Complete artificial seawater salt blend with an ionic composition corresponding to Red Sea values at S=40, mixing to a final salinity value of 40.1. Values of major ions and select minor and trace ions (specifically, those not considered by researchers to be phytotoxic and which exhibit a nutrient-type depth profile in open oceanic waters) correspond to Red Sea average values (S=40). Clean; no residue in mixing vessels.
Formul8 salt blends consist of four components:
- Component 1, NaCl, ≥99.5% purity, free of any additives including anti-caking agents. User may source this material locally in order to save on overall cost. In North America, three commonly available examples are: Morton Purex (not TFC Purex, which contains Sodium ferrocyanide as an anti-caking agent); Cargill Hi-Grade Granulated; U.S. Salt Superior General Purpose. These products meet Food Chemical Codex (FCC) standards, and are available from regional suppliers in pallet quantities of 49 bags (50 lbs. each).
- Component 2, MgSO4 | 7 (H2O) (aka Epsom salt), USP-grade, free of any additives including anti-caking agents. User may source this material locally in order to save on overall cost. Any brand of material meeting these specifications is suitable.
- Component 3, one of the two solution blends required.
- Component 4, the other of the two solution blends required.
There are three purchasing options available:
- 1 - 4, the complete mix;
- 2 - 4, requiring that the user supply their own suitable NaCl (Component 1);
- 3 - 4, requiring that the user supply their own suitable NaCl and MgSO4 | 7 (H2O) (Components 1 and 2, respectively).
If sourcing Components 1 and/or 2, then please note that per 80-gallon mix of this salt blend, the following quantities are required:
- Component 1: 21.872 lbs. (9,900.486 g)
- Component 2: 5.535 lbs. (2,510.573 g)
