Review on SaltyShrimp Shrimp Mineral GH/KH+ 100g: An Excellent Additive for Mineral-Rich Water by Dave Skidmore

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Unreliable, wrong KH/GH ratio

This is my first time buying this product and although Salty Shrimp GH/KH+ seems to be a well respected remineraliser in the shrimp hobby I am quite disappointed. I systematically take a KH/GH ratio of 1:3 or even 1:4 instead of 1:2 (e.g. with KH 2 I get GH 6 or 7, with KH 3 I get GH 10). (As a reference, I use distilled water, which registers TDS 0, periodically recalibrate my TDS meter with NaCl calibration solution, and use fresh API KH and GH drop tests). Don't rely on TDS alone, check KH and GH. Perhaps I came across an inferior batch, but it should not be, since the well-being of any living being depends on the reliability of this product.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • Communication with seller
