The new formula of Blue Treasure Reef Sea Salt is the result of extensive research into the physiological needs of corals and other marine organisms in reef aquariums worldwide. It is ideal for household saltwater aquariums, large public aquariums, and is even recommended for breeding brine shrimp.
All Blue Treasure synthetic sea salts are made from pure, food-grade raw materials and contain the complete range of trace elements found in natural seawater. Special vitamins and protective colloids are added to boost the immune functions of marine life.

Key Benefits
- Enhances nutrient absorption and boosts the health of marine organisms.
- Maintains stable pH levels and an ideal buffer capacity.
- Suitable for sensitive marine aquariums and cultivation systems.
- Widely used in public aquariums, zoos, and research institutions globally.
Directions for Use
- Mix 1 kg of Blue Treasure Reef Sea Salt with 28.5 liters (7.5 gallons) of fresh water (RO water recommended).
- Stir until the salt completely dissolves.
- At 23–25°C (73–77°F), ensure the specific gravity of the saltwater is between 1.024 and 1.026.
For optimal water quality, perform weekly partial water changes by replacing 10% of the total water volume with saltwater prepared using Blue Treasure Reef Sea Salt. This helps maintain the health of your marine organisms.
