Find a productProduct description
Ishiko Plant Mineral is a remineralizer for keepers who use RO water in planted tanks or with tropical fish. Pure RO water contains almost no minerals, so without remineralization plants and fish lack the calcium, magnesium and potassium they need. This product adds these elements back in a controlled dose.
Why it matters
- The blend contains calcium, magnesium and potassium in easily absorbed forms. These alkali metals affect the viscosity of cell cytoplasm and the permeability of cell membranes, which determines how well plants take up nutrients.
- Dosing is simple: one flat small teaspoon (about 0.8 g) per 10 litres of RO water raises general hardness by about 2 dGH and carbonate hardness by 0.35 KH. The manufacturer also gives a weight-based dose of 0.75 g per 10 litres for the same result.
- The mix includes only very small amounts of sulfates and chlorides, which keeps the added ion load low.
- It dissolves well and causes minimal clouding after it is added to the tank.
