/KH/Mg draw, Reef Salt+ (elevated macros) is a better fit to save on supplemental dosing.

How long should I stir before use?

Aquaforest publishes about 15 minutes of vigorous stirring. The salt has to be fully dissolved and the water perfectly clear before use. A final refractometer check confirms salinity at 33-35 ppt.

Does Reef Salt contain bromide, phosphate, or nitrate?

No — Aquaforest states Reef Salt is bromide-free, phosphate-free, and nitrate-free. That makes it safe to use with ozone filtration without side reactions, and avoids injecting unwanted nutrients at every water change.
