Aquavitro Plant Mineralize 350ml

Aquavitro Plant Mineralize

Aquavitro Plant Mineralize is a Seachem aquascaping water conditioner formulated to restore or increase general hardness (GH) in freshwater planted aquariums. It is ideal for planted-tank keepers who need to adjust calcium and magnesium-related mineral content when preparing soft water, hard water or replacement water for water changes.

What It Does
General hardness measures the concentration of divalent metal cations in aquarium water, mainly calcium and magnesium. Soft water contains lower levels of these dissolved minerals, while hard water contains higher levels. Aquavitro Plant Mineralize uses a blend of divalent salts to help recreate the GH conditions preferred by different aquatic plants.

Key Benefits

• Restores or raises general hardness (GH) in freshwater aquariums.
• Provides a blend of divalent salts for mineral adjustment.
• A standard dose raises GH by 1 meq/L, equivalent to 2.8 dGH.
• Useful when setting up a planted aquarium and when preparing new water for water changes.
• Helps aquarists tailor water hardness for plants from softer or harder natural habitats.

Suitable For
Use Aquavitro Plant Mineralize for freshwater planted tanks where GH needs to be increased or restored. Plants such as Cryptocoryne and Aponogeton originate from softer-water environments, while Sagittaria subulata and Riccia fluitans are generally more acclimated to harder water. Select a lower GH target for soft-water setups and a higher GH target for hard-water planted aquariums.

Dosage and Directions
To raise mineral content and GH by 1 meq/L (2.8 dGH), add 5 mL per 40 litres of water. Use when setting up the aquarium or when making water changes, adding the dose to the new water. Thereafter, dose once weekly or as needed to maintain the desired general hardness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Aquavitro Plant Mineralize do?
It restores or increases general hardness (GH) by adding a blend of divalent salts. GH primarily reflects calcium and magnesium content in aquarium water.

How much Aquavitro Plant Mineralize should I use?
Use 5 mL for every 40 litres of water to raise GH by 1 meq/L, or 2.8 dGH.

Should I add Plant Mineralize directly to my aquarium?
For aquarium setup and water changes, add it to the new replacement water. Continue dosing once a week or as needed after the initial adjustment.

Can I use this for a soft-water planted aquarium?
Yes. It can be used to restore or fine-tune GH, but target a lower general hardness where you are maintaining a soft-water environment for suitable plants.

Is Aquavitro Plant Mineralize suitable for hard-water plants?
Yes. It can raise GH for plants more accustomed to harder water, including Sagittaria subulata and Riccia fluitans.
