Kusuri Lithaqua
Kusuri Lithaqua is a natural calcified seaweed. A pH buffer that can last a number of years. Lithaqua is a marine mineral sometimes referred to as coral, however it is calcified seaweed, high in trace elements and carbonates. Ideal for use in tanks and filter bays. Average particule size is 2-4mm. Modern filters contain many varied plastic media. These provide good support for bacteria, but Lithaqua goes one stage further. Not only do beneficial bacteria draw nutrients from the media, the media being of porous construction has a huge surface area up to 20 times greater than most plastic media. However the main advantage of Lithaqua is the high level of Carbonates which will improve carbonate alkalinity in soft water. It neutralizes low acid pH and reduces pH swings. It will keep the pH above 7, negating the use of quick fix short term pH buffers. Read more

Oyster Shells
Oyster Shells
Oyster Shells – the sure way to always keep KH and pH values under control. Oyster shells have an exceptionally stabilising effect on the KH value and consequently indirectly on the pH value. The KH value provides an indication of the water’s carbonate hardness. A pond’s KH value generally is not measured regularly enough. Only when there are problems, and therefore too late, are there any interventions by adding remedies, such as KH+ powder. However, KH+ powder has a number of drawbacks: Read more
- A lot of powder quickly disappears via the bottom drain/ Filter system
- Short-term boost effect; major fluctuations in water values
- The need for continuous testing and adding powder
Shell size: Generally between 5-7.5cm in length. The number of shells can vary but as a working guide 1kg is likely to contain approximately 40 to 50 shell pieces.
