#SALT FOR MARINE AQUARIUM SKIN#

In case of contact, completely flush skin or eye(s)

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.Ĭontact in dry form may cause skin or eye irritation. Transfer animals to the aquarium AFTER salt is completely mixed and aerated and specific gravity has been adjusted.ĬAUTION: INSTANT OCEAN IS NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.

USAGE NOTE: NEVER mix salt in an aquarium containing animals. Change 20% of aquarium water every two weeks to maintain optimum water quality. lf too high, add more dechlorinated water.ĥ. If specific gravity is too low, add more Instant Ocean. NOTE: 1.5 lbs of Instant Ocean is formulated to create 5 gallons of saltwater at a specific gravity of 1.022.Ĥ. Recommended Specific Gravity Range: 1.020 - 1.024 at 77☏. Measure specific gravity with an Instant Ocean® Hydrometer. Although the Instant Ocean solution may be used immediately, we suggest aerating the water until it achieves oxygen/carbon dioxide equilibrium.ģ. NOTE: To prepare small quantities, use 1/2 cup of Instant Ocean per each U.S. Mix Instant Ocean® with ordinary dechlorinated tap or purified water. _widgetsettings, local_storage_support_test Twitter International Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07, Ireland _osm_location, _osm_session, _osm_totp_token, _osm_welcome, _pk_id., _pk_ref., _pk_ses., qos_token Openstreetmap Foundation, St John’s Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge CB4 0WS, United Kingdom Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland In contrary to most other offered products available on the market, hw® Mineral salt mixes do not cause or provoke any ion displacements in marine water. With the hw® Mineral salt mixes you get the possibility to counteract mineral deficits without facing the negative effects of ion displacements in your reef tank. A permanent and steadily increasing ion displacement is a total unnatural procedure which will lead to corresponding reactions of the affected system. Minor fluctuations in the salinity would be tolerated in a reef tank similar like the seasonal fluctuations (monsoon rain in reef regions for example) in the reef regions. Even this effect could be only reported if there was no normal water changes made over all this time period.Īn increasing of the salinity, provoked by this effect could be normally compensated by simply replacing a few liters of the aquarium water with freshwater. This rising up of the NaCl will take a long time period (several month) till it will be noticed by an slowly increase of the density/specific gravity/salinity of the water. The simplified end result would be in this way simple NaCl sodium chloride. The same will happened with the added Magnesium chloride… the chloride will remain.Īfter several month the chloride ions will accumulate more and more in your Aquarium (by the periodical water changes you will always only remove a proportional part of the accumulated chlorides).Ī component has to be added to „donate“ sodium ions for the over boarding amount of remaining chloride ions. This will simple caused by the fact, that after the marine life forms has adsorbed for example the Calcium ion, the Chloride ion will still remain (remember you has added Calcium chloride to elevate the Ca-level). In short terms this always better than nothing but over longer time it will come to a heavy displacement of ion balance of the aquarium water. Mostly it would be intended to too prevent such situation by adding simple salts like Calcium chloride and Magnesium chloride to the aquarium.

One of the consequences would be that the corals would stop there growth and to degenerate in their growth forms, which can lead in some cases up to seriously damages in the organic tissue culminating in a complete die back of the coral.
