Aqua-Pics Amazon / Plant GH Conditioner 150g — Trial-size mineral conditioner for sodium-sensitive Amazon fish

Discus, Apistogramma and horseface loaches come from water with almost no sodium in it, and a general hardness conditioner built around salt does them no favours. Aqua-Pics Amazon / Plant GH Conditioner 150g (SKU: 102856) is Aqua-Pics’ low-sodium, phosphate-free conditioner for raising general hardness (GH) in freshwater aquariums without adding the sodium that sensitive species struggle with. It is dosed at one rounded teaspoon, about 8 g, per 20 L of water, which the maker states raises GH by roughly 7 dGH (125 ppm). The 150 g pouch is the smallest size in the range, suited to a single small to mid-size tank or to trying the product before committing to a larger pack.

The conditioner supplies the minerals and trace elements that Amazon basin fish need to maintain osmotic balance in soft water, and the same dose carries magnesium and potassium that aquarium plants draw on, so a planted Amazon-style tank gets mineral support for both the fish and the vegetation from one additive. At 8 g per 20 L, a 150 g pouch covers around 375 L across repeated doses, enough for several water changes on one display before it runs out. Aqua-Pics recommends it specifically for discus, catfish, Apistogramma, horseface loaches, angelfish and tetras, the groups most likely to be set back by sodium in a conditioner. Mix the measured powder into tank or change water before adding it, and retest GH before repeating a dose on the same tank.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Sodium-sensitive fish: Discus, catfish, Apistogramma, horseface loaches, angelfish and tetras.
• Soft-water set-ups: Tap water with little natural hardness that needs a controlled mineral floor.
• Planted Amazon tanks: Magnesium and potassium support plant growth alongside fish health.
• First-time use: The 150 g size suits testing the dose on one tank before buying larger.

Dosing & Administration Guide

• Standard dose: 1 rounded teaspoon (about 8 g) per 20 L of water.
• Expected rise: Approximately 7 dGH, or 125 ppm, per treated dose.
• With water changes: Dose fresh water before or as it goes back into the tank.
• Retest before repeating: Check GH rather than dosing again on a fixed schedule.
