FAQs
How much salt should I use per gallon?
Follow the mixing instructions on the packaging to achieve a salinity of 35 ppt (parts per thousand).
How often should I perform water changes?
Regular water changes of 10-20% per month are recommended, but this can vary based on your tank's bioload.
Can I mix this salt with other salt brands?
It is generally not recommended to mix different salt brands. Stick to a single brand for consistency.
What is the shelf life of Aquaforest Hybrid Pro Salt?
When stored properly in a sealed container, the salt should remain viable for several years. Always store in a dry place and avoid exposure to moisture.
Why is the probiotic component important?
The probiotic component helps establish a more natural and balanced ecosystem in your reef tank, promoting beneficial bacteria and reducing the need for some chemical additives.
How do I measure salinity?
Use a calibrated refractometer for accurate salinity readings.
What if my corals are still not doing well?
Check your lighting, flow, and other water parameters. Consider testing for specific trace elements and consult with other aquarists or reefing experts.
Troubleshooting
Cloudy water after mixing.
Ensure proper aeration after mixing and allow time for the cloudiness to clear. Check for undissolved salt.

Check water parameters (alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, etc.) and make necessary adjustments. Ensure adequate lighting and flow.
