Quantum Mixed Macro Probiotic Salt – 20kg Box

Description

Quantum Mixed Macro Probiotic Salt 20kg Box — Boxed Bulk Reef Salt for Large Mixed Reef Systems

Large mixed reefs and multi-tank systems buy salt by the box, and Quantum Mixed Macro Probiotic Salt 20kg Box (SKU: QA062000) is the Reef Essential mixed-reef blend in that format. At 35.2 g per litre the 20 kg makes about 568 L at a specific gravity of 1.025, enough for a season of weekly changes on a 500 L system or a mixing barrel that feeds several tanks. The salt is a hybrid: sodium chloride from natural South Australian seawater, with the remaining elements added synthetically for a consistent result from box to box.

Mixed reefs are the hardest tanks to pick a salt for, because acropora and hammers want different alkalinity, and Quantum’s answer is to sit in the middle. At 1.025 the mix is formulated for roughly 430 ppm calcium, 8 dKH, 1,295 ppm magnesium and 390 ppm potassium. It is free of nitrate and phosphate, and it includes natural macrobiotics, probiotics and vitamin precursors, which the manufacturer adds to support beneficial bacteria and fish health. The box is blended under humidity control; keeping the inner pack sealed between changes preserves that dryness across the weeks a box lasts.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Large mixed displays: Systems of 500 L and more keeping softies, LPS and SPS together.
• Central mixing stations: One box feeding a reservoir that serves several tanks on the same chemistry.
• Coral farms and frag racks: Grow-out systems with a wide range of coral types.
• Retail holding systems: Shop tanks that stock a broad coral list at one set of parameters.

Mixing & Application Guide

• Do the sum: Litres being made up multiplied by 35.2 g is the salt for 1.025.
• RODI water, salt added to it: Water at about 25 °C, salt poured in and a pump run until every grain has dissolved; never water onto salt.
• Temperature, then gravity: Let the mix stabilise and confirm the reading before it goes anywhere near livestock.
• Reseal the inner pack: Fold and clip it after each use; dry salt is never added directly to the tank.
