Quantum Mixed Macro Probiotic Salt – 22kg

Description

Quantum Mixed Macro Probiotic Salt 22kg — Largest Pack of Reef Salt for Mixed Coral Aquariums

The biggest pack in a salt range is bought for one reason: the lowest cost per litre of mixed water. Quantum Mixed Macro Probiotic Salt 22kg (SKU: QA062200) delivers about 625 L at a specific gravity of 1.025 from its 35.2 g per litre dose, which is the most water any pack of the Reef Essential mixed-reef blend will make. The salt is a hybrid, with sodium chloride taken from natural seawater off South Australia and the remaining elements added synthetically, and it is produced in a humidity-controlled facility so it pours cleanly.

The formula targets the middle ground a mixed reef needs. At 1.025 Quantum designs it for around 430 ppm calcium, 8 dKH alkalinity, 1,295 ppm magnesium and 390 ppm potassium, high enough for LPS tissue growth and gentle enough for acropora that dislike a high-alkalinity swing. It is free of nitrate and phosphate, and it carries the natural macrobiotics, probiotics and vitamin precursors that give the range its name, included by the manufacturer to support beneficial bacteria and fish vitality. A pack this size rewards careful storage: decant what you need and keep the rest sealed.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Very large mixed reefs: Displays and sumps past 500 L that use a pack like this in a season.
• Fish rooms: Several mixed tanks fed from one reservoir on a single salt.
• Maintenance rounds: One pack covering a set of client tanks on the same blend.
• Committed keepers: Anyone who has proven the mix on a smaller pack and wants the best economy.

Mixing & Application Guide

• Calculate the salt: Multiply the litres of new water by 35.2 g for a gravity of 1.025.
• Add to water at 25 °C: Pour the salt into RODI water, run a pump until it has dissolved completely, and never pour water onto dry salt.
• Stabilise and read: Wait for the temperature to settle before checking the gravity and using the water.
• Store it sealed: Close the pack tightly after each change; unmixed salt never goes into the display.
