Tropic Marin sea salt is manufactured from pharmaceutically pure salts and is based upon the most recent scientific analysis of the tropical oceans. It is free from synthetic additives and contains no nitrates, phosphates or silicates. Tropic Marin Sea Salt turns fresh water into salt water, which is practically indistinguishable from natural seawater.
The Salt With The True-To-Life Trace Elements.
Tropic Marin Sea Salt contains all 70 trace elements in the natural concentrations of the ocean. No more, no less. Because of the unique application of the mixed salt crystals, the trace elements remain completely usable in the water. This method prevents the otherwise frequent precipitation of the trace elements and provides the organisms with the elements without chelates and in a biological form, which is directly usable by them. Only Tropic Marin has this unique «mixed crystal» technology.
The Salt For The True-To-Life Biosphere.
Marine life can only flourish in a healthy environment. Tropic Marin Sea Salt provides true-to-life living conditions in the aquarium. Seawater prepared with Tropic Marin Sea Salt forms the ideal biosphere for delicate fish, marine plants and invertebrates and creates natural conditions for keeping and breeding them with success.
Salt Of The Highest Quality.
For over 30 years, Tropic Marin Sea Salt has been and is still the only sea salt in the world produced under scientific supervision in the most modern facilities designed for the preparation of high-purity pharmaceuticals. All batches of Tropic Marin undergo stringent quality control in test laboratories. Production and testing is done according to the criteria for the quality management certification ISO 9000.
Thanks to the re-sealable packaging, specially developed for high purity salts with optimal moisture protection, Tropic Marin Sea Salt is distinguished with having perfect solubility and maximum shelf life when compared with other salts.
Tropic Marin Tropic Marin: A strong foundation in science and hobby: The successful methods and techniques of today`s marine aquarists are the result of a close collaboration between serious hobbyists, scientists and specialists at public aquariums. Tropic Marin came about in exactly the same way over 30 years ago! This close cooperation resulted in one of the first complete one-part synthetic marine salt mixtures that provided the optimum natural environment for the professional as well as the private aquarist.

After more than 20 years, I've tried plenty of mixes. With Tropic Marine I had mini feather dusters growing all over my rocks. I decided to order a cheaper popular brand, and now rocks are covered with soot/powder, and all mini feather dusters have disappeared. I just ordered several buckets of Tropic Marin. After 1st water change, the water quality/clarity is clear! I'm sure won't be long before my mini feather dusters return. TM til I die! And no plans on leaving here anytime soon.Hide
This salt has produced great clarity, sable parameters, mixes very easy fast and clear. Corals have bright colors and growth is very good. Have tried other salts and had bad results....but not with Tropic Marin...great results.
