Salt Mixes
Synthetic sea salt mixes offer a convenient,
do-it-yourself way of creating saltwater for your aquarium. When mixed
with RO/DI filtered tap water, synthetic sea salts become pure
saltwater with consistent calcium, alkalinity and pH levels. And,
thanks to the purity of the formulations, synthetic sea salts are
nitrate and phosphate-free, minimizing the likelihood of unwanted algae
blooms in your aquarium. Higher-priced salt mixes often contain higher
calcium, alkalinity and trace element levels, which make them better
suited for the reef aquarium environment.
