Aquavitro Mineralize – 150 ml
General hardness refers to the concentration of divalent metal cations, primarily calcium and magnesium, in water. Soft water has low levels of these ions, while hard water contains higher concentrations.
Some aquatic plants, such as Cryptocoryne and Aponogeton, thrive in soft water conditions, whereas others like Sagittaria subulata and Riccia fluitans prefer hard water environments. To replicate natural plant habitats, adjusting water hardness may be necessary.
Product Use
Mineralize is a blend of divalent salts formulated to increase or restore general hardness in water. It is ideal for aquarists who need to adjust water chemistry to match the natural requirements of specific plant species.

I used Mineralize to adjust the water hardness for my Cryptocoryne plants, which were struggling in soft water. After adding a small amount, the plants showed better growth and color. The product is easy to use and effective.
Neil Ross –
This product helped me achieve the right hardness for my Sagittaria subulata. The instructions were clear and the results were noticeable within a week. I’d recommend it to others with hard water plant needs.
