Polish reef care brand Aquaforest has expanded its salt portfolio to include two new recipes. Sea Salt, Reef Salt, and Probiotic Salt are now joined by Reef Salt +, a synthetic salt with elevated parameters, and the all-singing, all-dancing Hybrid Pro Salt, which contains actual flakes of sea salt as part of its complex, otherwise synthetic makeup.
传统上,珊瑚礁水族馆盐是通过两种方式之一制成的,从内陆开采的干原材料,混合在一起合成食谱, or from evaporating actual seawater, leaving the dry elemental mix behind, ready for rehydration by the user. Both methods are popular, used worldwide, and proven hundreds of thousands of times over. As here, evaporative salts are often massively oversimplified in their description as if you just evaporate seawater you will in theory also get dead algae, bacteria, and other organisms left behind. But you don’t.
And if you take existing Red Sea andD-D蒸发盐它们来自同一源海水,但有四种不同的食谱,因此,在到达水桶和您的水箱之前,不仅有一些修补和净化。而且,如果您使用合成或蒸发食谱对礁石坦克进行百事可乐挑战,那么您很可能会失败,并且确实会产生史诗般的结果。
A synthetic foundation
Up until this point, Aquaforest’s three salts have been firmly sat in the synthetic salt camp, that is until now. After ICP testing the water from reefs in Egypt, Indonesia, Kenya, and Fiji, Aquaforest has again produced another probiotic salt to aid nutrient control but this time they’ve also added amino acids to the synthetic mix, elevated its levels of Iodine and Strontium, and flakes of actual sea salt from evaporated seawater to produce a salt which Aquaforest says is almost identical to natural seawater. They themselves admit that reef tanks running on natural seawater can also work, so they’ve combined synthetic salt, evaporative salt, and the Probiotics they’re known for into one homogeneous mix.
But they haven’t stopped there as at the same time they’ve developed a stand-alone elevated synthetic salt called Reef Salt +. Buy into theAquaforest珊瑚染色方法和关于克雷亚ting parameters that are similar to natural seawater, then lowering nutrients with probiotic bacteria, Balling Method-based dosing, and the use of amino acids, vitamins, and individual elements to enhance coral color. But with Reef Salt + they’ve broken from tradition and produced a synthetic salt with way higher values than natural seawater, yielding a dKH of 11.8, Calcium of 459mg/l, and a Magnesium level of 1427mg/l when mixed to 35 ppt. This says Aquaforest is for reefkeepers who want to maintain parameter depleting hard corals but who don’t want the hassle of dosing microelements and just want to do regular water changes instead. Elevated KH, calcium, and magnesium levels can therefore be depleted quite a bit before they become low enough to be inhospitable for corals. Bouncing Alkalinity levels are not recommended either.
选择哪个
因此,Aquaforest现在有只有鱼类的盐,礁石,益生菌盐,升高的合成礁盐和混合礁盐。他们产生了一个现成的混合合成海水,也称为AF Perfect Water,现在盐水组合中唯一缺少的水是一种完整的蒸发盐。
一些礁石(和零售商)可能会质疑这是否太多了,哪个是平均混合礁的平均冷藏夹。从经验来看,益生菌的强大特性并不适合所有人,最好留给顽固的Acro爱好者,他们选择走紧绳索并瞄准超低营养素。并且要真正测试转换为另一种盐的好处,将需要几个月的测试和观察,同时删除所有其他变量。对于许多人来说,最受欢迎的选择是他们的普通礁盐。但是,在混合盐中加入的添加表明,当您拥有自己的盐工厂,自己的ICP-OES实验室,定期去珊瑚礁和一些想象力时,这些益生菌盐的先驱者可以从这些益生菌盐的先驱者那里有什么可能。
拟议的定价为81.90欧元/$ 88.90的混合盐盐,礁石盐 +的价格为77.90欧元/$ 84.55。像其他三种Aquaforest盐一样,这两个新食谱都将进行ICP-OES批次测试,并以22kg/48.5磅的桶为单独。
