Continuum Aquatics Halcyon Marine Reef Salt - 50 Gallon Mix For Reef Aquariums

About This Product

Keep your reef aquarium thriving with Continuum Aquatics Halcyon Marine Reef Salt - this stuff is seriously premium quality! The 50-gallon mix comes in a 14.9 pound bucket that's easy to store and handle. What makes Halcyon special is how it's manufactured in small batches from reagent and pharmaceutical grade ingredients - no natural seawater residues or waste products here. When mixed as directed (about 36 grams per liter), it creates perfect seawater parameters for reef tanks: specific gravity of 1.026, alkalinity at 7.5 dKH, calcium at 415 ppm, and magnesium at 1,290 ppm. These levels are absolutely ideal for stony corals, particularly SPS varieties that can be picky about water chemistry. The mixing process is straightforward - use RO/DI water, add the salt, aerate for optimal results, and always mix in a separate container before adding to your tank. Continuum recommends weekly 10-20% water changes to maintain healthy conditions and export pollutants. Having used various salt mixes over the years, I can honestly say Halcyon provides that consistency and quality that makes reef keeping so much more successful and less stressful. Your corals will definitely show their appreciation with better growth and coloration!
