AquaCare Mineral Salt

- for harden up soft water and 
for supplying essential minerals in sea water -

Hardens up the Water and encreases the Mineral Concentration

The AquaCare Mineral Salt is used to harden up soft water, e.g. R.O. water. For soft water aquaria like Amazonian tanks a minimum of hardness is useful. With this Mineral Salt it is possible to bring hardness and important minerals into the very poor R.O. water. If you need higher degrees of hardness and a higher pH value you can dose more of the salt. Fishes of the East African sees like Tanganyika and Malawi has ideal conditions with the combination of R.O. water and AquaCare Mineral salt: the pH is over 7 and stable and additionally the salt concentration is higher.

For sea water aquaria you can use the AquaCare Mineral Salt to bring minerals into the aquarium instead of a chalk reactor. If you use the solutions V1 (KH-plus) and V2 (Calcium-plus) in high amounts you can prevent the changing of the salt water composition if you use the Mineral Salt, too.

The AquaCare Mineral Salt contains following substances

Borax, Calcium, Carbonate, Chloride (less), Hydrogen Carbonate, Hydroxid, Potassium, Magnesium, Sodium (less), Sulphate. 

20 grams (approximal. 2 tea spoons) AquaCare Mineral Salt to 100 litres (25 US gallons) water* raises following values:

* this is for Reverse Osmosis water at 25°C. If the water is colder or if you use very high dosing of the Mineral Salt some substance will not dissolve totally. The precipitates are not harmful for animal, plant and micro organisms. The pH will change in the aquarium because natural biological processes like plants growth and filter bacteria will occur.
