{"product_id":"showmaster-soft-water-conditioner-salts","title":"Showmaster Soft Water Conditioner Salts","description":"\u003cp\u003eA mineral salt for aquariums running on soft tap water. Much of Australia's reticulated supply is soft, and soft water is not a neutral starting point for fish — it carries little of the mineral content that gills rely on to regulate salt balance, and it holds pH poorly, which is why some tanks swing overnight for no obvious reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSold in 300g and 1kg. Suitable for goldfish and coldwater tanks and for general freshwater tropicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo things this is not. It is not a dechlorinator — you still need a water conditioner for chlorine and chloramine on every water change. And it is not for every tank: soft-water species such as discus, most tetras and wild-caught South Americans are kept soft deliberately, and adding minerals works against them. Test your water before you dose, and add it dissolved in a bucket of the new water rather than tipping it straight into the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 300g and 1kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdds mineral content\u003c\/strong\u003e — raises general hardness in soft tap water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteadier pH\u003c\/strong\u003e — more buffering capacity means fewer swings between water changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGoldfish and general tropicals\u003c\/strong\u003e — coldwater and community freshwater tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow the dosage on the pack, and dose against a test result rather than by habit.
