Barcode 000116758208 Description
salinityTM is a blend of salts specifically formulated for the reef aquarium that contains all essential major, minor, and trace components found in natural reef waters, but contains no toxic or non-essential components. Additionally, salinityTM is the most concentrated salt blend on the market. With a hydration level of <0.5% salinityTM will yield a greater volume of prepared saltwater at a salinity of 35 per unit of weight than any other salt mix currently on the market. salinityTM is identical to the distribution of anions and cations found in Natural Sea Water (NSW). We have compiled data from all the oceans and seas on the Earth, and have targeted the midpoint of the range for each element. We guarantee to be within 5% of the midpoint. For example, at a salinity of 35, for calcium, magnesium, and strontium, we have the following targets and ranges.
Calcium: target 422 mg/L, range 400 to 443 mg/L
Alkalinity and pH values vary widely over the Earth's oceans. salinityTM will be within the following ranges:
Available Sizes
15.7 kg (34 lbs) makes 450 L/120 gal, 29.8 kg (65 lbs)makes 850 L/225 gal
Directions
1. Mix salinityTM with dechlorinated tap or purified water. We recommend the use of a commercial dechlorinator like alphaTM to neutralize any tap water chlorine and/or chloramines. If source water quality is poor we recommend purification with a Seachem PinnacleTM RO/DI system. To prepare small quantities, bring 35 grams of salinityTM up to a volume of 1 liter, or add 36.27 grams to 1 liter of water. [This is a little less than 1/2 cup of salt per US gallon of water. For 15 gallons use 7 cups of salinityTM .]
2. Stir well to ensure a good mix. Although the salinityTM solution may be used immediately, we suggest mixing for approximately 24 hours to achieve oxygen/carbon dioxide equilibrium.
3. Measure the salinity. We recommend a salinity of 35. This will be a temperature compensated SG (specific gravity) value of 1.026. If you are using uncorrected SG values (H) then the following formula will yield a value for S (salinity) accurate to within 1%:
S = [0.3348 * T] + [1325 * H] - 1330.4525 (calibrated at 15.56 oC (60 oF))
S = [0.2211 * T] + [1325 * H] - 1330.4525 (calibrated at 25 oC (77 oF))
where S is the salinity in parts per thousand; T is temperature in degrees centigrade (range of 13-30 oC); and H is the uncorrected hydrometer reading. If you don't mind an error on the order of 3%, simply use the following table:
4. Adjust salt level accordingly. If salinity is too low, then add more salinityTM . If too high, add more water.
5. Change 20% of aquarium water every two weeks (or as necessary) to maintain optimum water quality.
USAGE NOTE: NEVER mix salt in an aquarium containing livestock. Transfer livestock to the aquarium AFTER salt is completely mixed and specific gravity has been adjusted. Use Seachem's StabilityTM to avoid "new tank syndrome" and to prevent unnecessary livestock losses in a new system.
CAUTION: salinityTM IS NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Contact in dry form may cause skin or eye irritation. In case of eye contact, completely flush eye(s) with cool water and seek medical attention.
Guaranteed Ranges
We guarantee that salinityTM will have a batch specific guaranteed analysis that falls within the ranges below
salinity�Q: I am using your new salt, salinityTM , and am having a hard time getting the same parameters listed on your guaranteed analysis. I am mixing my saltwater to 1.025 specific gravity. Your label guarantees 410mg/L for calcium but when I test, I only get 385mg/L. Am I doing something wrong? A: When our batch samples are sent off to the lab to be analyzed, the guaranteed values are at a salinity of 35ppt. We do not use the measurement of specific gravity because this measurement is temperature dependent. While your specific gravity is 1.025, this does not mean that your salinity is up to 35ppt. It is best to use a temperature compensated refractometer and measure in terms of ppt in order to achieve accurate parameters. Q: I recently switched over to using the salinityTM salt and after mixing, even a couple of days later, it remains cloudy. I currently add salt to a 35 gallon drum of RO water until I have reached a salinity of 35ppt. I am using a heater and a strong powerhead in order to mix it more thoroughly. I typically mix my saltwater on Friday for a Sunday water change. Is there something I can do to prevent the cloudiness? A: It is completely normal for some batches of salinityTM to mix up more cloudy than others. This is due to more elevated levels of certain elements, in particular, calcium and alkalinity. Please rest assured that this cloudiness will not harm any of your inhabitants, corals, etc. and should dissipate very quickly. We use the salinityTM here at Seachem and there are times when we cannot let it mix for 24 hours, and have to use it within several hours of mixing. Though cloudy initially, within thirty minutes to an hour of putting it in the tanks, it is crystal clear. Furthermore, based on our observations, the salt clouds more as the water temp increases. Also, mixing the salt more than 24 hours causes a decrease in alkalinity and pH. This is somewhat expected as the increase in CO2 (more so with excessive agitation) causes a pH shift downward and can also cause precipitation of some of the components, namely calcium and carbonates. For best results, make salinityTM up at room temperature (22 to 25 degrees Centigrade). Stir well until thoroughly dissolved. salinityTM is then ready for immediate use. Excessive mixing may result in cloudiness, due to carbon dioxide absorption. Cloudiness will dissipate when the salinityTM solution is added to the aquarium. |
