Description
Xepta Balanced Reef Salt is a blend of salts that presents unique characteristics in the marine salt market as it is a bi-component salt. Studies and research aimed at achieving ionically balanced salt and uniform composition across all batches and buckets have resulted in Xepta Balanced Reef Salt, which has been formulated to accurately mimic the natural marine environment of coral reefs.
True to our quality standards, all the reagents comprising this salt are pharmaceutical grade (Ph. Eur, USP) or analytical grade (ACS) certified, ensuring the absence of toxic components that are unnecessary, as often found in evaporated seawater salts. The quality of the reagents we work with also ensures the absence of ammonia, nitrates, and phosphates. Therefore, we can find a chemically pure and concentrated salt with a moisture percentage of less than 0.5%, producing a larger volume of water with less quantity.
Why is Xepta Balanced Reef Salt a bi-component salt? In order to ensure the presence of all elements in every mix we make, we have separated the major elements from the traces. Our salt is manufactured in our facilities.
Ensuring a uniform composition in a salt is crucial for maintaining chemical stability of the water at all times. With Xepta Balanced Reef Salt, we will have a salt to perform water changes and maintain parameters consistent with those in our aquarium. Any sudden changes in the water’s chemical conditions affect all the chemical processes occurring within our aquarium, disrupting the system’s balance and preventing corals from displaying their full potential. Therefore, Xepta Reef has developed a salt capable of creating a natural marine environment with the proportion of elements found in nature.
The ranges of values that we can find for the major elements are:
| Density | 33ppt |
| Calcium | 420-440 ppm |
| Magnesium | 1320-1350 ppm |
| KH | 7,9-8,5 dKH |
| Potasium | 390-410 ppm |
| Bromine | 60-70 ppm |
| Boron | 24-26 ppm |
| Strontium | 8,5-9 ppm |
| Iodine | 0,05-0,06 ppm |
