Underworld Reef Crystals Sea Salt

 

Reef Crystals
 
Reef Crystals enriched blend sea salt contains extra levels of calcium, vitamins, and selected trace elements. Developed for use in sophisticated reef aquariums, it was the first enriched sea water formulation available to aquarium hobbyists.

The inclusion of important components at concentrations greater than in natural seawater assures extended availability of substances that are assimilated and depleted especially quickly in thriving reef aquariums. A special additive helps to detoxify excess heavy metals, such as copper, that are often found at elevated levels in domestic water supplies.

Reef Crystals salt provides superior dissolvability and is compatible with all marine aquariums. They use only the most sophisticated biological and chemical test methods to develop and refine their formulas, and Reef Crystals sea salt is no exception.

Every batch is carefully analyzed to guarantee composition, consistency, and uniformity.

Sera glass Hydrometer

The water conditions in the ocean are more constant than in rivers or lakes. Therefore, marine life is much more sensitive to changes in environmental conditions. Thus, the water density must be controlled permanently by means of the sera hydrometer.


We recommend using sera sea salt for the preparation of aquarium saltwater as it contains all essential minerals and trace elements.
