Salt Mixes & Concentrated Seawater | Pure & Near-Natural Solutions

Achieving a stable, natural seawater composition is the most critical factor for a successful marine aquarium. Our collection of premium salts and seawater concentrates is engineered for uncompromising purity and precision. By utilizing pharmaceutical-grade ingredients and lab-backed formulations, these solutions provide the perfect chemical foundation for coral growth, color development, and biological health.

Why Choose High-Purity Solutions?

• No Algae Promotion: These solutions contain no organic additives, preventing the growth of nuisance algae and cyanobacteria.

• Clean Equipment: The absence of insoluble particles means your mixing containers and pumps stay clean for longer, reducing maintenance.

• Problem Solver: High purity allows for large water changes (up to 50%) in emergency situations without the risk of adding new contaminants.

Product Comparison: Nyos® PURE® vs. ATI® Absolute Ocean

Nyos® PURE® | Ultra-Pure Pharmaceutical Salt Mix

Nyos® PURE® is a high-performance salt mix designed to replicate the composition of natural seawater as closely as possible. It is free from the organic contaminants often found in sea salts acquired through simple evaporation.

• Pharmaceutical Purity: Uses sodium chloride cleaned in a multi-step process and medical-grade ingredients. This ensures extremely low concentrations of unwanted heavy metals.

• Instant Solubility: Dissolves into a crystal-clear solution in approximately 5 minutes at room temperature, making it ready for immediate use.

• Total Transparency: Every bucket features a QR code on the lid, allowing you to scan and check the exact ICP batch control values for that specific unit.

• Optimized for Corals: Formulated with near-natural levels (Alk ca. 8.5 dKH, Cal ca. 435 mg/l) to promote superior polyp expansion and color.

ATI® Absolute Ocean | 8.3x Seawater Concentrate

Absolute Ocean represents the next evolutionary step beyond traditional salt mixes. This 8.3x concentrated seawater solution offers unparalleled accuracy and convenience for water changes or new system setups.

• Identical to Nature: Using high-precision ICP laboratory measurements, every major and trace element is adjusted to be virtually identical to natural seawater.

• Unmatched Precision: Even trace elements in the microgram range, such as vanadium, are adjusted to natural values that are difficult to achieve with dry salt mixes.

• Perfect Homogeneity: Because it is a liquid concentrate, there is zero risk of element separation, ensuring 100% consistent water chemistry with every dose.

• Rapid Preparation: Simply dilute with RO/DI water. There is no waiting for solids to dissolve or for the water to "mature."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to wait for Nyos® PURE® to "age" after mixing?

No. Because of its pharmaceutical purity and lack of organic contaminants, you can use Nyos® PURE® as soon as it is dissolved and clear, which typically takes only 5 minutes.

How does ATI® Absolute Ocean ensure accuracy?

Because it is produced in a liquid state, the elements cannot settle or separate like they can in a bucket of dry salt. This ensures that every milliliter of concentrate contains the exact same ratio of elements.

What parameters can I expect with Nyos® PURE®?

At a salinity of 35 PSU, you can typically expect an Alkalinity of approximately 8.5 dKH and Calcium of 435 mg/l, mirroring the optimal levels found on natural reefs.
