Natural Salt
H2Ocean is a pro formula aquarium salt – produced by a solar evaporative process
which produces a totally natural base salt where all of the main and trace elements are in
complete balance as nature intended.
The pure natural salt is then specially enhanced for aquarium use by elevating specific
elements that over time become depleted, such as calcium and magnesium which are used
by corals and coralline algae for growth.
Its natural origin ensures that the salt contains all 70 main and trace elements in the correct
proportions mixed to a homogeneous blend by nature
Balanced Formula
In nature there is a natural balance between the calcium, alkalinity and magnesium levels.
Many salts are found to be either unnaturally high in calcium or high in alkalinity and
therefore with these salts either extra buffer or extra calcium is required to be added to
return the natural balance.
With H2Ocean Pro+ the calcium and alkalinity are in the correct ratios keeping the ionic
balance in equilibrium with natural levels which is so important for healthy coral growth.
Optimum Chemistry & Low Hydration
The formulation for H2Ocean+ salt has been continually developed by D-D over many
years. The salt is designed to dissolve quickly and easily and to have a specific chemistry
which in our opinion is the optimum formulation to maintain a healthy reef and allow regular
water changes whilst maintaining a natural balance.
H2Ocean Pro+ is a pro formula aquarium salt with a strong reputation for quality
and consistent parameters, producing fantastic results for reef hobbyists around
the world.
Produced by a solar evaporative process, this produces a totally natural base
salt where all of the main and trace elements are in complete balance as
nature intended.
The pure natural salt is then specially enhanced for aquarium use by elevating specific
elements that over time become depleted, such as calcium and magnesium which are used
by corals and coralline algae for growth.
Through improvements in manufacturing we have been able to make our salt even drier
and it is now 3% stronger, which allows you to make up more water per kg of salt and can
be also be used within 30 minutes of mixing.

Calcium and magnesium levels are boosted to replace those that are used up through
coral growth within the aquarium, whereas chloride levels are slightly lowered to
allow post additions of calcium and magnesium chloride with a minimized effect on
the chloride balance.
Low Hydration Salt
H2Ocean Pro+ Formula has an extremely low hydration level compared to many other salts.
This is achieved through production under strictly controlled conditions to prevent water
from the atmosphere from being absorbed into the salt so that kilo for kilo you get more
salt and less water in your pack.
Magnesium Pro Plus Formula
Many salts concentrate on boosting calcium levels and ignore magnesium levels.
Maintenance of the correct magnesium concentration is equally important in a reef
aquarium and will make it much easier to maintain stable calcium, pH and alkalinity.

As the calcium level in H2Ocean+ is already enhanced to 440 mg/l then mixing with hard
tap water which contains additional calcium may raise the concentration above normal
recommended levels and cause the calcium to precipitate out of solution.
RO water removes undesirable ions like phosphate and nitrate from your tap water which
otherwise would contribute to nuisance algae in your aquarium. D-D manufactures a range
of RO units suitable for every tank size.
Measured parameters when correctly mixed to a salinity of 35ppt
Salinity = 35ppt = 1.0264 S.G @ 25c
Mixing & Salinity Measurement
The volume of salt water that can be made from a single bucket of salt will depend on the
final salinity that the salt solution is mixed to. See side of bucket for details.
For a reef aquarium we suggest mixing to a salinity of 35.0 ppt and recommend the use of
the D-D Portable SEAWATER refractometer for accurate and consistent measurement of the
salinity of your salt solution.
The salt should be added to the aquarium when clear and after 30 minutes of mixing.
Extended mixing times can allow the solution to react with CO2 in the atmosphere and can
result in a slight precipitation of calcium carbonate.
