D&D H2Ocean Natural Reef Salt is a premium aquarium salt produced through a natural solar evaporative process. This method creates a totally natural base salt where all 70 main and trace elements are in complete balance as nature intended. Specifically enhanced for reef aquarium use, it elevates key elements like calcium and magnesium that are rapidly depleted by coral growth and coralline algae. Its reputation for consistent parameters and optimum chemistry makes it a global favorite for maintaining healthy, vibrant reef systems.
H2Ocean is engineered to provide a specific chemistry that mirrors natural seawater while supporting the high demands of a closed reef.
Solar Evaporative Origin: Unlike purely synthetic salts, its natural origin ensures a homogeneous blend of all 70 trace elements in their correct biological proportions.
Balanced Foundation Elements: Maintains the crucial ratio between calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium to keep the ionic balance in equilibrium, preventing the need for immediate supplementation after water changes.
Magnesium Pro Plus Formula: Unlike salts that ignore magnesium, H2Ocean boosts magnesium levels to simplify the stabilization of calcium, pH, and alkalinity.
Low Hydration Level: Produced under strictly controlled conditions to prevent atmospheric moisture absorption, making it 3% "stronger" kilo-for-kilo than many competitors.
Rapid Dissolution: Designed to dissolve quickly and clearly, allowing for regular water changes without leaving behind significant residue or causing cloudy water.
How much water does a bucket make?
The yield depends on your target salinity. A 6.6 kg tub typically makes 165–200 liters (43–52 US gallons), while a 23 kg bucket makes 592–702 liters (156–185 US gallons).
What is the best way to mix H2Ocean salt?
Add the salt to RO water and mix for approximately 30 minutes. Avoid extended mixing times (several hours), as the solution can react with atmospheric CO2 and cause a slight precipitation of calcium carbonate.
Can I use tap water with this salt?
It is highly recommended to use Reverse Osmosis (RO) water. Because H2Ocean is already enhanced with calcium (approx. 440 mg/L), using hard tap water can cause calcium levels to rise too high and precipitate out.
Seachem Prime: Use to treat any water used for mixing if an RO system is not available, though RO is preferred for this salt.
