Natural seawater

For perfect quality, the natural seawater we use and sell is collected at a depth off the coast of France by an authorised pumping station. The water is constantly filtered during storage and is constantly tested to monitor its quality and ensure that it is not polluted.

Under these conditions, the use of natural seawater only has advantages:

• Live zooplankton and phytoplankton to feed your coral.
• Bacteria.
• Unlike the use of salt, no preparation or mixture is required.
• Contains all trace elements required to maintain difficult species, such as Goniopora and Alveopora.
• The polyps of our corals will be more open.
• Promotes successful reproduction of some shrimp and fish larvae.

The natural seawater we sell is ready for use.
