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.

Great if mixed properly

Works for my Mixed Corals Reef Tank. To get the maximum benefit from it, add Half of the Salt to RO/DI Water. When this is dissolved, add a Quarter of the Salt. Finally adjust the Salinity to your preferred Specific Gravity.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Trash

Mylesg

Reef Crystals is trash, it makes for double the work. After a water change with Reef Crystals you have to clean your tank a day later along with the tools and buckets to clean up all the residue and trash left behind from this junk.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Will this mess with my nitrate nitrite and pH levels?

  1. 2 years ago
    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.

How long can this store for?

  1. 3 years ago
    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?

  1. 4 years ago
    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?

  1. 5 years ago
    Thank you for your question. Yes, it is safe for all marine animals.
