Pure H₂O is not a natural habitat for aquarium fish. By adding minerals, trace elements, and humic substances, it is possible to create an optimal environment that supports the fish's natural metabolic processes. Discus Minerals contains a complex of substances naturally found in the fish’s habitat, including magnesium, calcium, and potassium. These elements are specifically selected for soft water biotopes. The product is fully water-soluble and has antifungal properties.
Why Use Discus Minerals?
Discus Minerals is designed for ornamental fish living in soft water. It provides essential minerals and trace elements crucial for discus and other fish species. Even in relatively "harder" water, a lack of minerals can weaken the immune system.
Aquariums often contain water purified by reverse osmosis (RO) filters, which strip away beneficial substances. Such purified water does not create a natural, balanced environment for fish. By adding minerals and humic acids, optimal conditions can be recreated. Discus Minerals contains a carefully selected and balanced blend of minerals found in natural waters.
Product Packaging and Dosage
Discus Minerals is available in a 300g pack, sufficient to mineralize 3,000 liters of water.
Key Properties of Discus Minerals
- Enriches purified water with essential minerals and trace elements.
- Specially formulated for soft water biotopes.
- Restores overall water hardness and prevents micro- and macronutrient deficiencies.
- Helps maintain an optimal mineral balance essential for fish growth, survival, and spawning.
- Does not contain sodium chloride (table salt), which helps regulate carbonate hardness.
How to Use Discus Minerals
Discus Minerals is ready to use and fully compatible with other DiscusFood products. Follow the recommended dosage:
- 15g per 100 liters of reverse osmosis (RO) water.
- 10g per 100 liters of soft water.
The substance dissolves easily in water, does not pollute the aquarium, and does not overload filtration systems. It can also be dissolved separately: 3g per 10 liters to increase water hardness.
