EIHO Aqua GH (multi minerals for fishes)

Aqua Gh

Replenish GH for DI/RO or soft water
Replace natural minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium)
Brings out natural colour and behavior for soft water fish.

AQUA GH is specially formulated to increase minerals in water that are needed by fishes. It restores the GH minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium) which are often lacking in tap water and DI/RO water.

WHY ARE MINERALS IMPORTANT IN AQUARIUM ENVIRONMENT?
Often water source from tap and RO systems do not contain the necessary minerals needed by fishes to be in good health. In the natural environment, water is constantly mineralised by the acidification of river rocks. A closed environment such as an aquarium usually lack calcium and magnesium.

The water quality that fish live in is crucial for a proper balance of minerals and water in the body. An aquarium environment is often low in minerals, and this will affect newly introduced fishes from the natural environment. This unbalance will put fishes under stress and may cause death.

Directions

Add 1cap (5ml) for every 50L to raise 2 dGH. For small tropical fishes, discus, arowana, pelcos, keep GH at 2-4dGH. For goldish and koi, keep GH at 3-8dGH. Do not raise more than 2dGH daily. Constant addition of AQUA GH will improve health and colouration of fish. If the environment is stable, the fish natural spawning behavior will be enhanced.

GH (minerals such as calcium, magnesium) and KH (carbonate hardness which is buffering capacity) should not be confused.

Why SG soft-water keepers reach for EIHO Aqua GH

Singapore tap water tends to be soft and slightly acidic, and RO or DI water has the minerals stripped out entirely, so tanks running on either can end up short on the general hardness that many fish rely on. Aqua GH replenishes the GH minerals, calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium, that are often lacking, helping soft-water fish show their natural colour and behaviour and supporting healthy function. It’s a simple way to add back what soft local water doesn’t provide.

We find this especially relevant for hobbyists topping up with RO for sensitive species, or anyone whose fish look washed out and listless in very soft water. Add it to your change water and aim for a stable GH that suits your stock rather than chasing a number, since steady parameters matter more than a perfect reading. Note that GH and KH are different things, so raising GH won’t necessarily stabilise your pH on its own.

It is part of our conditioners and medication range. Learn the basics in our GH vs KH guide, raise hardness correctly with our soft-water hardening guide, and check local supply specifics in our Singapore tap water guide.
