Seachem Brackish Salt 300 g – Brackish Aquarium Salt
Seachem Brackish Salt 300 g is a mineral salt blend made for brackish aquariums and fish that require low to moderate salinity. It can be used when setting up or maintaining aquariums for compatible brackish species such as mollies, gobies, puffers, monos, scats, and archerfish.
Brackish aquariums are not the same as standard freshwater aquariums or full marine reef systems. Salinity should be adjusted gradually and monitored with a reliable hydrometer or refractometer based on the needs of the species being kept.

Brackish Aquarium Tips
- Research the salinity needs of each species before setup
- Dissolve salt completely before adding prepared water to the aquarium
- Increase salinity gradually when converting a freshwater setup to brackish
- Use a hydrometer or refractometer to monitor salinity
- Do not guess dosage without testing
- Top off evaporation with freshwater, not salted water
- Use brackish salt only for species that require or tolerate brackish conditions
Important Salinity Note
Brackish fish do not all require the same salinity. Some species prefer very light brackish water, while others may need higher salinity as they grow. Always research the species being kept and adjust gradually.
Seachem Brackish Salt is not intended to replace full marine reef salt for reef aquariums, and it should not be added to freshwater-only aquariums unless the livestock and setup specifically require brackish conditions.

This product is intended for brackish aquariums. Do not use it in freshwater-only aquariums unless the species being kept specifically requires brackish conditions.
Can this be used for reef aquariums?
No. Seachem Brackish Salt is not a replacement for full marine reef salt. Use a marine salt mix designed for reef aquariums when maintaining reef systems.
Does Seachem Brackish Salt raise pH?
It may influence water chemistry depending on dose, source water, and aquarium conditions. Test pH, hardness, and salinity regularly when maintaining brackish aquariums.
