Product Questions
Thinking of switching from RS coral pro. What’s the most similar reef +? Also what’s the mixing is it still 1 to 1 like Red Sea?
Question by: Josh on May 23, 2025, 11:52 AM
Great question, the Reef plus would be the most similar. The mixing instructions for the Reef Plus are pasted below.
Instructions for Use
Dissolve 390 grams of salt into 10 liters (2.19 US gal) of RODI water
Mix for approximately 15 minutes. Once completely dissolved, the saltwater is ready for immediate use
For best results, Reef Salt+ should be dissolved in RODI water at a temperature between 24-25°C (75-77°F) at a salinity of 33 ppt (1.025 S.G.).
The dissolved salt should be used up within 3 days. Evaporation changes the parameters of the water, so keep the prepared saltwater tightly closed. If you store it for several days, check its salinity before use.

It wasn't until after the bag was delivered that I realized that this salt has aminos, vitamins and "nutrients" added. Instructions mention using the mixed seawater within 5 days. I usually mix 50 g that's used for auto water changes over a couple weeks. My question is will it be ok if stored for 2 weeks? If not what issues might I expect?
Question by: KJ on Dec 1, 2023, 9:32 PM
If you are planning on keeping it for 2 weeks, I would recommend looking into a different salt mix such as Tropic Marin Pro or HW Reefer.

Is the Reef Saltmix blend phosphate free?
Question by: TidyTanks Aquarium on Oct 12, 2022, 7:50 PM
Thanks for reaching out! It is hard to make salt that is 100% phosphate free. That said this is one where you will see trace amounts and lower than most salts out there.

What are the parameters (alk, ca, mg) that this salt mixes to at 35ppt?
Question by: Alex Nies on Aug 11, 2022, 7:55 AM
Hey there,
Thank you for reaching out to us. On the product page, and the last photo, you can see the parameter break down to different salinity. AT 35PPT is is 7.7-8.3, 440-460 Ca, and 1360-1420 Mg.
Please let me know if you need anything further and take care!
