About Blue Treasure

Blue Treasure is one of the most respected marine aquarium brands in the world today. Reef keepers in India and across the globe trust Blue Treasure salt to build healthy saltwater tanks and keep corals thriving for years. At Ocean Paws we stock genuine Blue Treasure products so you always get the real formula that reef hobbyists have relied on since 1996.

The brand is manufactured by Qingdao Sea Salt Aquarium Technology Co. Ltd. based in Qingdao China. The formula was developed in direct partnership with researchers at the Ocean University of China. Every product in the Blue Treasure range is backed by marine science and real world testing rather than marketing promises.

Blue Treasure holds ISO 9001 international quality certification. This means every batch goes through strict quality checks before it reaches your tank. The brand has also earned the titles of Famous Brand in China and National Quality and Credit Assurance Enterprise. Reef keepers in the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and New Zealand all use Blue Treasure regularly.

What Makes Blue Treasure Different

The sodium chloride used in every Blue Treasure product comes from deep underground brine reserves in the Bohai Bay and Huanghai Bay regions of China. These underground sources are completely free from coastal pollution. This is why Blue Treasure salt contains zero nitrates, zero phosphates and zero silicates straight out of the bag.

Many sea salts sourced from coastal or surface water carry elevated phosphates and nitrates. These compounds feed algae and suppress coral growth. Blue Treasure removes this problem entirely by using only pure underground brine as its base raw material.

The formula also contains a complete range of trace elements that match the composition of natural ocean water. Food grade vitamins and protective colloids are added to support the immune system of your fish, corals and invertebrates. The result is a salt mix that works as closely to real ocean water as any synthetic formula can achieve.

Blue Treasure Reef Salt

Blue Treasure Reef Salt is the core product of the range and the starting point for most Indian reef keepers. It is formulated for mixed reef tanks that house soft corals, large polyp stony corals and a variety of marine fish. The calcium and magnesium levels are set higher than natural seawater to account for the daily uptake by corals and other calcifying organisms.

The salt dissolves quickly and completely in RO water. There is no cloudy residue and no undissolved clumps left at the bottom of your mixing container. This matters a great deal when you are preparing large water volumes for a full system setup or a big weekly water change.

To mix Blue Treasure Reef Salt correctly, dissolve one kilogram of salt in 28.5 litres of reverse osmosis or RODI water. Mix at a water temperature between 23 and 25 degrees Celsius. The target specific gravity of the prepared saltwater should read between 1.024 and 1.026. Always use a calibrated refractometer to check salinity before adding the water to your tank.

Blue Treasure Reef Salt is available at Ocean Paws in sizes suited to small nano reef setups as well as larger display tanks. We recommend this salt for any Indian reef keeper who wants stable water parameters from day one.

Blue Treasure Calcium Sand

Blue Treasure Calcium Sand is a natural aragonite substrate sourced from pollution free zones. Aragonite is the ideal sandbed material for marine and reef aquariums. Its main composition is calcium carbonate which is the same mineral found in living coral skeletons and shells.

As aragonite sand sits in your tank over time it slowly dissolves and releases calcium and carbonate ions into the water column. This buffering action helps maintain your pH and alkalinity levels in a natural and gradual way. It reduces the chance of sudden pH crashes that can stress or kill sensitive corals and invertebrates.

Blue Treasure Calcium Sand also gives beneficial bacteria a large surface area to colonise. A well populated sandbed is one of the most powerful biological filters in any marine system. The sand works equally well in freshwater cichlid tanks that require elevated pH and hardness.

We stock Blue Treasure Calcium Sand at Ocean Paws in the grain sizes that work best for Indian reef tank setups. The sand rinses clean quickly and settles fast once placed in the aquarium.

How to Get the Best Results with Blue Treasure Salt

Good reef keeping comes down to consistency. Replace ten percent of your total tank volume every week using freshly prepared Blue Treasure salt water. Regular small water changes replenish trace elements and dilute waste products more effectively than large infrequent changes.

Always aerate and circulate your freshly mixed saltwater for at least one hour before adding it to your display tank. This allows the pH to stabilise and dissolved oxygen levels to rise to a safe range. Never add uncirculated salt mix directly to a running reef system.

Test your calcium, magnesium and alkalinity at least once a week. Blue Treasure Reef Salt starts very close to ideal reef chemistry parameters. As your corals grow they consume calcium and alkalinity at increasing rates. Tracking these values every week lets you identify trends early and correct them before any coral stress occurs.

No. Blue Treasure salt is made from pure underground brine that is free from coastal contamination. The finished product contains zero detectable nitrates and zero phosphates when mixed as directed.

What water should I use to mix Blue Treasure salt?

Always use reverse osmosis water or RODI water to mix Blue Treasure salt. Tap water contains chlorine, chloramines and phosphates that will compromise the formula and introduce unwanted nutrients into your reef system.

What is Blue Treasure Calcium Sand made of?

Blue Treasure Calcium Sand is natural aragonite, which is a form of calcium carbonate. It is sourced from pollution free zones and is safe for all marine fish, corals, invertebrates and freshwater fish that require hard water conditions.
