Instant Ocean Reef Crystals Reef Salt, 160 Gallons
Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
Instant Ocean Reef Crystals Reef Salt is formulated especially for use in reef aquariums. It contains essential ocean reef elements in concentrations greater than those found in natural sea water. Extra calcium encourages the growth of large and small polyp stony corals (LPS and SPS) as well as coralline algae. Extra trace elements provide an additional measure of vital nutrients, and extra vitamins help to promote vigorous growth and survival of corals, anemones and other invertebrates in a captive environment. Neutralizes traces of heavy metals often present in tap water.

Questions
Will this mess with my nitrate nitrite and pH levels?
- This will adjust the pH to the appropriate level for marine animals which is 8.3. It will not increase or decrease nitrite or nitrate levels. Those are controlled by nitrifying bacteria and partial water changes, etc.
Helpful?
How long can this store for?
- It has no shelf life as long as it stays dry and is stored in an airtight container, it will last.

I'm looking to make my 60 gallon into a saltwater tank and was wondering do i just need this, or this plus the salt for the water?
- This is a salt mix, intended for reef tanks. If you plan to have fish only or fish with live rock, Instant Ocean would be the correct one to use, instead of Reef Crystals.

Is this safe for fish too?
- Thank you for your question. Yes, it is safe for all marine animals.

Hello i have a fish tank 45l with 11 fishes in it (Shubunkin , opaline gourami , honey gourami , trichogaster etc) . i added the fish a week ago and tested the water and it was fine.today i see that 2 of my Scalars aren't eating like everyone else , so i tested the water . Everything was fine except for Nitrite levels that was 3.0 - 5.0 ppm. I changed 25 % of the water and added Easy Life Filter Medium and after some hours i tested again the water quality and it was the same I also added salt
Can you use sand from the beach to add to your freshwater aquarium, if its sanitize?
I just purchased imagitarium aquarium salt for my betta. I have never used aquarium salt before and It says on the label that I can combine it with sprinkling in a little bit of food once a day. Does this mean it is safe to add the salt in with my fish in the tank? What process should I take so he doesn't become overwhelmed? Also does this help prevent/get rid of fin rot? Thank you!
my male betta has moderate fin rot & the people at the pet store told me to put him in a quarantine tank with aquarium salt for 7-10 days. he’s lethargic, not eating, and not moving much and im very worried. ive had him in a quarantine tank for 2 days now but pieces of his fins are still falling off. how long does the aquarium salt take to take effect? if the aquarium salt doesn’t work, what else could i try?

Hello, I have a betta and I'm sure he has moderate fin rot. Thing is I have him in a 1.1 bowl because I broke my bigger 2.5 gal tank. Ive been doing water changes and recently bought aquarium salt, bettafix, and Tail and Body Cure from API but I'm not sure how to use it in such a small tank w/o a heater... I know its such a bad environment but its not for long. I just need my betta to last a weak till I get a decent tank. Could you please give me a suggestion. I greatly appreciate your time.
Is there a thing such as adding too much water conditioner? I use reptisafe for my African dwarf frog.
