Kent Marine Reef Salt Mix Information




Makes 50 Gallons of Saltwater

New Reef Formula! More Calcium, Magnesium and Strontium

Kent Marine Sea Salt provides the essentials to simulate a natural seawater environment. Formulated using fine grain salt to dissolve easily and to supply an enhanced blend of both vitamins and minerals. These provide marine animals everything they need not only to survive, but thrive in their artificial environment. Fully buffered and provides a broad spectrum of beneficial major and minor elements, viramins, trace minerals, and enhanced levels of calcium, strontrium, and iodide.

Compared to natural seawater, KENT Marine Reef Salt contains elevated levels of Calcium, Magnesium, Strontium and other elements to provide the essentials required for proper coral growth, skeletal structure development, and reef vitality.

Directions:

Dissolving ½ cup of KENT Marine Reef Salt in 1 gallon (3.8 L) of purified 78°F water will yield a solution with the following properties:
  • Specific Gravity: 1.021 - 1.023
  • pH: 8.2 to 8.3
  • Calcium: 425 to 450 ppm
  • Magnesium: 1,150 to 1,250 ppm
To reach the recommended specific gravity of 1.024 to 1.026 for reef aquariums, dissolve an additional 2 tablespoons (½ cup + 2 tbsp) of KENT Marine Reef Salt per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of purified 78°F water. This will yield a solution with the following properties:
  • Specific Gravity: 1.024 - 1.026
  • pH: 8.2 to 8.3
  • Calcium: 550 to 575 ppm
  • Magnesium: 1,350 to 1,450 ppm

Experience Level: Intermediate


Comments: This salt mixes well, the alkalinity and ph were right on after 12 hrs of of mixing with the powerhead. However the only thing I didn't like is that with a salinity of 1.024 the calcium level was at 560. Definitly verry rich in calcium. Since I don't have any Stoneys this is overkill. I would however recommend this for SPS and LPS tanks.

"As always my experience with Marine Depot was 'overall satisfaction.' If on the phone, by video or the write-in reviews on the product I am interested in, they are always helpful. When I am in doubt of what product will help me or where to find it, Marine Depot is usually the first and last place I go to."
