H2Ocean Pro+
NEW HIGH MAGNESIUM SALT
A new premium salt manufactured by a solar evaporative process, which produces a
totally natural base salt where all of the main and trace elements are in
complete balance as nature intended. The pure natural salt is then specially
enhanced for aquarium use by elevating specific elements that over time become
depleted, such as calcium and magnesium which are used by corals and coralline
algae for growth.
CHEMISTRY
The final formulation for H2OceanPRO+ salt was developed by D-D following many
months of testing and evaluation. The salt is designed to dissolve quickly and
easily and to have a specific chemistry which in our opinion is the optimum
formulation to maintain a healthy reef and allow regular water changes whilst
maintaining a natural balance. Calcium and Magnesium levels are boosted to
replace that used up through coral growth within the aquarium whereas chloride
levels are slightly lowered to allow post additions of calcium and magnesium
chloride with a minimized affect on the chloride balance.
PRO PLUS FORMULA WITH BOOSTED MAGNESIUM
Many salts concentrate on enhancing calcium levels and often ignore magnesium
levels. Maintenance of the correct magnesium concentration is equally important
in a reef aquarium and will make it much easier to maintain stable calcium, pH
and alkalinity.

Mixing
The volume of salt water that can be made from a single bucket of salt will
depend on the final SG that the salt solution is mixed to.
For a reef aquarium we suggest mixing to an S.G: of 1.025 @ 25°C = 35.5 ppt by
using the salt to water ratio given below.
Using a clean container:
~Add 1 Kg of H2Ocean+ to 25 litres of water ( 1 Lb to 3.0 U.S. Gallons )
~Mix well until all of the salt is dissolved and the solution is clear.
~We recommend that you aerate for 24 hours and bring to temperature before use.
~Check the S.G. before addition to the aquarium.
~If required add more salt or water to obtain the correct S.G. reading.
~Remember that S.G. changes with temperature.
