Aqua-Pics African GH Salt 10kg — Trade-size GH conditioner for shops and large fish rooms

A retailer or large collection running dozens of African cichlid tanks gets through conditioner by the kilogram, not the teaspoon, and reordering every few weeks is its own kind of overhead. Aqua-Pics African GH Salt 10kg (SKU: 102545) is a phosphate-free mineral conditioner from Aqua-Pics (Australia), supplied in a 10 kg trade pack for aquarium shops, wholesalers and large fish rooms that stock African cichlids across many tanks. It raises general hardness (GH) toward the hard, alkaline water of the Rift Valley Great Lakes with a blend of minerals, elements and trace elements the maker links to osmotic regulation, fertility and egg production in African cichlids. Two dose rates are built in, a lighter one for Malawi and Victoria water and a heavier one for Lake Tanganyika, so one pack serves tanks set up for either lake.

The lighter rate, 5 g (1 level tsp) per 10 L, raises GH to about 12 dGH (215 ppm) and settles pH near 8.3; the heavier Tanganyika rate, 8 g (rounded tsp) per 10 L, reaches about 19 dGH (340 ppm), and a dose between the two suits a mixed-lake system at around 16 dGH with pH above 8.0. A 10 kg pack treats about 20,000 L at the lighter rate or about 12,500 L run entirely at the Tanganyika rate, enough for a large operation’s water changes over an extended period. It is the second-largest of eight sizes, below only the 20 kg trade pack.
