| H2Ocean Pro+
NEW HIGH MAGNESIUM SALT
A
new premium salt manufactured by a solar evaporative process, which
produces a totally natural base salt where all of the main and trace
elements are in complete balance as nature intended. The pure natural
salt is then specially enhanced for aquarium use by elevating specific
elements that over time become depleted, such as calcium and magnesium
which are used by corals and coralline algae for growth.
CHEMISTRY
The final formulation for H2OceanPRO+ salt was developed by D-D
following many months of testing and evaluation. The salt is designed
to dissolve quickly and easily and to have a specific chemistry which
in our opinion is the optimum formulation to maintain a healthy reef
and allow regular water changes whilst maintaining a natural balance.
Calcium and Magnesium levels are boosted to replace that used up
through coral growth within the aquarium whereas chloride levels are
slightly lowered to allow post additions of calcium and magnesium
chloride with a minimized affect on the chloride balance.
PRO PLUS FORMULA WITH BOOSTED MAGNESIUM
Many salts concentrate on enhancing calcium levels and often ignore
magnesium levels. Maintenance of the correct magnesium concentration is
equally important in a reef aquarium and will make it much easier to
maintain stable calcium, pH and alkalinity.

RO WATER
H2Ocean Pro+ salt is recommended for use with
Reverse Osmosis water or soft water with a calcium level lower than 30
mg/l. As the calcium level in H2Ocean+ is already enhanced to 440 mg/l
then mixing with hard tap water which contains additional calcium may
raise the concentration above normal recommended levels and cause the
calcium to precipitate out of solution.
RO water removes
undesirable ions like phosphate and nitrate from your tap water which
otherwise would contribute to nuisance algae in your aquarium.
D-D manufactures a range of Reverse Osmosis units which are available from your retailer.
MAGNESIUM PRO PLUS FORMULA
Many salts concentrate on boosting calcium levels and ignore magnesium levels.
Maintenance
of the correct magnesium concentration is equally important in a reef
aquarium and will make it much easier to maintain stable calcium, pH
and alkalinity.
MIXING
Using a clean container:
- Add 1 Kg of H2Ocean+ to 24.2 litres of water ( 1 Lb to 2.9 U.S. Gallons )
- Mix well until all of the salt is dissolved and the solution is clear.
- We recommend that you aerate for 24 hours and bring to temperature before use.
- Check the S.G. before addition to the aquarium.
- If required add more salt or water to obtain the correct S.G. reading.
- Remember that S.G. changes with temperature.
D-D recommends the use of a portable refractometer for accurate and consistent measurement of the S.G. of your salt solution.
