Shrimp Mineral Premium ( GH+ Dry Mix ) 300gm
LCA Shrimp Mineral Premium is specially formulated to cater to the mineral and vitamin C requirements essential for the growth, survival, and molting of shrimp. In aquariums, many of these vital substances are often insufficiently available, and shrimp absorb only a portion of these elements directly from water. This premium mix also increases the general hardness (GH) of the water with high-quality Calcium and Magnesium.
Main Features:
- Provides essential minerals and trace elements for shrimp growth and survival
- Enhances shrimp molting process
- Raises general water hardness with high-quality Calcium and Magnesium
- Contains balanced trace elements and Vitamin C
- Can be used alone or in conjunction with LCA Shrimp Vitality for optimal results
Dosage and Usage:
Add 13 grams per 100L of water as needed, with a 10% weekly water change recommended. Pre-mix the measured amount in a small container of aquarium water and then pour evenly into the tank. Note that the dosage amount can vary based on shrimp species and other factors. Using 13 grams will raise GH by approximately 6dGH.
Analysis:
When 13 grams are added to 100L of water, it yields:
- Calcium: 29.94ppm
- Magnesium: 7.89ppm
- Potassium: 0.5ppm
Get the Shrimp Mineral Premium ( GH+ Dry Mix ) 300gm to ensure the optimal mineral and vitamin C intake for your shrimp, promoting their well-being and growth.

Step 1: Prepare the necessary materials
Clean bucket or container large enough
Airline tubing
Air pump (optional but recommended)
Adjustable valve or knot (to regulate the flow of water) or get a abquatics drip kit
Clean, dechlorinated water (ideally matching the temperature and pH of your tank)
Step 2: Set up the drip acclimation system
Fill a clean bucket or container with the clean, dechlorinated water.
Attach one end of the airline tubing to an air pump (if using) and place the other end inside the bucket. Make sure it reaches the bottom of the container.
Step 3: Start the drip
Open the bag containing the aquatic animals and carefully pour the entire contents into the bucket, including the water from the transport bag.
Start a siphon by sucking on the free end of the airline tubing or use a siphon starter. This will initiate a slow drip of water into the bucket.
Step 4: Adjust the drip rate
Use an adjustable valve or tie a knot in the airline tubing to regulate the drip rate. Aim for approximately 2-4 drips per second.
The slow drip helps gradually mix the water in the bucket with the water from the transport bag, preventing any sudden changes in water parameters.
Step 5: Monitor the process
Keep an eye on the acclimation process and periodically test the water parameters in the bucket using a test kit. This helps ensure a smooth transition.
Depending on the sensitivity of the animals and the water parameters involved, the acclimation process may take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours.
Step 6: Adjust water volume if needed
If the water volume in the bucket becomes too high, you can remove some water and continue the drip acclimation process with fresh, dechlorinated water. Be cautious not to remove too much water, as it can lead to sudden changes in water parameters.
Step 7: Transfer the animals to the tank
Once the acclimation process is complete, gently net the aquatic animals from the bucket and transfer them to the tank. Avoid adding the water from the acclimation container to the tank to prevent any potential contamination.
Step 8: Dispose of the acclimation water
After transferring the animals, discard the acclimation water from the bucket. Do not pour it directly into any drains or natural bodies of water.
By following these steps, you can safely and gradually acclimate your shrimp, snails, and fish to their new tank environment after transport. Remember, it's important to monitor the process closely and make adjustments as necessary to ensure a smooth transition for your aquatic pets.
