For fresh water biotopes the mineral compositon of the raw water is normaly not perfect. Frequently RO technique is used to be sure against harmful substances. In these cases the AquaCare Mineral Salt is easy to dose, creating ideal water conditions. Hardness and alkalinity plus minerals will be in the readily mixed water.
In small sea water aquaria or lime reactor-free systems normally alkalinity and calcium products are used (method after BALLING). Generally these products are dosed with anti-ions - so table salt (NaCl) will be enriched higher than the average, if very less or non water change is done (ion-shifting). With the AquaCare Mineral Salt it is possible to work against this enrichment.
Dosing for fresh water aquaria:
20 g in 100 litres water* raises following parameter:
Total hardness: approx. 3°dH
Carbonate Hardness / alkalinity: approx. 1°dH
Electrical conductivity: approx. 300 µS/cm
pH value: approx. 8.1
* measured with RO water with medium carbon dioxide concentration. The quality of the raw water may change the results dramatically.
We recommend a water change of minium 5% per week.
Dosing for sea water aquaria:
per 10 ml Calcium-plus and KH-plus: 2 tabelespoons Mineral Salz
if Super-Calcium an Super-Buffer are used: take the same amout of Mineral Salz.
We recommend a water change of minium 1% per week.
