Duradrakon is more than just a simple hardening salt for aquariums, it is a precise solution for aquariums with demanding water quality requirements. Ideal for use in reverse osmosis (RO) or demineralised (DI) water, Duradrakon provides balanced hardening (TH + CH), for which the presence of a CO2 system is important. This finely tuned formulation ensures that your aquarium water has an optimum total salt concentration for your aquatic inhabitants to thrive.

Duradrakon TH-Plus - the specialist for total hardness

In aquaristics, total hardness (TH) plays a decisive role in the well-being and health of aquarium inhabitants. Duradrakon TH-Plus was developed to precisely increase the total hardness without disturbing the biological balance. This product is ideal for all types of tanks, but especially for shrimp, crayfish and Malawi tanks. The special formulation of Duradrakon TH-Plus ensures that your aquatic inhabitants live in an environment that is as close as possible to their natural living conditions.
