HOW TO USE

OFFER
Start with one-half to one block for 20-40L, one block for 40-80L, or one to two blocks for 80-150L depending on stocking.
PLACE
Use a feeding dish or flat removable area where the block and livestock response are easy to observe.
OBSERVE
Watch grazing, livestock response and water clarity. Reduce the next amount if clouding or softened excess develops.
REMOVE
If a softened piece remains after 24-48 hours, remove it and reduce the amount next time.

MINERAL ROLE & LIMITS

SUPPLEMENTARY ROLE
The blocks combine a calcium/mineral base with a consumable grazing format. They are not a complete diet or permanent filter media.
CURRENT COMPOSITION
The listed ingredients are calcium carbonate and bentonite clay, with organic spirulina, blue spirulina or astaxanthin in the corresponding editions. A binder identity, percentage breakdown and guaranteed analysis are not supplied.
RESULT BOUNDARY
This product does not guarantee a GH, growth, colour, breeding, shell or moulting result.

BEHAVIOUR / CARE

DURING USE
The block softens and is grazed over the feeding period.
RESIDUE
Too much can leave softened excess or temporary clouding, so keep the feeding point visible and easy to clean.
LIFECYCLE
This is a consumable supplementary product, not long-term mineral media with a replacement schedule.

SAFE USE & STORAGE

  • Use as supplementary grazing support rather than a complete diet.
  • Overfeeding can affect water quality and create temporary clouding or softened residue.
  • Monitor livestock response and water parameters, especially in soft-water setups.
  • No copper is added as an ingredient.
  • Store sealed in a cool, dry place because moisture softens the blocks.
  • For ornamental aquarium use only. Not for human consumption. Keep away from children and pets.
