Continuum Discus Elements T - 500ml

Discus Elements T is a mineral complex that replenishes the minor and trace minerals lost to filtration and plant uptake in Discus tanks and other soft water freshwater habitats. It can also be used with other freshwater fish from harder water environments. The formula contains no heavy metals, phosphates, silicates, gluconates or polygluconates.

For best results, start with purified water prepared by reverse osmosis, deionisation or distillation. Add Continuum Flora.Viv Reconstitute RO to replace the essential minerals removed during purification and recreate a mineral composition common to river habitats. Then buffer the water as needed with Flora.Viv KH+ to stabilise pH by raising alkalinity to suit the species you keep.

For Discus, the recommended alkalinity is 1.7 to 3.0 dKH (30 to 55 ppm). For general freshwater species, raise alkalinity to twice that value.

If you keep Discus or other soft water fish, avoid resin products that recommend regeneration with chlorine bleach, as this can easily kill fish. Continuum recommends its salt-regenerable Power.Cleanse XL resin instead.

Shake well before use. Available in a 500ml bottle.
