J'ai utilisé se produit dans mon filtre fluval 107 pour mon aquarium 10 gallons. Mon GH était trop élevé! Il était à 12 degrés GH. Mon aquarium est communautaire. Mes 10 poissons sont des microrasboras galaxy, j'ai 10 crevettes néocardina Davidi (blue velvet) et 1 escargot Neritina. J'ai mis le sac dans mon filtre le soir avant de me coucher. Le lendemain, j'ai pris le test de GH et il a baissé a 6 GH! Il a permis de baissé de 6 degrés durant la nuit après environ 10h d'utilisation. Wow! Je suis vraiment impressionné du résultat! Je recommande fortement si vous voulez réduire rapidement le gh a cause de l'utilisation de l'eau du robinet.

My water hardness was off the chart, followed instriction, worked great. It also helped to balance pH and KH. Althought initial charge of this pillow lats 48 hours (recharge needed with API salt, purchased seperatly), but my desired level was achived within 2 hours, therefore PLEASE CHECK EVERY HOUR, otherwise water will become too soft. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼EDIT: Few points in relation to the bag/size: - The bag is a bit big for someone like me, so, i purchased them small mesh bags with zip (very fine mesh made from plastic meterial and MUST have zip, not string lock), search for: [ZEYIYER 10PCS Aquarium Mesh Bag]. - - If you are unable to fit the bag in your filter ( path of water flow in the aquarium filter), then you can just drop the bag in the aquarium. But this way will be slow to achive the desired level of GH, but it will work. As i said above, you must check hourly where possible, and not to leave it overnight as water may become very soft. (Ideal is 100-200ppm in comunity tank) - You can buy a seperate cheapest filter (may AliExp/Temu etc) and just use this bag, or your own bag inside the filter and drop the filter anywhere in the tank as this is work faster. Recharge / salt: As directed in the packet, you will need to use salt to recharge, and it does last long application after application. If you are worried about salt, worry not, as small amount of salt in freshwater tank will not harm fish/plant. But if you are really worried, after recharge, you can rinse the bag in tap water for 1 to 2 minutes. General Hardness: What i learned that the ideal level of GH is 100-200ppm in comunity tank. But i live in London, and I realised almost ALL aquarium shop the GH in their tank is very high, so most fish are bread/born in hard water. So check the water GH when you buy fish (you can test the water in the bag the fish came in). Most i tested was well above 400-600+ppm. So, it is important, in my openion, not to lower your ppm directly to, for example, 200ppm, but slowly day-by-day. Therefore, use the Softener Pillow bag, take it out, let the fish settle, and try again after a day or two to get the water level to 100-200ppm which will keep fish/plants healthy.

This stuff actually worked. I’ve been plagued by hard water ever since moving to my current home twelve years ago. My aquarium equipment has always gathered white buildup no matter how many softeners I tried. UNTIL this one! Absolutely zero buildup has stuck since I added one of these packs to my tank! I am so thrilled. Everyone in the tank seems happy and healthy and I’ve been using these for about a year now. Water clarity is crystal as always.
