Coral Pro Salt Mix provides the biologically balanced, elevated levels of the foundation elements (Calcium, Magnesium & Carbonates) necessary for sustainable, accelerated growth and enhanced vitality of all corals. BRS recommends using a complete salt mix, to save money and time on testing supplies and major element adjustments.
Three Sizes Available:
- 55 Gallon Mix* - Bucket
- 175 Gallon Mix* - Bucket
- 200 Gallon Mix* - Bulk Sack
*When mixed to 1.021 specific gravity.
Unlike the natural reef environment, which has an immeasurable reservoir of all 57 elements, a reef aquarium is an artificial environment that is constantly affected by coral growth and other ongoing biological processes. Red Sea Coral Pro Salt Mix is the result of years of research. Formulated for use with RO water, the unique Sodium Chloride harvested from the Red Sea Reef contains optimally balanced ratios between calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium. Coral Pro Salt Mix contains elevated levels of these elements for accelerated coral growth.
Coral Pro Salt Mix is designed to provide the biologically balanced, elevated levels of the foundation elements (Calcium, Magnesium & Carbonates) necessary for sustainable, accelerated growth and enhanced vitality of all corals. Coral Pro salt mix is ideal for reef aquariums, in particular for LPS and SPS corals and growing out coral frags. Main parameters at a salinity of 33.0 ppt are: KH - 11.8-12.2 °dKH, Ca - 430 - 450 mg/l, Mg 1280 - 1340 mg/l.

Product Questions
The reason RODI is recommended for mixing saltwater is that it filters out many unwanted dissolved substances from your tap water other than minerals. This is even more important to use pure water for top-off because anything contained in your tap water is left behind as it evaporates. This can lead to a build up of potentially harmful substances like nitrates, phosphates, pesticides etc. It also gives you complete control over your water chemistry since you are not adding unknown amounts of dissolved minerals along with those included in your salt mix.
If it is mixed longer than 4 hours before adding to the tank there is potential for the precipitation to occur. They recommend only mixing as needed before use. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
You can use Red Sea Coral Pro salt with a fish only tank if you wanted to. It does have some elevated elements which you won’t really “need” and does cost a bit more than the standard Red Sea salt.
As of right now we carry the 55 gallon bucket and 175 gallon bucket. We don't yet have the new 175 gallon (48.5 lb) refill bag.

We have had great luck with the Red Sea Coral Pro with the added elements where it has reduced the amount we need to dose for trace and calcium, alkalinity. Another great option we have used is the HW reefer. Both will have added elements to help support more diverse tank. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Ro/DI water is recommended whenever adding water to salt mix to start with pure water. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Its easy to have it mixed and ready to go, but there isn't any chance you can mix it as you need it with most salts. The Red Sea Coral Pro in particular actually recommends that you use it within a few hours of mixing it. Letting it sit won't hurt it, but it will get a little cloudy the longer it sits.
If your just starting a new tank and you don't currently have any corals, then I would suggest using the regular Red Sea Salt. The coral pro salt has elevated levels of calcium and alkalinity that wouldn't be of use without corals in your tank.
