Mironekuton Powder, PE bag with 300 g

Mineral powder

The original Mironekuton from Japan, only found in a single region there, is exceptionally rich in natural minerals and trace elements.

Mironekuton is used as mineral supplement and water conditioner during the cycling phase of the tank and thus can benefit the development of the important microorganisms in the filter and the ground from the beginning. When the tank runs, Mironekuton gives off minerals constantly and thus provides the inhabitants and the useful helpers in your tank with the minerals they so desperatly require.

What purpose do minerals and trace elements serve:
Minerals and trace elements are essential for all organisms as they play an important part in many metabolistic processes and are crucial for the production of enzymes (e.g. in the moulting process of dwarf shrimp). A lack of the essential minerals will result in deficiencies, problems and even diseases. Mironekuton serves as an important mineral depot and creates the most favourable conditions for bacteria (in the ground). These bacteria do not only make the largest part of the minerals available for plant roots but are also important food, e.g. for baby shrimplets and other small organisms. Another part of the minerals is directly taken up by your tank inhabitants or dissolves in the water and is then distributed in the water column where it is available for them. By the way, the body is unable to produce minerals, they must be ingested actively (e.g. in the food) or passively (e.g. through the skin or exoskeleton).

In Japan, the powder is mixed into the substrate as soil additive when the tank is set up. Fill a substrate layer into your tank, cover it thinly with Mironekuton and then add the rest of the substrate. After the tank has been decorated and filled with water, a little Mironekuton is sprinkled on the water surface so that it spreads evenly in all the tank when sinking.

Please note:
Mironekuton has a pH of 7.4. A high dosage added to soft water will raise the pH value and total hardness and will also have a small impact on carbonate hardness (KH). These characteristics are important for stable water parameters and a well-balanced bacterial flora in your tank. Verifiable by common water tests, minerals are given off slowly and continuously, thus offering a great advantage against artificial and /or quickly soluble mineral additives.

Usage: Spread one pinch per 10l of water onto water
