Phosphate free. Soft water in an aquarium is caused by a lack of minerals and is a major source of stress for many aquatic animals. Basics African GH Conditioner corrects the mineral balance, adding the essential minerals required to help osmosis control and raise the GH (general hardness) of water to the correct level for healthy African cichlids. 

Directions: 1 level teaspoon or 5g to 10 litres of water will raise GH (general hardness) by approximately 12dGH or 215ppm and stabilise pH to around 8.3. For Tanganyika cichlids we recommend using a rounded teaspoon or 8g to 10 litres to achieve general hardness of approximately 19dgH or 340ppm.

For Malawi cichlids or a mixed African tank, we recommend aiming for around 16dGH and a pH over 8.0 For best results, Basics African GH Conditioner should be used in conjunction with Basics African KH Buffer to balance out the pH of your water.
