Jan 18, 2023 · Different companies recommend different parameters as optimum. Tropic Marin takes it's lessons from nature (and research). Natural sea water is approximately 6.5 dkH. THAT is the reason that the Pro Reef salt is targeting a 7-8 dkH. If you want to maintain a higher alkalinity than that, I recommend you switch to the Tropic Marin Classic salt mix.

Jun 17, 2012 · WHAT SALT SHOULD I USE. If you have a community reef or a fish only tank with no special requirements and the desired alkalinity range is 9-10 dkH, you should use the Classic Salt Mix. If you have a reef tank with higher calcium requirements and there is a desire to maintain alkalinity in the 6-8 dkH range, you should use the Pro-Reef Salt Mix.

Apr 28, 2013 · You'd have to ask Tropic Marin why they call it "Pro Reef"…the name has misled many a reefer." as you suggested. Reefers get misled when they don't do their homework or call a manufacturer for clarification. I welcome more people asking us why we call that particular salt mix Pro-REEF so we could dispel some of the very bad and misleading ...

Jan 4, 2025 · Just my opinion, I use the TM Pro salt on my mixed reef and I run Alk at 7.7 dKh. From memory I recall TM stated that the TM classic is ideally for fish only reef. I am not sure what in the salt mix makes it suitable for fish. Honestly I find the multiple salt options offered by TM confusing but I like the TM pro salt.

Oct 16, 2021 · I used Fritz to start my tank and for the last 6 years. I didn’t have any issues that really bothered me. Recently I switched to Tropic Marin Pro reef salt and the noticeable difference is insane. My polyp extension is better, growth noticeably faster, salt mixes faster and clearer.m along with a bunch of small improvements I’ve noticed.

Jun 20, 2022 · Tropic Marin's Pro-Reef is the ideal foundation for any new tank from fish only to a full-blown reef tank. When used as your regular salt mix it will help bring better ionic equilibrium to the tank, stabilizing pH and allowing the proper balance of carbonates to bicarbonates, leading to faster overall coral growth.

Mar 19, 2018 · If you combine the Coral Pro with something like Reef Foundation ABC+ (skeletal elements) it can make running a reef tank easy for the novice. I’m currently using the standard blue bucket (my system is nearly 2 years old now) and more normal sea water levels for various reasons but both are excellent salts depending on what your trying to ...

Jan 31, 2022 · As a precautionary measure, we have decided to interrupt the production and distribution of Tropic Marin® Pro-Reef salts, blended in our facility in Turkey, until further notice. Again, this is purely a precautionary measure and has no impact on Tropic Marin® Pro-Reef sea salt produced elsewhere. We deeply regret any inconvenience this has ...

Apr 10, 2009 · Tropic Marin has stated multiple times that Turkey production is halted. Tropic Marin has also stated it is isolated to Pro Reef salt manufactured in Turkey. Germany manufactured Pro Reef salt is fine. Tropic Marin has also said if you own a bucket of Pro Reef with a Turkey label you can request a refund. Use their web portal contact.

Nov 18, 2021 · Hey guys, So I just started making my own RODI and saltwater. I use Red Sea's Coral Pro Reef Mix at 34 ppt. My question is that the instructions on the bucket say that I shouldn't mix the salt for more then 4 hours because it might precipitate. I've also watched the BRS video and they said it...
