We are pleased to announce we are using Salinity .

It should be a welcome addition to The Aquavitro Line. This is a great line you should try if you want to simply your reef tanks and fish while watching them thrive. Simply put this is some of the best work Srachem has ever done. I am proud to support them. This line lives up to everything it claims and we have added all the larger size chemicals as well. Remember if you are using Salinty at 1.022 the 220 galloon bucket will make 300 gallons of water so it is a great value for a premium salt

Salinity

salinity™ is a blend of salts specifically formulated for the reef aquarium that contains all essential major, minor, and trace components found in natural reef waters, but contains no toxic or non-essential components. Additionally, salinity™ is the most concentrated salt blend on the market. With a hydration level of <0.5% salinity™ will yield a greater volume of prepared saltwater at a salinity of 35‰ per unit of weight than any other salt mix currently on the market.
salinity™ is identical to the distribution of anions and cations found in Natural Sea Water (NSW). We have compiled data from all the oceans and seas on the Earth, and have targeted the midpoint of the range for each element. We guarantee to be within ± 3% of the midpoint. For example, at a salinity of 35‰, for calcium, magnesium, and strontium, we have the following targets and ranges.

Calcium: target 422 mg/L, range 409 to 435 mg/L
Magnesium: target 1336 mg/L, range 1296 to 1376 mg/L
Strontium: target 8.4 mg/L, range 8.1 to 8.7 mg/L

Alkalinity and pH values vary widely over the Earth’s oceans. salinity™ will be within the following ranges:
pH: 8.4 to 8.6
Alkalinity: 3.2 to 3.8 meq/L


1. Mix salinity™ with dechlorinated tap or purified water. We recommend the use of a commercial dechlorinator like alpha™ or AquaLife Complete to neutralize any tap water chlorine and/or chloramines. If source water quality is poor we recommend purification with a RO/DI system.
To prepare small quantities, bring 35 grams of salinity™ up to a volume of 1 liter, or add 36.27 grams to 1 liter of water. [This is a little less than ? cup of salt per US gallon of water. For 15 gallons use 7 cups of salinity™.]
2. Stir well to ensure a good mix. Although the salinity™ solution may be used immediately, we suggest mixing for approximately 24 hours to achieve oxygen/carbon dioxide equilibrium.
3. Measure the salinity. We recommend a salinity of 35‰. If you are using a temperature compensated refractometer, this will be a density of 1.0260 kg/L. There are tables available that convert specific gravity to density, and density to salinity, but we find the following formula will yield a value for S (salinity) accurate to within 1%:
S = [0.3348 * T] + [1325 * H] - 1330.4525
where S is the salinity in parts per thousand; T is temperature in degrees centigrade (range of 13-30 °C); and H is the uncorrected hydrometer reading for a hydrometer calibrated at 15.56 °C (60 °F). If you don’t mind an error on the order of ±3%, simply use the following table:
If the water temperature is:
degrees C
degrees F
then target H=
13 – 15
55 – 59
1.027
16 – 19
60 – 66
1.026
20 – 23
67 – 73
1.025
24 – 27
74 – 81
1.024
28 – 30
82 – 86

1.023
4. Adjust salt level accordingly. If salinity is too low, then add more salinity™. If too high, add more water.
5. Change 20% of aquarium water every two weeks (or as necessary) to maintain optimum water quality.
USAGE NOTE:
NEVER mix salt in an aquarium containing livestock. Transfer livestock to the aquarium AFTER salt is completely mixed and specific gravity has been adjusted. Use Seachem’s Stability® to avoid “new tank syndrome” and to prevent unnecessary livestock losses in a new system.
CAUTION: SALINITY™ IS NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Contact in dry form may cause skin or eye irritation. In case of eye contact, completely flush eye(s) with cool water and seek medical attention.
