Questions & Answers

Answered by real pet keeping experience.

Q How much should I use?
One level scoop — about 2cc — per 5 gallons of RO, DI, or distilled water, added before your water change. Mix it into the fresh water first, so you're always adding fully remineralized water to the tank. The included scoop keeps your dose the same every time.
Q Does this raise both GH and KH?
Yes. It raises general hardness (GH) and carbonate hardness (KH) together in a single step, so you don't need a separate GH mineral and a separate KH buffer. One scoop handles both.
Q What water should I mix it with?
It's made for remineralizing water that's had its minerals stripped out — RO, DI, or distilled. Adding it to your new water before a water change means the tank gets stable, consistent parameters instead of a swing.
Q Is the 3oz size enough for me?
The 3oz jar is a practical starting size for a single tank or a small shrimp room. It's meant to let you dial in your target parameters before committing to a larger quantity, and the resealable jar keeps the blend dry between uses.

Add one level scoop — about 2cc — per five gallons of RO, DI, or distilled water before your water change and it raises both general hardness and carbonate hardness in one step. No separate GH product, no separate KH buffer. The included measuring scoop and resealable jar make dosing consistent every time and keep the mineral blend dry between uses. The 3oz size is a practical starting point for a single tank or a small shrimp room where you want to test your target parameters before committing to a larger quantity.

Most tap water does not have a stable enough mineral profile for neocaridina or caridina shrimp to thrive long term, and RO or distilled water has none at all. Shrimp pull calcium and magnesium directly from the water column to build and harden their exoskeleton at every molt. When those minerals are low or inconsistent between water changes, molts fail — and failed molts are the most common cause of unexplained shrimp deaths in home aquariums. Stable GH and KH also support breeding behavior, egg development, and the vivid color that makes cherry shrimp, blue dream, crystal red, and taiwan bee shrimp worth keeping in the first place.

Dose into fresh water before adding it to the tank rather than directly into the aquarium. Use a GH and KH test kit to dial in your target range for your specific shrimp species — neocaridina generally prefer GH 6 to 8 while caridina targets vary by type. Store with the lid sealed in a cool dry place. Safe for all freshwater shrimp, snails, and invertebrates. Does not affect pH on its own beyond the buffering contribution of the KH component.
