Sulawesi Mineral 8.5 contains all the important minerals and trace elements for health, well-being and colour splendour of the well-known shrimp species from this region. It promotes microbial regeneration in organic filter substrates. The risk of dangerous germs is also reduced by particularly promoting antagonistic (counteractive) microflora. Increases carbonate hardness and total hardness in the ratio KH/GH = 0.78/1.0. Note: Since there are still difficulties in breeding them especially with the very sensitive shrimps from Lake Towut (e.g. the Harlekingarnele - Caridina woltereckae or red stripe shrimp - Caridina striata), we have made a trip to the lakes after 2008 last in 2011 to investigate the more accurate living conditions on site and . The results of the water analysis showed fundamental differences in the water chemistry of the lakes of the Malili system compared to commonly known lake water types, so we had to completely reassemble the constellation of minerals, resulting in the Sulawesi Mineral 8.5. The less sensitive Sulawesig shrimp such as the cardinal shrimp (Caridina dennerli) can be held and tightened well with Sulawesi Mineral 7.5 and Sulawesi Mineral 8.5. With the very sensitive shrimp species, we hope for better long-term success thanks to the Sulawesi Mineral 8.5, which has been modelled almost identical to the water chemistry of Lake Towute. Use: Stir the Sulawesi Mineral 8.5 salt into water outside the aquarium. It only dissolves with the addition of CO2 over a few days. With a normal amount of CO2 (one bubble per second), the salt dissolves in approx. 3-4 days complete. After adding CO2, the water must then be aerated for at least 3 hours with an aerator to expel the CO2 again. Then the water is ready for use. A temperature adjustment to the aquarium water is recommended. Non-dissolved particles should be added to the aquarium. Close the tin after each use. Dosage: Osmosis water, rainwater, fully desalinated water, etc. with Sulawesi mineral 8.5 to approx. 7 °dH and conductivity approx. 220 +/- 40 µS (Microsiemens), which corresponds to approximately a painted measuring spoon (approx. 3 g) to 20 litres of water. Measuring spoon is included. AVAILABLE VARIANTS 110 g (sufficient for approx. 733 L aquarium water). Directions Add sulawesi mineral 8.5 outside the aquarium in water. It dissolves in heat (boil water or heat in the microwave) or with the addition of CO2 over a few days. After adding CO2, the water must be ventilated for at least 3 hours with aerator to expel the CO2 again. Then the water is ready to use. Temperature adjustment to the aquarium water is recommended. Undissolved particles should be added to the aquarium. Close the can after each use. Review: Co2 (I used soda stream), a power head, a heater, and a bucket will all be needed to get it to dissolve. But it will, and the parameters will be great for the cardinals. I use enough to get to 8ph and around 140ppm with rodi water. Seems like a pain but the shrimp enjoy it. The neos in that tank are doing great also. Review: Bestes Salz für Kardinalsgarnelen ## Features - Safety data sheet available on request. - Mineral salt: the Sulawesi salt with a pH value of 8.5 is used for curing osmosis water, rainwater and fully desalinated water. Contains important minerals and trace elements to easily grow even sensitive shrimps such as red stripe shrimp. - Use: water outside the aquarium with Sulawesi Mineral 8.5 to approx. 7 °dH and a conductivity of approx. 220 +/- 40 µS (Microsiemens). Mix a heaped measuring spoon (approx. 3.0 g) to 20 litres of water - and then gently pour it into the aquarium. - Contents: 110 g – to increase the carbonate and total hardness of your water. Sufficient for up to 733 litres of aquarium water. Already successfully used by growers. - Quality: made in our German factory with selected ingredients – based on over 25 years of experience in aquariums. - Notes: Our water additive is based on on-site investigations of Lake Towut in Sulawesi/Indonesia. Result: the water chemistry differs fundamentally from general lake water types. The Sulawesi Mineral 8.5 ensures almost identical water chemistry. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B073W9F9SD | | Best Sellers Rank | 134,847 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) 1,278 in Aquarium Water Treatments | | Brand Name | SALTYSHRIMP | | Country Of Origin | Germany | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (26) | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Weight | 110 Grams | | Liquid Volume | 20 Litres | | Manufacturer | SaltyShrimp | | Manufacturer Part Number | SSM-NSM85-110 | | Model Number | SSM-NSM85-110 | | Target Species | Shrimp | | Unit Count | 110 gram | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SALTYSHRIMP - **Item form:** Powder - **Item weight:** 110 Grams - **Liquid volume:** 20 Litres - **Manufacturer:** SaltyShrimp ## Images ![Sulawesi Mineral 8.5 | 110g - Sulawesi Salt for Curing Osmosis Water, Rainwater etc. Reduction of Germ Load Due to High pH Value of 8.5 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81VFwvxgutL.jpg) ![Sulawesi Mineral 8.5 | 110g - Sulawesi Salt for Curing Osmosis Water, Rainwater etc. Reduction of Germ Load Due to High pH Value of 8.5 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81AmntuS37L.jpg) ![Sulawesi Mineral 8.5 | 110g - Sulawesi Salt for Curing Osmosis Water, Rainwater etc. Reduction of Germ Load Due to High pH Value of 8.5 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nPZ47H2pL.jpg) ![Sulawesi Mineral 8.5 | 110g - Sulawesi Salt for Curing Osmosis Water, Rainwater etc. Reduction of Germ Load Due to High pH Value of 8.5 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/817LIVZdP6L.jpg) ![Sulawesi Mineral 8.5 | 110g - Sulawesi Salt for Curing Osmosis Water, Rainwater etc. Reduction of Germ Load Due to High pH Value of 8.5 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Fp4XLrKmL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***D on 23 January 2023* Co2 (I used soda stream), a power head, a heater, and a bucket will all be needed to get it to dissolve.
