Introducing Hybrid Pro Salt; our most advanced reef salt yet. After years of observing reef tanks thrive on natural seawater (NSW) or chemically pure laboratory-made salt, we wanted to create a Hybrid Pro Salt formula designed to deliver the benefits of both salts to our delicate reef dwellers and modern aquarium enthusiasts looking for more natural reef methods enriched with probiotics.
After collecting a variety of water samples from naturally thriving reefs across Egypt, Kenya, Indonesia and Fiji, our chemists and biologists analyzed ICP results from these established coral reef habitats to create a set of parameters for the most demanding corals. Unlike the ocean, an aquarium is a closed ecosystem and not all elements are consumed equally. To compensate for differences in absorption, we have increased the levels of the most commonly consumed micronutrients and trace elements such as strontium and iodine for greater stability.
What makes Hybrid Pro Salt unique?
Hybrid Pro Salt incorporates chemically pure laboratory-made salt with natural sea salt flakes from the cleanest waters of the North Atlantic Ocean
Proprietary blend of probiotic bacteria to reduce nitrate and phosphate levels while increasing color intensity and growth potential often inhibited by high phosphate levels.
Contains a number of micro and macro trace elements and is enriched with the highest quality amino acids and vitamins that contribute to immunity and natural metabolic functions.
This new Hybrid Pro Salt formula creates conditions almost identical to those found in natural seawater while having the added benefit of probiotics to help maintain microbiological balance and safely lower nitrate and phosphate levels .
Dosage and storage
For optimal use, Hybrid Pro Salt should be dissolved in RODI water at a temperature between 24 and 25°C (75 and 77°F) at a salinity of 33 ppt (1.025 SG)
Dissolve 390 grams of salt in 10 liters (2.19 US gal) of RODI water
Mix for about 15 minutes. Once completely dissolved, the salt water is ready for immediate use
Dissolved salt should be used within 3 days. Evaporation changes water parameters, so keep prepared salt water tightly closed. If you store it for several days, check its salinity before use
Store salt in a dry, moisture-free place in a dark place
Safety data sheet available on request
ADVICE
We recommend keeping dKH between 7.5 and 8.5 to help probiotic bacteria reproduce. Higher/lower levels may reduce bacterial activity
When setting up new aquariums, we recommend introducing the first fish/corals no earlier than 10-14 days after the tank has been set up and the water parameters have stabilized.
