About Aquafin
It has been a long and difficult journey but we are here to stay. My name is Robin Finch and I have been maintaining and researching marine life support systems for most of my life. More than 10 years ago I realised the necessity for a top grade synthetic reef Salt formulation that could be added to Reverse osmosis water to create the perfect balance of natural unpolluted sea water with all the elements needed to support the most delicate of marine life forms.
I have noted and utilized many similar products on the market and have found them to be either very poor or fantastic and prohibitively expensive.
Neither will do for the sustainable long term support of captive sea life and the future of reef aquaculture. Our formulation is different and completely natural - ORGANIC.
Understanding a good Salt is a mind altering requirement when compared to conventional products where the primary ingredient is making money.
We have been indoctrinated by large scale international brands to believe that a good quality salt has great packaging, with an almost refined table salt look with additives to ensure free flowing convenience, quick dissolving characteristics and extended shelf life!!!!
This is obscuring the truth of what is really required to sustain delicate corals invertebrates and fish.
Our reef salt is as complex as nature intended it to be. It mixes rich to almost saturation point where the water column is filled with elements to the point where our product is murky. Don't be fooled the life it is intended for thrive on this and all is almost completely absorbed within the first few hours of a water change. You will actually see the difference and note the value when it comes to health and vitality of the life it supports.
