Description
xOverview
SaltyShrimp Shrimp Mineral GH/KH+ 200G is a purpose-built remineralizer designed for shrimp keepers who want reliable, neutral water for collection, transport, and stable aquarium conditions. The formula re-mineralises purified waters such as RO water, rainwater, or fully desalinated water, elevating total hardness (dGH) and carbonate hardness (KH) in a controlled ratio of 1.0 dGH to 0.5 KH. This targeted balance mirrors environments where many shrimp thrive, helping aquatic life feel at home from the very first drop.
Key benefits at a glance
- Minimizes guesswork by delivering a clear dGH/KH target to support shrimp health and color development.
- Contains essential minerals and trace elements that shrimp need for well-being, growth, and vibrant coloration.
- Supports plant growth and the microbial regeneration of biofilter substrates, contributing to a balanced tank ecosystem.
- Simple, quick mixing: dissolve in water outside the aquarium and introduce the prepared solution for immediate use.
How it works in real life
In practice, Shrimp Mineral offers a practical path to water prepared for shrimp that originate from habitats with neutral pH. By adjusting dGH and KH in the recommended ratio, hobbyists can create a stable baseline water that may help shrimp display richer colours and robust activity. The product is especially useful when you need to re-create a familiar soft, neutral environment after water changes or during breeding cycles where consistent mineral levels matter.
Usage guidance
- Mix outside the aquarium: dissolve the mineral salt in clean water for rapid uptake.
- Dosage: use about 2 g (one level measuring spoon) per 10 litres of water to reach approximately 6 dGH and ~300 µS conductance.
- Pour the prepared solution into the tank and ensure the undissolved particles enter the water as well.
- Contents: 200 g bottle, enough for up to 1,000 litres of aquarium water when used as directed.
- Storage: close tightly after use to prevent moisture absorption and maintain product quality.
Quality and care
Produced in a German facility with over 25 years of aquaristics expertise, Shrimp Mineral GH/KH+ reflects careful ingredient selection and proven formulation. While the product is designed to enhance remineralization, it works best as part of a consistent maintenance routine and in combination with a balanced feeding plan, regular water checks, and compatible plant life.
Notes for hobbyists
Undissolved particles are not a defect; you can add them to the tank during mixing. Remember to reseal the container after every use to maintain dryness, and follow the dose guidelines to avoid abrupt changes in water chemistry. This product is intended for aquarium maintenance and hobbyist use, not as a medical treatment.
FAQ
Q: What is Shrimp Mineral GH/KH+ used for?
A: Remineralizes RO/rainwater to neutral water and adjusts dGH/KH for shrimp health, color, and breeding potential.
Q: How do I use Shrimp Mineral GH/KH+?
A: Dissolve 1 level spoon per 10 L of water outside the tank, then add to the aquarium; use undissolved particles as needed.
