Marine Salt Mixture

The Salt For The Purest Sea Water.

Tropic Marin sea salt is manufactured from pharmaceutically pure salts and is based upon the most recent scientific analysis of the tropical oceans. It is free from synthetic additives and contains no nitrates, phosphates or silicates. Tropic Marin Sea Salt turns fresh water into salt water, which is practically indistinguishable from natural seawater.

The Salt With The True-To-Life Trace Elements.

Tropic Marin Sea Salt contains all 70 trace elements in the natural concentrations of the ocean. No more, no less. Because of the unique application of the mixed salt crystals, the trace elements remain completely usable in the water. This method prevents the otherwise frequent precipitation of the trace elements and provides the organisms with the elements without chelates and in a biological form, which is directly usable by them. Only Tropic Marin has this unique «mixed crystal» technology.

Expert Testset

Tropic Marin Expert-Testset

For the determination of vital water values in seawater aquaria.

This set contains important tests for a fast and accurate determination of specific water values, which have a decisive effect on the well being of fish and invertebrates in seawater aquaria.

Content:

  • pH-Test: Test results in the relevant scale are in intervals of 0.2 pH-units, sufficient for approx. 100 tests.
  • KH/Alkalinity-Test: Results made visible by a strong colour change. Sufficient for approx. 100 tests.
  • Nitrite-Test: Test range from 0.01 to 2 mg /l (nitrite). Sufficient for approx. 20 tests.
  • Nitrate-Test: Test range from 1 to 100 mg/l (nitrate). sufficient Sufficient for approx. 20 tests.
  • Ammonia/Ammonium-Test: Test range from 0.1. to 5 mg/l. Sufficient for approx. 30 tests.

 

 

Bio Calcium

Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium

Enables the addition of biologically ideal calcium to the reef aquarium:

All calcareous animals, especially corals need calcium and carbonates to grow and flourish. However the growth rate of corals depends mostly on the zooxanthellae (algae) that live symbiotically within them. These algae present the coral with precious carbohydrates of their own metabolism. As they photosynthesize, they use carbon dioxide from the water, which enables the coral to precipitate calcium carbonate in its skeleton. Only when calcium and carbon dioxide are available together can this symbiotic relationship work. Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium is the ideal source of both calcium carbonate for the corals and carbon dioxide for the zooxanthellae.

Many calcium supplements add undesirable by-products to the water, or like Kalkwasser, influence pH. When Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium is dissolved in the aquarium, all 70 trace elements are added and no unnatural by-products are formed. Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium will not alter the pH level if used in accordance with the instructions.

Natural sea water contains on average 400-410 ppm of calcium and is typically saturated at this level. It is important not to exceed 450 ppm, as super saturation can result in the calcium surplus precipitating out of the solution, taking desirable trace elements with it. We recommend the use of a Tropic Marin calcium test kit and Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium to ensure these proper calcium levels.

 

 


Reef Rock

Natural Looking decorations in an aquarium are more important to our aquarium in habitants than most people know. Many fish and invertibrates require adequate shelter to feel secure. In fact, normal behaviours are seldom observed without the addition of aquascaping materials. Take time to learn what type of environment your animals came from and do your best to include substrate, rock, and plants as needed to duplicate that habitat. Not only will a natural looking aquarium be pleased to your eyes but you will be rewarded with normal behaviours, often only seen in the wild.

A great addition to fish or reef tanks. Actual petrified coral! Reef Rock retains excellent coral texture and is ideal for use as an economical base rock on which to attach invertibrates such as anemones, soft and hard corals, etc. Clean and pure, not bleached or chemically treated.
