The Dosing Formula version of H2Ocean salt has been specifically developed for use in reef aquariums, where the main methodology used for maintaining the correct levels in the aquarium is through chemical dosing or use of a calcium reactor.
Use of this specific formulation allows interim water changes to be made to your aquarium without observing temporary elevations in the dKH or calcium and is therefore ideal for Balling, Balling light or Triton dosing and is also suitable for ULNS low nutrient systems.
Natural Salt
Its natural origin ensures that the salt contains all 70 main and trace elements in the correct proportions mixed to a homogeneous blend by nature.
Balanced Formula
In nature there is a natural balance between the calcium, alkalinity and magnesium levels. Many salts are found to be either unnaturally high in calcium or high in alkalinity and therefore with these salts either extra buffer or extra calcium is required to be added to return the natural balance.
With H2Ocean reef salt the calcium and alkalinity are in the correct ratios keeping the ionic balance in equilibrium with natural levels which is so important for healthy coral growth.
Optimum Chemistry
The formulation for H2Ocean salt has been continually developed by D-D over many years. 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 designed to replace those that are 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 effect on the chloride balance.
Low Hydration
Both H2Ocean reef salt formulations have an extremely low hydration level compared to many other salts. This is achieved through production under strictly controlled conditions to prevent water from the atmosphere from being absorbed into the salt so that it is now 3% stronger, therefore kilo for kilo you get more salt and less water in your pack.
