Fishes and aquatic plants and invertebrates require that specific elements be present in the water to aid with osmotic balance and ensure proper biochemical function, contributing to overall long-term health and survival. Remineralīz fulfills this requirement with a formulation based on data compiled from up-to-date aquatic research. Calcium is required for blood clotting, bone formation, and several metabolic processes in fish, and is required for cell wall stability/permeability and enzymatic processes in plants. Potassium and Sodium are of extreme importance to fishes, as they are required for proper neurological and muscular functioning. Potassium is also required for protein synthesis, water and charge balance, and enzyme activation in plants. Magnesium is a component of chlorophyll and is utilized in enzyme activation. Sulfur is a component of proteins and the coenzymes that are involved with nutrient utilization and growth. Silicon, as silica, is an important component of plant cells, helping increase their strength and improving root growth, and acts as a buffer against pH shift. Note that TDS and GH are not measuring the same ionic concentrations, and therefore they do not necessarily have a direct conversion; GH is related to the sum of divalent cations (predominantly calcium and magnesium) in solution, whereas TDS (total dissolved solids) measures the concentration of conductive substances in solution. This information is provided for reference purposes only. In general, aquatic habitats located in forested regions have a relatively-low concentration of dissolved inorganic substances, hence the general hardness and TDS are also low. Remineralīz is formulated to adjust water chemistry in aquaria housing fishes and plants indigenous to nearly every aquatic habitat, however it is recommended that Rift Lake Chemie be used to remineralize purified water meant for use in aquaria housing fishes from the East African Rift Lakes, as it has been formulated specifically for that purpose.

Establishes an optimal mineral balance in water that has been purified, filtered, (reverse osmosis, deionization, distilled etc.) or is exceedingly soft (well water in forested regions) for all freshwater aquariums
Provides a beneficial ratio of potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium: vital elements to overall health of fishes, invertebrates, and many aquatic plants
May be used to establish water parameters in aquaria filled with purified water, to replenish depleted elemental concentrations in aquaria that rarely receive a water change, and to re-establish beneficial mineral concentrations following large water changes
Beneficial for freshwater biotope aquaria housing fishes indigenous to forested and/or riverine habitats

    The Best Remineralizer for RODI water
    I puchase this product once a month for my RODI Water. It is a necessary item if you use RODI water for tropical fish. I have very tender species of tropicals that I cannot use ro water with. This product maintains the proper mineralization without being harmful even with accidental increased dosing. It works fine with buffers of any kind. I raise betta fry in the water with this product which is amazing how much difference it makes over other brands of remineralizer. This product is easier to find than other brands plus the price is reasonable if you follow the dosing. One 500 ml bottle lasts me for aprox 1000 gallons. Excellent product for the price.

    Don’t Waste Your Money!
    First of all my bottle was not sealed and was leaking, only approx. 5 ml. was missing but that’s not the main issue. When I try a new product like this I like to set a base line with one gallon of RO Water. I started with 1ml of product in one gallon and nothing. I kept adding 1 to 2 ml at a time and testing until I reached 40ml and got no increase in dGH. I tested the product straight out of the bottle and only got a reading of 1 dGH in a 5ml sample. I thought this would be my answer over using powdered products but not where you have to empty a whole bottle in a 5 gallon bucket of RO water to do a water change in a 20 gallon tank.DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT.UPDATE: I returned this product for a replacement thinking I just received a bad batch. My replacement bottle was exactly the same as the first. Don’t waste your time and money on this product!!!!

    Great for planted tank owners.
    Love this product. I hate what powdered calcium supplements do to my planted aquarium. This product prevents that dust.

    Avoid at all costs!
    Avoid! I have a planted tank and use ro/di with it and my reef. I weighed out 4g of ro/di water, 0tds. I added the suggested amount for 6dkh but it tested low. Tank is 6dkh for reference. I ended up adding the WHOLE bottle to the 4g of RO/di water and it tested 7dkh finally. I shook the bottle well of course and validated the dkh test against another test kit and my other tank.Buy anything else or just use baking soda for sodium carbonate. This is literally just water. Been a long time since I had an aquarium product this bad.

    Bad batch?
    My batch was no good… did not come close to raising Gh in my rodi water… even tried a higher dosage on 2 cups of water and saw only a small increase in Gh

    “SKIP IT! Does nothing.” -aquarist of 40 years
    I think this is just water, and it did NOT measurably change GH or KH in the RO water after double, tripling, quadrupling recommended dosing. Yes, I shook the bottle well. Yes, I waited an hour. The additive did NOTHING to the water.

    Did absolutely nothing
    Like many reviewers, I use RO/DI water for multiple aquariums. Thought I would give this a try, not sure if I got a bad bottle or what, but to quote another reviewer, not entirely sure what I got wasn’t just a bottle of water. I like to use 1 gallon of water to come up with my “recipie” and then I can expand it out from there. 5ml should move the GH up on 20 gallons per the bottle. I added small amount of this to 1 gallon of water, then more, then more…. I got up to 100ml in 1 gallon of water and GH hadn’t moved an inch! Let it sit over night. Nothing. Went so far as to buy a new test kit. Nothing. My take, don’t waste your time.

    Not sure what I received isn’t water…
    I added the suggested amount for a water change the first time I used it, trusted it was what it said. This time I decided to check my levels on the new water to be sure it was where I wanted. No. Doubled the recommended amount. Still no GH registering. I quadruped it and still barely moved the needle. Luckily have another product that I know does the job. Returning this if I can.
