We are pleased to announce the reef salt favoured by most of the top marine keepers in Europe has now landed and being sold through Bayside corals in SK!!

Tropic Marin Bio Reef Actif is now here!!!!

Read the review!!! Says it all really
http://reefbuilders.com/2010/03/23/t...salt-reviewed/

Give your system the best!


Tropic Marin has spent years researching what is required for optimum coral growth and the health of fish. Its discoveries have led to the development of new products. Combined with certain existing Tropic Marin products, they create a new approach to marine aquariums. Special importance has been given to the decomposition of nutrients by stimulating a healthy microbiological balance and controlling the water chemistry. As a result Bio-Actif provides a nurturing environment which is conducive to growth and is closer to natural conditions for fish and corals than found in any other aquarium system.

Bio-Actif advantages:
Rapid success in coral growth, even for beginners.

Advanced reef aquarists can grow even very challenging and delicate species which have always been regarded as impossible to keep.

Corals which once seemed incompatible because of their different demands in terms of care can be cared for together, with all species enjoying good growth and ideal conditions. Small polyp and large polyp stony corals can be kept together with leather corals, for example, without their combined care being detrimental to either group.

The low-nutrient environment also allows sponges and complex higher-order algae to grow without running wild, adding their own natural and authentic touch to the indoor reef.

Active control of the pH and carbonate hardness is conducive to the sustained growth of corals, calcareous red algae and other calcifying organisms.

Skimming action for the elimination of contaminants and suspended matter provides a permanent solution to cloudiness, allowing the reef aquarium to shine in full clarity in the most vibrant colors.

The revolutionary new synthetic sea salt which combines maximum purity in terms of its components with the protective and growth-promoting action of bioactive substances naturally found in the sea. They form effective protection for the mucous membranes of the fish whose improved health is clearly reflected in their increased levels of mating and reproduction. Corals respond by displaying even brighter and more vibrant colors. The extent to which both stony and leather corals enlarge and open their polyps is unprecedented.

Improved conditions seen in the corals include greater growth and stronger tissue. They build up reserves, which strengthens them and makes them less sensitive to unavoidable fluctuations in their surrounding conditions. At the same time Bio-Actif encourages the breakdown of pollutants in the water which is evident in the brilliant clarity of the water after every change. Regular use of Bio-Actif maintains optimized conditions at a consistent level over the long term.

It is never too early to add Tropic Marin Bio-Actif to the aquarium and, if added when the tank is filled for the first time, it will guarantee healthy microbiological development from the outset and the best possible preparation of the water before the aquarium is stocked with fish and corals. This effect is revived and prolonged each time the water is changed. Changing up to 15% of the water on a weekly basis will sustain the quality of the water at a level which is conducive to the well-being of fish, corals and other invertebrates.

Now what are users saying

fordhater2002 from Baton Rouge, LA
I've been using this salt for almost a year now and I can say that my sps are all more colorful than what they use to be. Great salt.

bayondai from nj
I have only done 2 water changes with this salt and so far so good or should I say great. Everything seems happier and the polyps on my coralsseem to be open more.

jrvega071
love the way bioactif works with protein skimmer to remove harmful waste for a better reef environment.....

Adnuces from Indiana
Mixes clean with no residue. Colors pop and corals love this mix.

Powderbrown from Binghamton, NY
Presently on my second 200 gallon pail of Tropic Marin Bio-Actif and the parameters in the tank are great. Paired with calcium reactor, ca 440, mag 1350, nitrates 0.25; pumps easy to clean. Salt is more expensive than others but well worth it.

I have used every salt on the market, including Seachem Salinity. My corals love Bio Actif within the first few hours of a water change. The water is crystal clear after using this as well.
You can mix this fast and use it within 30 minutes and there is 0 residue. Fish are more active, corals extend further, great salt

Are you using this salt personally now? So far I am impressed with all the reviews I have found, seems to have been in the US for some time, as tropic Marin USA brought it in. Only thing that seems off for me and I thought of it initally I always have a few hundred gallons of spare water sitin around as a just in case water change. From what I have been reading with the doc actually get eaten by bacteria in the bio actif salt after a few days. They recommend mixing and using immediately. I guess I could always just keep the tubs full of warm ro and add the salt as required. I like this salt seems to offer and already use reefers best so not much of an increase in price. Would I be better using just the Tropic Marin regular salt then.

I am using the regular one but adding bio actif manually, my skimmer goes into overdrive!

We will have both the pro and bio actif pro in stock in 14 days, bayside corals has the bio actif reef in stock right now

I believe around $149 for a pail that makes up ~200g.

$149 for a pail? Sweet Jesus, is this stuff made out of panda blood and tiger tears or what?

I'll have to try some, if it ever makes it's way over to Vancouver!
