Seachem Brackish Salt 300 G

Description

Seachem Brackish Salt 300g — Specialised Electrolyte Formula Mimicking Freshwater Conditions Of Brackish Estuaries and Mangroves In Aquarium Tanks

Seachem Brackish Salt 300g (SKU: 725179-226) is a specialised mineral salt mix designed to replicate the natural water conditions of brackish estuaries and mangrove swamps. This product is ideal for aquarists keeping species such as archerfish, mollies, monos, pufferfish and other brackish-water inhabitants. Species such as Pufferfish, Monos, Scats, Archerfish, and Mollies thrive in transitional environments where freshwater mixes with seawater. Standard freshwater salts lack the trace elements required for these species, while synthetic marine salts can elevate GH and pH beyond natural brackish levels.

When properly dosed, it elevates water salinity and stabilises key parameters such as specific gravity and ionic balance without stressing aquatic life. Seachem Brackish Salt is a specialised aquarium additive formulated to create and maintain brackish water conditions that mimic natural environments found in estuaries, mangroves and brackish ecosystems. It helps adjust water chemistry by introducing the appropriate balance of salts and minerals needed for fish and invertebrates that thrive in brackish water.

Formulated with precise ratios of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulphate, Brackish Salt creates an accurate estuarine environment. A reliable choice for brackish aquarium enthusiasts, Seachem Brackish Salt supports healthy water conditions and a stable environment tailored to the needs of brackish-dwelling fish and invertebrates. The 300g size is ideal for small-to-medium brackish aquariums, supporting health, colouration, and osmoregulation.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Brackish Habitat Setup: Recreates estuarine water parameters for Figure-8 Puffers, Monos, and Scats.
• Suitable for use in freshwater aquariums transitioning to brackish setups.
• Livebearer Water Enhancements: Provides light brackish conditioning for Mollies, Guppies, and Platies.
• Specific Gravity Maintenance: Maintains stable low-salinity levels (SG 1.002 to 1.010).

Dosing & Administration Guide

• Light Brackish (Mollies, Guppies): Add 12 g (1 tablespoon) per 40 L of water (SG ~ 1.002).
• Medium Brackish (Puffers, Archers): Add 24 g (2 tablespoons) per 40 L of water (SG ~ 1.005).
• Mixing Protocol: Pre-dissolve required salt in freshwater and check specific gravity using a hydrometer or refractometer.
