Nyos – PURE Salt Mix
Overview
Premium-grade marine salt formulated for natural seawater (NSW) chemistry and ultra-clean mixing. PURE uses pharmaceutical-grade base salts and balanced trace elements for stable parameters, rapid dissolution, and crystal-clear water—ideal for SPS/mixed reefs and modern low-nutrient systems.
Key Features
-
NSW-balanced: targets realistic reef parameters for stability and coloration
-
Ultra-low impurities: no added nitrates, phosphates, or anti-caking agents
-
Fast-dissolving & clear: mixes clean with minimal residue and quick pH stabilization
-
Consistent batch control: tight tolerances on major/trace elements
-
Suitable for SPS, LPS, and mixed reefs; great for routine water changes & new setups
Target Parameters (mixed to 35 ppt / 1.026 SG @ 25 °C / 77 °F)
-
Alkalinity: ~7.5–8.0 dKH
-
Calcium: ~420 mg/L
-
Magnesium: ~1280–1320 mg/L
-
Potassium: ~380–420 mg/L
-
Strontium & essential traces: balanced to NSW ranges
(No measurable nitrate/phosphate when mixed with RODI water.)
Mixing Instructions
-
Use RO/DI water, 0 TDS preferred.
-
Heat & circulate to 75–78 °F (24–26 °C).
-
Add salt slowly to the water (never water to salt).
-
Start at ~35 g/L (4.7 oz/US gal) and adjust to 1.025–1.026 SG (35 ppt) with a calibrated refractometer.
-
Mix for 1–2 hours until fully dissolved and clear; use within 24 hours for best results.
Pro Tips
-
For acclimation or soft-coral systems: mix to 1.023–1.025 SG (32–34 ppt).
-
Match temp, salinity, and alkalinity to your display before water changes.
-
Store sealed, dry, and at room temperature to prevent clumping and drift.
