- directions
- Mixed freshwater fish normally require 160 to 230 ppm TDS or 3 to 6 degrees GH. Consult a book for the correct TDS (total dissolved solids) and GH for the type of fish you are keeping. You should measure both TDS & GH, because GH only measures hardness ions such as calcium and magnesium and misses monovalent ions, while TDS measures all ions in solution. This product will raise GH more than it will raise TDS and Reconstitute RO will raise TDS more than it will raise GH. Using the two, you can raise each independently, if desired. Consult our website for more details. Also adjust KH as necessary, using Flora Viv KH+. Next adjust pH using the appropriate products, if necessary. Caution: Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption. If ingested drink water, contact a poison control center. If in eyes flush with water.

Works well but be patient when dissolving
Takes about a day to fully dissolve if you just throw it straight into the water, but it definitely works. If you need it to dissolve quickly you can first mix it into some warmer up tank water before dumping that into the tank. For the most convenience you might want a lab hot plate bar mixer. I haven't witnessed a difference in the health of my shrimp or snails yet because I just used it yesterday but my GH went from 3 to 6, my tds went from 114 to 200, and my pH went from 7.4 to 7.8 after a single dose of 2 grams in a ten gallon tank. Be mindful of your pH when using this stuff because it will raise it. Read more
Mixes clean and on par with dosage instructions.
I highly recommend this for your GH additive. Mixes very cleanly unlike equilibrium. No sediment noticed. Dosing 1g per 5 gallons gets you to 3 GH in RODI water. I miss that into 1L of tank or clean water and add. Read more
Shrimps and snailies happy, I'm happy
Works great! I have a 5 and a 75 gallon fully planted and didn't even need that much! Theres so much too. Shrimps are alive and breeding in the 5 and it's great. Water here has almost no mineral so they would have died quickly without this! Just make sure to get a test kit with it too. Read more

The product does not really dissolve in water using cold/hot water. When using hot water, the product still leaves behind small clumps of the minerals. It could be a faulty product or the product in general because minerals have to be dissolved. I will update this review if I find a different way to thoroughly dissolve the product. Read more
