Sulawesi Mineral 7.5
Sulawesi Mineral 7.5 is the most easily soluble variant of our Sulawesi Mineral range. It buffers the pH at around 7.5 and is ideal for mineralising RO water, rainwater, or fully desalinated water.
This mineral salt contains all essential minerals and trace elements that the native shrimp species from Sulawesi require for health, wellbeing, and vibrant colouration. It has been successfully used by cardinal shrimp (Caridia dennerli) breeders. The salt supports microbial regeneration in biological filter substrates.
Raises carbonate hardness (KH) and total hardness (°dH) at a ratio of KH/°dH = 0.42/1.0.

Used this salt to mineralize RO water for my cardinal shrimp. The water stability improved and the shrimp showed better colouration after a few weeks. Easy to mix and effective for maintaining pH at 7.5.

Great for setting up a new tank with desalinated water. The shrimp stayed active and healthy. The hardness levels matched what the breeders recommend. Slightly more soluble than other variants.

After switching from tap water, I used Sulawesi Mineral 7.5 to stabilize the water chemistry. My red-banded shrimp have grown stronger and more vibrant. The microbial activity in the filter has also increased.
