Red Sea Salt contains balanced levels of essential elements (Ca, Mg, and KH) essential for balanced and proper coral growth.
Using Red Sea Salt will maximize pigment saturation to bring out the most vibrant coral colors, while stimulating growth up to twice as fast as natural coral growth. Red Sea Salt's alkalinity of 8dKH makes it ideal for all types of reef aquariums, especially SPS-dominated tanks.
Moreover, thanks to its higher solubility resulting from years of research and testing, preparing the brine takes only a few minutes.
Natural seawater contains over 70 elements. Most of them affect water parameters, but only a few play a significant role in its overall chemical stability. These elements form the basis of the reef environment and include three main elements: calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonates.
These three "basic elements" have a major impact on the pH stability, alkalinity, ionic strength of seawater, and many biological processes of corals (skeleton formation, ion exchange, photosynthesis).
Unlike a natural reef environment, where the number of foundational elements is infinite, a reef aquarium has limited resources, which are quickly absorbed by the aquarium inhabitants. Therefore, to enable sustainable coral growth, it is necessary to maintain higher than natural levels of foundational elements.
Research conducted at the Red Sea Laboratory has shown that increasing the level of foundation elements above the levels found in natural seawater, in a very specific ratio, will stimulate coral growth and result in proper coral skeleton growth.
