Quantum Fowlr Macro Probiotic Salt – 20kg Box

Description

Quantum FOWLR Macro Probiotic Salt 20kg Box — Hybrid Natural Seawater Salt Mix for Fish-Only Marine Systems

A fish-only tank with live rock does not need reef-level calcium and alkalinity; it needs consistency, fish-friendly mineral content and water that stays stable between changes. Quantum FOWLR Macro Probiotic Salt 20kg Box (SKU: QA032000) is blended for exactly that. The FOWLR Essential mix is a hybrid: its sodium chloride comes from natural seawater drawn off the South Australian coast, and the remaining elements are added synthetically, so each batch carries the character of real seawater with the repeatability of a manufactured salt. The 20 kg box is the economical format for a large fish-only display or a multi-tank system.

Quantum manufactures the salt in a humidity-controlled environment and adds natural macrobiotics, probiotics and vitamin precursors, which it credits with improving mineral content, encouraging beneficial bacteria and supporting fish vitality. The published parameters give you a target for each specific gravity: at 1.025 the mix yields about 470 ppm calcium, 11.2 dKH alkalinity, 1,450 ppm magnesium and 410 ppm potassium, with lower figures at 1.022 and 1.019 for keepers who run fish-only systems at a reduced salinity. Mixing follows the usual sequence of choosing a gravity, weighing the salt, dissolving it fully and storing the rest dry.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Fish-only with live rock: Predator tanks, angel and tang displays and quarantine systems that carry no corals.
• Reduced-salinity systems: The parameter table covers 1.019 and 1.022 for keepers who run fish-only tanks lighter than a reef.
• Large regular changes: A 20 kg box suits systems that turn over hundreds of litres a month.
• New fish-only set-ups: Mixes the first fill for a tank that will hold fish and rock but not coral.

Mixing & Application Guide

• Choose the specific gravity: Pick 1.019, 1.022 or 1.025 from the parameter table to match how the tank is run.
• Weigh, then dissolve: Add the salt to RODI water at about 25 °C, never the other way round, and mix with a pump until it is fully dissolved.
• Let it settle: Allow the temperature to stabilise and confirm the gravity before the water goes in; never add unmixed salt to an aquarium.
• Keep the box dry: Reseal the box between uses so the remaining salt does not draw in moisture.
