OCEAN LOBSTER

Dissolve the necessary amount of salt in water at a temperature of 22-24° C (71-75° F), checking the table, based on the desired density. To obtain optimal water quality free from chlorine and impurities, osmosis-purified water is recommended, because tap water often contains dissolved calcium, magnesium and other minerals that would be added to the levels provided by OCEAN LOBSTER. With the help of a circulation pump, mix until the salt is completely dissolved and the water is crystal clear. This should take between 30 minutes and 2 hours. Never mix for more than 3 hours. Change the water when the pH value has stabilised at 7.5 – 8.5. Caution: When dissolving the salt in water, first pour in the water and then the salt. Otherwise, by adding the salt first and then the water, a highly concentrated solution may be created and could lead to the precipitation of some ingredients. For lobsters (Homarus), we recommend a water temperature of 4° C - 8° C and a density of between 1024-1026; for spiny lobsters (Palinuridae), we recommend a water temperature of 12-15° C and a density of between 1027 and 1029. We recommend a good refractometer for measuring the density of the water. If necessary, add more salt to reach the desired density.Once the salt has dissolved, we recommend changing the water within 5 days to avoid any changes in salinity. To maintain the correct salinity, we suggest keeping the container holding the prepared water closed. Before changing the water, we suggest that you always check its salinity. To maintain the biological balance in the tank, we recommend replacing at least 25% of the water every two to three weeks or more frequently if a very large number of crustaceans are kept. Never mix the salt directly in an aquarium containing crustaceans or fish. Always dissolve the salt in non-toxic plastic or glass containers, without animals. Keep the package tightly closed, in a dry place, away from the light and heat sources.
