Ishiko Plant Mineral is a mineral mixture for conditioning reverse osmosis (RO) water in planted aquariums and tropical fish tanks. It suits keepers who start from RO water, which has no mineral content, and need to rebuild hardness and carbonate buffering before adding plants and fish.
Why it matters
- According to the manufacturer, the concentration of alkaline metals such as Ca, Mg and K affects cytoplasm viscosity and cell membrane permeability in plants, and unbalanced levels in the water column can limit nutrient uptake.
- The mixture contains its elements in easily available forms, with only very small amounts of sulfates and chlorides.
- It dissolves well and causes minimal clouding after it is added to the tank.
- The dosing is simple: one level scoop (about 8 g) or 7.5 g by weight per 100 litres of RO water raises general hardness by about 2 °dH and KH by 0.35.

What it works with
The product is intended for planted aquariums and most tropical fish tanks that are filled with RO water. Dosing is calculated per 100 litres of water, so the amount needed depends on the tank volume. For full effect, the manufacturer recommends using it together with Gen BG or Gen nano BG.
