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.

If I make water for salt water fish, about how much sea salt I need to put in water? And does the sea salt must be cleared
We are new to having aquariums, we really didn't realize so many things played a factor with the water. We currently have a 10 gallon tank but want to increase to a 29 gallon tank. We currently buy gallons of water but with the 29 gallon tank we really don't want to have to do that. We have well water with a salt filter. My levels from to tap was nitrate 10, nitrite 0, hardness 0, chlorine 0, alk 100, ph 7.. is my tap water safe even with the salt filter.
I accidentally bought ich x for saltwater. I’m wondering if I can use it in my freshwater tank?
I have a Four discus fish with water wisteria(Hygrophila difformis plants ) . Can I add Rock salt(sodium chloride ) in aquarium this tank ? I have some adding this ....so any bad effects on plants and discus ?
I bought aquarium salt for my betta fish. How many times should I do a water change for his treatment?
What if you only have freshwater or saltwater what’s more needed
My flowerhorn tanks water has exptremely high nitrate level . I returned from vacation yesterday to find a cloudy tank and high levels nitrate . I did a 50% water change and added prime . He now is gasping for air or at least that’s what it looks like and nitrates are still in the red . I was told to add aquarium salts and wait it out . I’m scared I’ll loose him . What should I do quarantine
Hello! Things didn’t go so well with cichlids and I only have one remaining which I moved to a different tank. The 45 is now empty and the others besides one blue African cichlid has died. I did water tests and most came out fine except the Carbonate hardness which was at a 40. (That’s bad as far as I know if you could clarify that would be great) but I have a goldfish that would do great in there but I’m very attached and I don’t want anything to happen to him as well any idea of what I can do?
Best foods for 29gallon tank with 4Rosaline Sharks, 4Congo Tetras, 1large bushy nosed plecostamus. Vitamins?
My blood parrot cichlid's tank is extremely cloudy. Whenever I clean his tank I usually put in some water clarifier and conditioner in, and normally this works just fine and the water is clear. However, I recently just got a 30-gallon tank. When adding the solutions again I adjusted all the measurements so that it would suit the tank. Instead of clearing up it just stayed the same. I checked all the levels of the tank, pH, etc. I don't know what to do
Is it suitable to make a 1 feet marine tank. What fish should i keep in it?
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
