Sulawesi Mineral 8.5 dissloving

Post by stonefox »

I bought something Sulawesi Mineral 8.5, but have difficulty dissolving it in my osmosis. There are a lot of "powder" on the bottom of the container I mix in. * And then the water becomes milky.

How do I dissolve it so it's ready to use

Hi stonefox,
exchange a certain quantity of tank water with osmotic water. Take 100 to 200 ml osmotic water and fill mineral 8,5 in and mix it a few seconds. Now all of this mixture should be given slowly in your tank. After a few hours it will change from milky to clear water. The salt must not be dissolved but it has to be given into the tank. Next day you may measure. I run 220 to 250 us and pH 8,0 to 8,3.
I practice it this way and breed different Sulawesi shrimps.
