    Benibachi Mironekuton
    is an original Japanese and 100% naturally occurring minerals stone without further additives. It is a rare natural mineral found only in Japan. Due to its variety of positive
    properties
    it is in Japanese shrimp breeders and plant hobbyists very popular, especially with the use of soil-ground, as it significantly improves the important microbiology (bacteria, accompanying fauna).
    Benibachi Mironekuton
    works as a mineral supplement and water conditioner used from the
    outset,
    and can promote the development of important microorganisms and beneficial bacteria in the filter and substrate.
    Benibachi Mironekuton
    also is the additional mineral supply to shrimps in the tank and promotes molting and breeding.
    Benibachi Mironekuton
    also works as pH buffers and thus it prevents against
    dangerous
    drop in pH. It supports the general hardness (
    gH
    ), improved water quality, the ion exchange capacity, the growth of plants and their root growth, photosynthesis and the release of oxygen. It adsorbs pollutants, ensures crystal clear water and removes unpleasant odors.
    The outer loose layer of the stones comes off in water. If you hold the stone in your hand in the water you can easily rub it off and thus spread the powder evenly in the water to increase its positive effects. Should you not want this, you could just rinse the stone under running water.
    Direction:
    Use 2 pieces for a 20G tank. Rinse lightly before use.
    Also, crush the stones and use them as the 1st layer of the substrate when setting up a tank.
    What purpose do minerals and trace elements serve?
    Minerals and trace elements are essential for all organisms as they play an important part in many
    metabolistic
    processes and are crucial for the production of enzymes (e.g. in the
    moulting
    process of dwarf shrimp). A lack of the essential minerals will result in deficiencies,
    problems
    and even diseases.
    Benibachi Mironekuton
    serves as an important mineral depot and creates the most
    favourable
    conditions for bacteria (in the ground). These bacteria do not only make the largest part of the minerals available for plant roots but are also important food, e.g. for baby shrimplets and other small organisms. Another part of the minerals is directly taken up by your tank inhabitants or dissolves in the water and is then distributed in the water column where it is available for them. By the way, the body is unable to produce minerals, they must be ingested actively (e.g. in the food) or passively (e.g. through the skin or exoskeleton).
    Benibachi Mironekuton
    is used as
    mineral
    supplement and water conditioner during the cycling phase of the tank and thus can benefit the development of the important microorganisms in the filter and the ground from the beginning. When the tank runs,
    Benibachi Mironekuton
    gives off minerals constantly and thus provides the inhabitants and the useful helpers in your tank with the minerals they so
    desperatly
    require.
    In addition to all these positive characteristics,
    Benibachi Mironekuton
    stabilizes the pH value and thus prevents dangerous pH plunges. It sustains total hardness (GH), improves the water quality as well as the ion exchange capacity and provides for better plant growth and root formation, enhancing photosynthesis and the formation of oxygen. It absorbs noxious substances, makes the water crystal clear and removes
    odours
    .
    Impact to
    TDS/KH/pH:
    Benibachi Mironekuton
    has a pH of 7.4. A high dosage added to soft water will raise the pH value and total hardness and will also have a small impact on carbonate hardness (KH). These characteristics are important for stable water parameters and a well-balanced bacterial flora in your tank. Verifiable by common water tests, minerals are given off slowly and continuously, thus offering a great advantage against artificial and /or quickly soluble mineral additives.
    Shrimpkeeping and dwarf shrimp breeding:
    The all-important small accompanying fauna organisms that provide for a good and stable water quality and serve shrimp as food are very sensitive to mineral deficiencies, so are young shrimplets. When undersupplied, the small organisms die off or don't even develop in the first place, shrimplets don't survive, and adult shrimp suffer from moulting problems and periodically die. Often, the role quality and quantity of microorganisms play in successful shrimpkeeping and breeding is grossly underestimated. In the tanks of successful breeders you can see a multitude of different livingthings on the ground. If this is given in a tank and if the mineral supply is good, the shrimp show a much better colour intensity, are more agile and reproduce in higher numbers.
    These small critters like e.g. copepods (Cyclops) and ostracods are brought into almost every tank with new plants, animals, food, etc. Ideally, large numbers of them should be found on the ground (please use a magnifying glass if necessary). They are a sign for high-quality water, sufficient minerals and food, which are more important that excruciatingly adapted water parameters. If there are no or only very few of these little critters there, often the conditions on and in the ground are less than optimal, so that baby shrimp have little chances to survive. Typically, they die around 7 to 14 days after hatching.
    Benibachi Mironekuton
    prevents this and provides them with a favourable soil milieu where small organisms and thus also shrimp offspring develop nicely.
