{"product_id":"animal-wellbeing-blackwater-extract","title":"Animal Wellbeing Blackwater Extract","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlackwater Extract turns clear tap water into the tannin-stained, soft, acidic water that Amazon and Southeast Asian fish evolved in. It is a concentrate of fulvic and humic acids that pulls down calcium, magnesium and sodium and nudges pH lower, and it tints the water a tea colour — that tint is the product working, not a fault. It moves water chemistry in one direction only, so it suits soft-water species; if you keep hard-water fish such as African cichlids or livebearers, this is the wrong tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in 125ml, 250ml, 500ml and 1L.

Standard dose is 1 capful (10ml) per 100L of aquarium water, added directly and distributed through the tank. Allow 24 hours for full effect and test pH and hardness. On a new set-up, dose to the level you want before adding livestock. On an established tank, introduce gradually and acclimate sensitive species — shrimp especially — slowly. Reapply after each water change to hold the blackwater conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor aquarium use only.
