Restore water chemistry of filtered or rain water with Reconstitute RO.
Reconstitute RO is a high quality, multi-component, broad spectrum mixture of all mineral ions including General Hardness (GH), alkalinity (KH) and all major, minor and trace minerals required for optimum health and longevity of freshwater fish, invertebrates and plants. When mixed with filtered water prepared by reverse osmosis, distillation, or deionization, it will convert those filtered waters into a natural environment in which all aquarium inhabitants will thrive. It has been used to raise discus and other freshwater fish, as well as keep whole systems in breeder, public and home aquariums.
Reconstituting reverse osmosis, deionized or distilled water ensures complete user control over aquarium water parameters. Treating purified water with Reconstitute RO allows the user to customize hardness and alkalinity for the type of fish you’re keeping. This is especially important when keeping and breeding sensitive or expensive species such as discus or wild caught fish. Using reconstituted purified water will also help solve many aquarium keeping water quality issues and prevent the entry of unwanted nutrients such as phosphates that are prevalent in public water supplies.
This product may also be used to reconstitute filtered rainwater and is particularly useful where there are no other water sources available for maintaining your aquarium such as in rural areas that dont have access to a town water source. Rainwater tends to be similar to reverse osmosis water in that is is missing most dissolved minerals and is thus very soft with low GH and KH and is quite acidic (approx 5.5-6).
In all cases you should know your water parameters and have suitable test kits on hand.
Flora•Viv GH+ is a professional general hardness (GH) booster for freshwater and planted aquariums. The combination of soft or filtered water and Flora•Viv GH+ creates an environment with sufficient hardness and trace minerals to keep almost any freshwater or brackish species.
Flora•Viv GH+ is a high quality, multi-component blended mixture of dissolvable solids, many times referred to as General Hardness (GH) or degrees German Hardness (dGH or Gesamtehaerte). It primarily includes multi-valent cations, such as magnesium and calcium, but also includes needed potassium and a full range of trace minerals. When mixed with filtered soft water, it will convert those filtered waters into a natural environment in which freshwater fish, invertebrates and plants will thrive.
Maintaining proper GH is essential for the long-term health of all freshwater animals and plants, but is particularly important to fish and invertebrates from hardwater regions, such as Central America, Australia, and New Guinea.
In all cases you should know your water parameters and have suitable test kits on hand.
The Serenity Aquatics pH6 Block helps maintain aquarium water at pH6, ideal for Tetras, Discus, and Angelfish. It does this by slowly releasing vitamins and minerals. The length of time it will take to dissolve varies depending on your starting water parameters.

This product may also be used to reconstitute/remineralise filtered rainwater and is particularly useful where there are no other water sources available for maintaining your aquarium such as in rural areas that dont have access to a town water source. Rainwater tends to be similar to reverse osmosis water in that is is missing most dissolved minerals and is thus very soft with low GH and KH and is quite acidic (approx 5.5-6).

Flora•Viv KH+ is a professional professional alkalinity boosting KH & pH stabilizer for all freshwater & planted aquariums. Proper control of pH and alkalinity are among the most critical functions of maintaining an aquarium. Continuum recommends that you maintain an alkalinity level as specified in the directions.
Flora•Viv KH+ is a high quality product designed to raise the alkalinity (carbonate hardness (KH) or buffering capacity) of freshwater and planted aquariums at a pH of 7.8 or lower. It will increase the stability of pH over a wide range of conditions providing for safety of the entire system. It contains no phosphates, which often cause unwanted algae growth (many competing products contain 100% phosphates).
In all cases you should know your water parameters and have suitable test kits on hand before using this product.

Serenity pH Up Powder is for increasing pH level in aquarium water. Quality Australian made product for reliable accurancy.
From $10.95
Aquasonic Tropical Water Conditioning Salts have been formulated to re-create natural conditions in your aquarium. It contains the correct balance of salts, natural minerals and trace elements, plus bacterial and fungal inhibitors, to promote health and wellbeing.
Use Tropical Water Conditioning Salts with new aquarium water, when starting up or doing a water change. It will raise General Hardness by approx. 80ppm and Salinity (NaCl) by 130ppm. Further addition of salt (NaCl) is not recommended.
Aquasonic Tropical Conditioning Salts are made in Australia.
- Add 5g (1 level teaspoon) per 15L of water.
- Re-seal container when not in use.
- Do not redose without a water change.
To calculate approximate aquarium capacity: Multiply the length x width x water level height (in cm) and divide by 1,000 for litres.

The API pH Test & Adjuster Kit not only allows you to easily and accurately test the pH level in your freshwater aquarium, but also allows you to adjust it to a safe parameter for your fish.
The pH Test & Adjuster Kit tests pH from 6.0 to 7.6, and includes bottles of pH Up and pH Down to modify pH in aquarium water to desired levels.
Product contains 250 tests, so you can get the most out of your kit for years of fast, accurate testing.
We recommend that you take a few minutes each week to monitor your aquarium conditions and create a better underwater world for your fish. Testing your aquarium water has never been so easy or accurate!
SIZE: Contains 250 tests and includes 3 test bottles, easy-to-ready instructions, glass test tube and colour chart.

1 block treats up to 120 litres.
It is recommended that you achieve the desired pH level, and then use this block to maintain pH steadily at this level.
SIZE: 20g
$7.95
DIRECTIONS:
As a general rule, 1 tablespoon of powder per 100 litres of tank water. Dissolve the powder first in a small cup of aquarium water, then adding to a flowing area of the aquarium. Add a sufficient quantity of pH DOWN to aquarium water to achieve a neutral or desired reading.
We recommend that you allow some time to lower the pH of the tank as it is better for your fish to come accustomed to the changes slowly.

EasyBalance PLUS works to maintain healthy levels of essential aquarium water chemistry necessary to keep your fish happy and healthy. This easy-to-use formula regulates pH and alkalinity and reduces nitrates and phosphates. At the same time, EasyBalance PLUS replenishes essential vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes for maximum aquarium health. One teaspoon treats 19L.
Regular use of EasyBalance PLUS reduces the need for water changes for up to 6 months.
Features of EasyBalance PLUS:
- Carbonate Hardness Additive – The appropriate amount of carbonate hardness is added to the aquarium water compensating for KH losses, which occur as a result of nitrification.
- pH Stabilization – Stabilizes the pH value on a sufficiently high level, preventing a drop to biologically harmful levels (pH crash) and produces a certain amount of CO2 preventing excessive pH values.
- Phosphate Removing Effect – In a standard aquarium (113L) the phosphate concentration is reduced to zero during most of the 6-month period.
- New Feature: Nitrate Reduction with Nitraban™ – Serves as a nutrient for denitrifying bacteria that consume the oxygen releasing nitrogen from the aquarium. On average the nitrate concentration will drop below 40mg/l.
- Other Features Include – Production of Carbon Dioxide, the addition of trace elements and a replenishment of vitamin B.
NOTE: EasyBalance PLUS will not neutralize chlorine or chloramines. When adding tap water to the aquarium it is recommended you always use Tetra AquaSafe® according to its directions.
