Model: Instant Ocean Sea Salt for Marine Aquariums, Nitrate & Phosphate-Free

Instant Ocean Sea Salt

Instructions:

1. Mix Instant Ocean® with ordinary dechlorinated tap or purified water.

NOTE: To prepare small quantities, use 1/2 cup of Instant Ocean per each U.S. gallon of water.

Mix as directed.

2. Stir vigorously to ensure a good mix. Although the Instant Ocean solution may be used

immediately, we suggest aerating the water until it achieves oxygen/carbon dioxide equilibrium.

3. Measure specific gravity with an Instant Ocean® Hydrometer.

Recommended Specific Gravity Range: 1.020 - 1.024 at 77°F.

NOTE: 1.5 lbs of Instant Ocean is formulated to create 5 gallons of saltwater at a specific

gravity of 1.022.

4. Adjust salt level accordingly. If specific gravity is too low, add more Instant Ocean. lf too

high, add more dechlorinated water.

5. Change 20% of aquarium water every two weeks to maintain optimum water quality.

USAGE NOTE: NEVER mix salt in an aquarium containing animals.

In New Aquariums:

Transfer animals to the aquarium AFTER salt is completely mixed and aerated and specific

gravity has been adjusted.

CAUTION: INSTANT OCEAN IS NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. KEEP OUT OF

REACH OF CHILDREN.

Contact in dry form may cause skin or eye irritation.

In case of contact, completely flush skin or eye(s)

with cool water and seek medical attention.
