Red Sea Coral Pro Salt is a premium reef salt mix created specifically for modern reef aquariums. This high-quality formulation is designed to support fast skeletal growth, vivid colours and long-term health in SPS, LPS and mixed coral systems.
Because red sea coral pro salt is based on natural sea salts and enhanced with carefully balanced foundation elements, it gives your reef tank stable parameters that are easy to maintain. As a result, you can focus more on enjoying your corals and less on chasing fluctuating test results.
The mix is ideal for reef keepers who want reliable results from every water change, whether you run a small home reef or a large coral grow-out system.
Key features and benefits
1. Elevated foundation elements for coral growth
Red Sea Coral Pro Salt is formulated with elevated levels of calcium, magnesium and carbonates. These three foundation elements are essential for strong coral skeletons and healthy coralline algae.
Because the levels are boosted compared to regular marine salt, red sea coral pro reef salt is especially suitable for tanks that are rich in SPS and LPS corals or packed with fast-growing frags.
2. High alkalinity for accelerated growth
This red sea coral pro salt mix is designed with a higher alkalinity range that supports rapid coral growth and stable pH. A stable alkalinity helps corals build skeleton faster, reduces stress and supports good polyp extension.
For reef keepers who want strong growth and frequent fragging, this higher alkalinity profile is a big advantage.
3. Balanced major, minor and trace elements
Besides the three foundation elements, red sea coral pro salt also includes a balanced mix of minor and trace elements. These trace elements help support coral colouration, metabolic processes and overall vitality.
The balance between the foundation elements and the trace elements is carefully designed, so you get a natural-reef style environment in your aquarium.
4. Nitrate- and phosphate-free production
The salt mix is produced to be free from nitrate and phosphate. This is very important in a reef tank, because unwanted nutrients can fuel algae growth and dull coral colours.
With red sea coral pro reef salt, you start every water change with clean, low-nutrient water, so you can keep better control over your nutrient levels.
5. Optimised for RO/DI water
Red Sea Coral Pro Salt is intended for use with RO/DI or very soft water. When you start with pure source water, the salt mix can deliver very consistent parameters from batch to batch.
Because of this, your test results are more predictable, and your dosing strategy becomes easier to manage over time.
6. Fast dissolving and easy to mix
The grains in red sea coral pro salt mix are fine and uniform, which allows them to dissolve quickly when mixed correctly. When you use proper circulation and aeration, the saltwater usually clears in a short period and is ready to use.
This makes regular water changes less of a chore and helps you maintain better stability in your reef system.
Ideal use cases for Red Sea Coral Pro Salt
Red Sea Coral Pro Salt is an excellent choice in the following situations:
-
SPS-dominated reefs where strong growth and thick skeletons are a priority.
-
Mixed reefs containing a blend of SPS, LPS and soft corals that need stable, elevated foundation elements.
-
Coral frag systems and grow-out tanks where frequent cutting and regrowth demand higher levels of calcium, magnesium and alkalinity.
-
Hobbyists using RO/DI water who want consistent, repeatable results at every water change.
If your main goal is coral growth and colour, red sea coral pro salt offers a strong and reliable foundation.
Typical parameters (at standard reef salinity)
When mixed with RO/DI water to natural reef salinity (around 35 ppt / 1.026 specific gravity), Red Sea Coral Pro Salt is designed to give:
-
Stable reef-range pH
-
Elevated alkalinity suitable for high-demand corals
-
High calcium and magnesium levels to support rapid skeletal growth
-
Balanced trace elements that match natural reef water profiles
These target parameters help create an environment where corals can thrive, grow and colour up in a consistent way.
How to use Red Sea Coral Pro Salt
Step 1: Prepare your RO/DI water
First, prepare the required volume of RO/DI water in a clean mixing container. Make sure the container is free from detergents or contaminants. It is best to use a heater and a circulation pump to match the temperature of your display tank and to keep the water moving.
Step 2: Add the salt slowly
While the water is circulating, add red sea coral pro reef salt slowly to the mixing container. Sprinkle the salt in small portions rather than all at once. This helps it dissolve faster and prevents clumps.
As you mix, regularly check the salinity with a reliable refractometer or digital meter. Aim for a salinity close to 35 ppt (1.026 sg) unless your specific system requires a different value.
Step 3: Mix until fully clear
Allow the red sea coral pro salt mix to dissolve completely. With good circulation, the water should turn clear. During this time, avoid adding more salt unless your salinity reading is still low.
Once the water is clear, check pH and temperature to make sure they are close to the values in your display tank. A small difference is fine, but large jumps should be avoided.
Step 4: Perform your water change
When the new saltwater is fully mixed and stable, you can proceed with the water change. Replace the water slowly to prevent sudden shifts in parameters. Consistent, smaller water changes often work better than very large, occasional ones.
Tips for best results
-
Use a reliable refractometer: Calibrate it regularly to get accurate salinity readings.
-
Match temperature and pH: This reduces stress on fish and corals during water changes.
-
Change water regularly: Frequent, smaller changes help keep the benefits of red sea coral pro salt consistent.
-
Monitor key parameters: Test calcium, magnesium and alkalinity on a schedule, and adjust dosing as needed.
-
Store salt properly: Keep the bucket sealed, dry and away from moisture or extreme temperatures.
