Description: Discus elements T Multi/Trace Minerals minor & trace mineral complex for discus, other soft water species and general freshwater fishes. Having the best water conditions helps to make your discus look their best by remineralising your water with important minerals and trace elements. Discus Elements T Discus elements T Multi/Trace Minerals minor & trace mineral complex for discus, other soft water species and general freshwater fishes. The Continuum advantage. Discus Elements T mineral complex replenishes crucial minor and trace minerals lost to filtration and plants in Discus and other soft water habitats. It is also useful for other freshwater fish from harder water environments. It contains no heavy metals, phosphates, silicates, gluconates, or polygluconates. Use in aquarium keeping. For best results, use purified water prepared by reverse osmosis, deionization or distillation. Then use Continuum Flora Viv Reconstitute RO to replace essential minerals removed during purification and create a mineral composition common to river habitats. Next buffer the water, as needed, with Flora Viv KH+ to stabilise the pH by increasing the alkalinity to the desired value for the species of fish you are keeping. For Discus, this is recommended to be 1.7 to 3.0 dKH (German degrees of carbonate hardness or Karbonathaerte) or 30 to 55 ppm. For general freshwater species, you should increase the alkalinity to twice that value. Directions: Shake well prior to use. Add 1 capful (5 ml) per 114 L for Discus, other soft water fish, or general freshwater aquarium water 2 times per week. Expert use. Dosing through use of a drip system is a superior method of addition. Do not mix with buffers or alkalinity supplements prior to addition. It is not possible, with current test kits, to measure the exact dosage of Discus Elements T trace minerals to add, so to dose, simply add the above amount to the doser. In other words, add 1 capful to the amount of solution that the doser will add in 2 to 4 days per 114 L of aquarium water.
