Masterline KH Minus aquarium water treatment for plants

Masterline KH Minus is a reliable water treatment solution to lower aquariums' carbonate hardness (KH). By carefully reducing KH, this product helps create soft water conditions ideal for sensitive aquatic plants such as Tonina, Syngonanthus, and Eriocaulon. Lowering KH also leads to a more stable and controlled pH, making it easier to maintain balanced water chemistry in planted tanks.

Every dose of KH Minus generates a small amount of CO2, benefiting plant growth. This makes it a water softener and aids in nutrient absorption and plant health. It is completely safe for fish, shrimp, and other aquarium inhabitants when used correctly.

Key benefits of Masterline KH Minus

  • Reduces carbonate hardness to create soft water conditions
  • Stabilises aquarium pH for healthier aquatic environments
  • Supports better nutrient absorption by aquarium plants
  • Produces CO2 after dosing, boosting plant growth naturally
  • Safe for fish, shrimp, and all aquatic life when used as directed
  • Ideal for aquascapers keeping Tonina, Syngonanthus, and Eriocaulon species

Always follow the guidelines carefully to achieve the best results and maintain a safe aquarium environment.

  • Dose away from livestock and plants to prevent direct contact
  • Repeat doses gradually for significant KH decreases
  • Rinse immediately with plenty of water if the solution comes in contact with the skin
