Proper GH supports healthy osmoregulation, strong growth, vibrant coloration, and robust root and leaf structure in planted, community, and shrimp aquariums—without unnecessarily boosting alkalinity (KH). Key Features Targeted remineralization – Increases Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺ for balanced GH; does not intentionally raise KH or sodium. Optimized for plants & inverts – Provides the macro-minerals aquatic plants, fish, snails, and shrimp require. RO/DI friendly – Builds a stable mineral baseline for water changes and top-offs. Predictable & precise – Clear dose-to-result relationship for consistent, repeatable targets. Safe & clean – Phosphate-free; suitable for aquascapes, community fish, and shrimp when used as directed. Directions (General) Test first. Measure GH (°dGH) of your aquarium and source water. Set a target. Pre-condition new water. Dissolve Florin Delta GH+ in change/top-off water and mix thoroughly. Dose per label to reach your target GH. Add to a high-flow area. Adjust gradually: Increase ≤2 °dGH per 24 hours to avoid osmotic stress. Re-test after 30–60 minutes and again the next day; repeat as needed to maintain your range. For best stability, match the GH of new water to the aquarium before each water change. Recommended Ranges (Guidelines) Planted/community: 4–6 °dGH Livebearers/rainbows: 6–10 °dGH Shrimp Neocaridina: 6–8 °dGH, modest KH (2–4) Caridina “bee” types: 3–6 °dGH, low KH (0–2) with acidic substratesAdjust to the needs of your specific species and aquascape. Best Practices Keep KH and pH consistent; GH affects mineral content, not pH buffering. Pair with Florin Delta KH+ if alkalinity is also low. Plants generally prefer a Ca:Mg ratio ~3–4:1. If leaves show interveinal chlorosis despite adequate iron, verify Mg and overall GH. When running CO₂, set and hold GH/KH before dialing in CO₂; then keep remineralization consistent to avoid swings. Log GH readings; remineralize every batch of RO/DI for rock-solid day-to-day stability. Compatibility Works with RO/DI, distilled, rain, and soft tap water (dechlorinated). Safe with fertilizers, conditioners, bio-bacteria, and shrimp/snail tanks. Avoid simultaneous use with strong acids or pH-down products during mixing. Product Specifications Function: Raises general hardness (GH) by supplying calcium, magnesium, and supportive minerals Use Cases: RO/DI remineralization, soft-water stabilization, planted/community/shrimp aquaria Format: Concentrated mineral blend (follow bottle for exact dosing yield) Storage: Keep sealed and dry; store at room temperature.

Ideal for soft-water sources (RO/DI, rain, well water), planted aquaria, shrimp tanks, community tanks, and species that prefer firmer water. Key Features Reliable KH boost – Increases carbonate/bicarbonate ions to resist pH crashes. pH stability – A steady KH helps maintain a predictable pH curve (especially with CO₂). RO/DI friendly – Remineralize soft water for safer acclimation and daily top-offs. Fish, plant & shrimp safe – When used as directed; contains no phosphate. Fine control – Dry formula/dense solution allows precise, repeatable adjustments. Directions (General) Test first. Measure KH (dKH) and pH. Determine your target. Dose per label for total system volume. Dissolve and add to a high-flow area. Adjust slowly: Increase ≤1 dKH per 24 hours to avoid osmotic stress. Re-test 30–60 minutes after dosing and again the next day; repeat as needed to reach/hold target KH. For RO/DI water, pre-condition change water to match the aquarium’s KH before adding to the tank. Note: KH affects but does not “set” pH on its own—CO₂ level, organics, and acids (tannins) also influence pH. Recommended Ranges (Guidelines) Planted/community / shrimp: 3–6 dKH Livebearers / rainbows: 5–8 dKH African cichlids (Malawi/Tanganyika): 7–12 dKH (often paired with matching GH and higher pH)Adjust to the needs of your specific livestock. Best Practices Keep GH (general hardness) in step with KH for healthy osmoregulation. When injecting CO₂, raise KH gradually and monitor pH drop during the photoperiod. For blackwater/biotope tanks using tannins, expect a lower pH at a given KH; make small, incremental changes. Maintain regular water changes; remineralize new water consistently for rock-solid stability. Compatibility Works with RO/DI, well, or municipal water after dechlorination. Safe alongside conditioners, fertilizers, and most bacterial supplements. Do not dose simultaneously with strong acids or pH-down products. Product Specifications Function: Raises KH/alkalinity to buffer pH in freshwater aquariums Use Cases: RO/DI remineralization, soft-water stabilization, planted/shrimp/community tanks, cichlid systems Format: Concentrated buffer (follow bottle for exact dosing) Safety: Aquarium use only.

Key Features Medium black volcanic ash substrate with ~5 mm particles for a natural, river-inspired aesthetic Gently binds hardness-causing ions, helping to lower GH and slightly acidify alkaline water (pH < 7) Ideal for shrimp biotope aquariums, especially Caridina and other soft-water species Provides an excellent rooting medium that promotes strong root systems and nutrient uptake Semi-open structure enhances interstitial water circulation, helping keep roots oxygenated Supports long-term health of plants, fish, and motile invertebrates that prefer soft, slightly acidic water Durable, bead-like granules retain shape over time under typical soft-water conditions Made in the USA Product Specifications Specification Detail Product Name Brightwell Aquatics Florin Volcanit Rio Escuro-M Substrate Type Medium black fired volcanic ash base substrate Color Dark / black (“Escuro”) Grain Size Approximately 5 mm (medium, oblong beads) Intended Use Freshwater planted aquariums and shrimp biotopes Water Chemistry Effect Gradually lowers GH and gently acidifies toward pH < 7 Ideal For Caridina shrimp, other soft-water shrimp, tetras, rasboras, small rainforest species Plant Benefits Encourages strong root growth, nutrient uptake, and oxygenated root zones Recommended Depth ~1.5–3 in (4–8 cm), adjusted to planting density Preparation Typically no rinsing required; add to empty tank, then fill slowly to avoid cloudiness Usage Notes Avoid strong alkaline buffers and undergravel filters (reduces lifespan and performance) Country of Origin Made in the USA Available Sizes 5 lb, 15 lb, and 23 lb bags
