Red Sea Salt — 55 Gallon Bucket / 175 Gallon Bucket / 200 Gallon Sack

Overview

Red Sea Salt is a premium-grade reef salt formulated with moderate alkalinity (8 dKH) and balanced foundation elements—calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonates—to promote sustainable coral growth and vibrant coloration. Designed for rapid mixing and high stability, it’s ideal for all reef aquarium types, especially SPS-dominant systems.

Key Features

• Balanced Foundation Elements – Contains essential calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonates to support coral skeleton formation and pH stability.

• Moderate 8 dKH Alkalinity – Perfect for maintaining natural ionic strength and promoting consistent coral growth.

• Enhanced Coloration – When used with Red Sea’s Reef Care program, it maximizes pigment saturation for vivid coral colors.

• Fast Dissolving Formula – New and improved mix reaches full clarity in about 20 minutes—ready for use faster than ever.

• Optimized for Reef Systems – Supports stable chemistry and balanced trace elements, minimizing the need for post-change adjustment.

• Ideal for SPS Reefs – Encourages growth up to twice the natural rate when used consistently with Red Sea supplements.
