Aquaforest AF Remineralizer

Aquaforest AF Remineralizer is a liquid mineral solution that rebuilds a balanced GH to KH ratio in RO, deionised or distilled water. It suits aquarists who prepare their own purified water and want it ready for fish and aquatic plants.

Key Benefits

• Mineralises purified water instantly, so it is ready to mix and use
• Sets a balanced GH to KH ratio, raising general hardness and carbonate hardness at a ratio of 2:1
• Contains easily absorbable calcium and magnesium
• Supports healthy aquatic plant growth
• The right mineral ion content in the water helps protect fish against stress and osmotic shock
• Liquid formula that is simple to measure and dose

How to Use

• Shake the bottle well before use.
• Measure the dose for the volume of RO, deionised or distilled water you are preparing.
• Mix the dose into that water first, then add the mineralised water to the aquarium. Do not add the product directly to the tank.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does AF Remineralizer do?
It adds calcium and magnesium to RO, deionised or distilled water. This raises general hardness (GH) and carbonate hardness (KH) at a ratio of 2:1.

How much do I add?
Use 1 mL for every 3 litres of RO, deionised or distilled water. At that rate KH goes up by 2 and GH by 4.

Can I pour it straight into my aquarium?
No. Mix it into the purified water first, then add that water to the aquarium. Shake the bottle well before measuring.

Will it help my aquatic plants?
It supplies calcium and magnesium, and the manufacturer states that the right mineral ion content supports healthy aquatic plant growth.

Why use it with fish?
Having the right mineral ions in the water helps protect fish against stress and osmotic shock.

Which size should I choose?
Choose by how much purified water you prepare. The dose is always 1 mL per 3 litres, so larger volumes or frequent water changes use more product.
