MIXING SALT WATER
Can I add salt crystals directly to my aquarium to raise the salinity?
• No! Adding salt crystals or concentrated saltwater directly to your
aquarium will harm the jellyfish.
Do I need to worry about my aquarium water evaporating?
• As long as you follow the water change schedule, evaporation will be
minimal. Also, because our jellyfish aquariums have lids, evaporation
between weekly water changes is not a major issue. As a result, the
water level and salinity of Jellyfish Art aquariums tend to stay very
stable.
• Remember, when water evaporates, salt stays behind – which will raise
salinity. For this reason, it is advised to check your aquarium’s salinity
prior to doing any water changes to ensure similar salinities.
What type of salt do I use to make the correct salt water?
• We recommend using our pre-packaged Jelly Salt for your weekly
water changes available at Jellyfishart.com. Jellyfish Art’s salt comes
conveniently weighed out in 1, 2, or 5 gallon proportions to help take the
“guesswork” out of mixing saltwater of the desired salinity.
• Be sure the aquarium salt you use is for saltwater aquariums, not
freshwater aquariums. Using natural seawater from the ocean can be
very harmful.
• Do not use “sea salt” intended for cooking as this does not have the
right mix of ions needed to match sea water.
• If you purchase pre-mixed salt water from a pet store: Be sure to ask
them to check the salinity for you before leaving to ensure you do not
need to adjust this at a later time. Be sure they do not use tap water
when mixing. Jellyfish Art is not liable for water used from external
sources resulting in injury.
How do I adjust pre-mixed saltwater if the salinity is too high or low?
• Salinity lower than 28ppt can be raised by adding more salt to the mix of
saltwater over time.
Never add salt directly to your aquarium
.
• Salinity higher than 33ppt can be lowered by adding some Reverse
Osmosis (RO) or Distilled fresh water to the saltwater mix.
