Hi and welcome back. Fish and invert stock list updated with some new additions.

Red Sea Salt contains biologically balanced, elevated levels of the foundation elements (Calcium, Magnesium, Carbonates) necessary for sustainable, accelerated coral growth. Red Sea Salt is ideal for reef aquariums, in particular for LPS and SPS corals, and for growing coral frags.
Parameters | |
---|---|
Salinity | 35 ppt (1.025 sg) |
Calcium | 415 - 445 ppm |
Magnesium | 1240 - 1320 ppm |
Alkalinity | 7.5 - 8.5 dKH |
Potassium | 375 - 405 ppm |
Red Sea Salt is designed to provide the exact parameters of tropical reef water with a slightly elevated alkalinity as needed in a closed marine system. Red Sea salt is ideal for fish and invertebrate systems or for low-nutrient tanks where the hobbyist supplements all of the individual elements on a regular basis.
Natural seawater includes over 70 chemical elements and although most of the elements influence the water parameters, a few of them have a more significant role in its overall chemical stability.
These elements form the foundation of the reef environment and they include the three major elements: calcium, magnesium and bi-carbonates.
These three ‘foundation elements’ have a major effect on the water chemistry (pH stability, alkalinity, seawater ionic strength) and on many of the coral’s biological processes (skeleton formation, ion- exchange, photosynthesis).
Unlike the natural reef environment, where there is an immense reservoir of the foundation elements, the reef aquarium has limited resources that are quickly depleted by the aquarium inhabitants. Therefore, in order to enable sustainable coral growth it is necessary to maintain higher than natural levels of the foundation elements.
Original research carried out in Red Sea’s laboratory has shown that in a closed system (an aquarium) a specific ratio between the foundation elements of calcium, magnesium and carbonates (alkalinity) is necessary for coral vitality and the formation of a robust aragonite coral skeleton. This ratio must be maintained especially when increasing the levels of the foundation elements above the natural sea levels.

WOW! The owner, George is super knowledgable, friendly, and helpful. The store is stocked with hard to find high quality dry goods for every reef hobbyist. Very competitive prices, and definitely the same or cheaper than what you would find online. Super healthy and beautiful corals and fish. Definitely will be one of my favourite to-go to stores in Winnipeg! Highly recommend!
Awesome customer service great selections and pricing.
Just received my package from @concrete_blonde_corals !! Thank you for your amazing customer service. I can’t wait to try out the PolypLab polyp-booster!
Great selection, tanks always look great. Great prices in store and online. Customer service to back up your tank no matter what the size of tank or budget.
