Nyos® PURE® | The Definitive Pharmaceutical Salt Guide

Nyos® PURE® sets a new standard for salt water preparation. While traditional salts are often harvested from the sea and then "corrected," PURE® is built from the ground up using ultra-pure ingredients to ensure your reef starts with a perfect, contaminant-free foundation.

Key Features of Nyos® PURE®

Ultra-Pure Pharmaceutical Ingredients

• Medical Standards: Utilizes sodium chloride and mineral compounds cleaned in a multi-step process, meeting the standards for medical technology and dialysis.

• Low Contaminants: Pharmaceutical purity results in significantly lower concentrations of unwanted substances like manganese, copper, and aluminum compared to evaporated sea salts.

• Zero Organic Additives: Contains no organic additives that might unintentionally promote the growth of algae or cyanobacteria.

Quick Solubility and Immediate Use

• 5-Minute Dissolution: At room temperature, PURE® dissolves into a crystal-clear solution in roughly five minutes.

• No "Maturation" Needed: High purity eliminates the need to wait for contaminants to precipitate. Freshly prepared water can be used in minutes.

• Clean Mixing: Leaves virtually no insoluble particles or brown residue, keeping your mixing containers clean for much longer periods.

Batch Consistency & Transparency

• Proprietary Mixing: A specialized method prevents particle separation, ensuring the mineral levels at the bottom of the bucket are identical to those at the top.

• ICP Batch Control: Every bucket features a QR code on the lid. Scan it to see the exact ICP-OES laboratory analysis for your specific batch.

Target Levels (at 35ppt Salinity)

Frequently Asked Questions

How much salt do I need to reach 35ppt salinity?

Approximately 39–40 grams of Nyos® PURE® per 1 liter of RO/DI water will reach a salinity of 35ppt. Always verify with a calibrated refractometer or digital salinity meter.

Can I use Nyos® PURE® for large emergency water changes?

Yes. Because of its pharmaceutical purity and lack of irritants, PURE® is ideal for large water changes (up to 50%) in the event of aquarium problems, as it does not require a long aeration period before use.

Why is my salt dissolving so much faster than other brands?

Standard salts often contain insoluble impurities or contaminants that require time and high-flow aeration to settle or dissolve. Because PURE® uses pharmaceutical-grade minerals, the dissolution is nearly instantaneous and chemically "clean."

How does this salt affect coral polyp expansion?

Long-term testing indicates that the absence of metallic contaminants leads to significantly improved polyp expansion in SPS and LPS corals. Users often report sharper color delineation and faster formation of growth tips in sensitive species like Acropora.
