SHIRAKURA Mineral Stone, 200 g

Mineral stone (montmorillonite) for vitality and color improvement

Shirakura Mineral Stone is a swellable clay mineral stone made of montmorillonite, which enriches aquarium water with vital minerals, and a natural ion exchanger for purifying water. Due to its enormously high ion exchange capacity, it binds toxins such as ammonium/ammonia and heavy metals over a long period of time and stores them firmly, so that these substances can no longer pose a danger to shrimp.

Initially it looks as if the Mineral Stone dissolves in the water. Of course it doesn't, it just swells up, which is necessary for the storage of the toxins in the intermediate layers and adsorption to the trilayer silicate.

For health, vitality, bright colors and to avoid skinning problems, sufficient enrichment of the aquarium water with minerals and the rapid binding of toxins that develop is of crucial importance. This is especially true when using natural, very soft water, or using bottom substrate that softens the initial water. Here, deficiencies of important minerals can quickly occur. Japanese shrimp breeders are convinced of the positive properties of mineral stones and use them in their breeding facilities, as does Takayuki Shirakura.

Application Before use, briefly hold under water approx. four times every few minutes so that the stone can soak up water and not break in the aquarium.

Simply place approx. 200 g of Mineral Stone per 100 l of aquarium water in the tank. Replace after approx. 6 months. Overdosing does not cause any disadvantages for shrimps. If the Mineral Stone becomes too covered with algae, it should be removed from the aquarium and the algae carefully brushed off. Afterwards it can simply be put back into the aquarium.
