Brackish Salt 300g*

Live Bearer Salt is a blend of specific salts designed to accurately duplicate the natural environment of live bearing and brackish water fish. Unlike other aquarium salts currently available to the hobbyist, Live Bearer Salt is more than just a simple sodium chloride product. These other salts can burn leaves and roots in a planted aquarium. However, Live Bearer Salt does not cause this type of damage, and actually provides many nutrients crucial to healthy plant growth. Dosing of Live Bearer Salt allows for specific duplication of different brackish water environments found worldwide (such as the waters of Sumatra or the waters of Borneo). Live Bearer Salt can also be dosed for general brackish water community aquariums and general freshwater community aquarium. Live Bearer Salt is a safe and effective alternative to the sodium chloride based aquarium salts so prevalent on the market today.

DIRECTIONS: Use when setting up an aquarium and when making water changes. To add salt to an established tank, do so gradually. It is best to predissolve the salt in freshwater before use. Avoid using salt when simply replacing evaporated water.
