Aquaforest AF Shrimp GH+

Aquaforest AF Shrimp GH+

Aquaforest AF Shrimp GH+ is a professional liquid mineraliser for freshwater shrimp tanks. It is made for keepers who breed shrimp and want the right water for healthy moulting, using RO, deionised or distilled water as the base. It raises total hardness (GH) and leaves carbonate hardness (KH) unchanged.

Key Benefits

• Increases total hardness (GH) while leaving carbonate hardness (KH) unchanged
• Re-mineralises RO, deionised and distilled water, which contain almost no minerals of their own
• Supplies essential minerals that shrimp need for moulting and breeding
• Contains a balanced ratio of calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron to support healthy growth and reproduction
• Formulated with Bee and Crystal shrimp in mind
• The water is ready to use immediately after mixing

How to Use

• Add the mineraliser to your RO, deionised or distilled water and mix it in.
• Do not add it directly to the aquarium. Mix it with the water first, then add that water to the tank.
• The prepared water can be used straight away, so there is no waiting period after mixing.

Dosage

Use 3 mL per 5 liters of RO, deionized or distilled water to achieve a GH of 5.

Suitable For

• Freshwater shrimp aquariums and breeding setups
• Bee and Crystal shrimp keepers who prepare their own water
• Aquarists who use RO, deionised or distilled water and need to add minerals back in

Good to Know About Sediment

The formula has a high mineral content, so sediment may settle at the bottom of the bottle. This is completely natural and does not indicate a product defect. The sediment also does not affect the clarity of the water used in the aquarium.

Available Sizes

This mineraliser is offered in several bottle sizes. The dosing rate is the same whichever size you choose.
