Give Soft Aquarium Water a Mineral Makeover
 
Support balanced water conditions with Little Lotl’s Axolotl GH Conditioner.
 
This phosphate-free powdered conditioner increases general hardness, or GH, by adding essential calcium, magnesium and trace minerals to aquarium water.
 
It is ideal for axolotl tanks, freshwater aquariums and homes with naturally soft or low-mineral water.
 
Think of it as a carefully measured mineral top-up for water that arrived feeling a little underdressed.
 
Why Is GH Important for Axolotls?
 
GH measures the amount of dissolved minerals, particularly calcium and magnesium, in aquarium water.
 
Suitable mineral levels can support:
 
Healthy growth and development
Balanced freshwater conditions
Stable water parameters
Normal biological functions
Long-term axolotl wellbeing
 
Water that is extremely soft or mineral-deficient may not provide the balanced conditions axolotls require.
 
Always test your water before adding GH Conditioner. More minerals are not automatically better, and your test results should guide every adjustment.
 
Why Choose Axolotl GH Conditioner?
 
Increases general hardness safely
Adds calcium, magnesium and trace minerals
Phosphate-free formula
Supports balanced aquarium water
Suitable for soft or low-mineral water
Easy-to-use powdered formula
Suitable for axolotl tanks
Suitable for freshwater aquariums
Useful for routine water preparation and maintenance
 
Directions for Use
 
Add:
 
1 level teaspoon, or 5g
Per 10 litres of aquarium water
 
Dissolve the measured conditioner thoroughly before adding it to the aquarium.
 
Test GH before dosing, then retest after the conditioner has mixed through the water.
 
Adjust gradually as required. Avoid repeatedly adding conditioner without confirming the current GH level.
 
When Should I Use It?
 
Axolotl GH Conditioner may be useful when:
 
Tap water has a low GH reading
Rainwater or very soft water is being used
Aquarium mineral levels require correction
Preparing water for a new aquarium
Replacing minerals during water changes
Water testing shows calcium or magnesium support is needed
 
It should not be added simply because a water change is due. Test first, dose second and let the numbers make the decision.
 
Is GH the Same as KH?
 
No.
GH measures calcium, magnesium and other dissolved minerals.
 
KH measures carbonate hardness and helps resist sudden changes in pH.
 
An aquarium can have suitable GH but low KH, or suitable KH but low GH. Test both separately before using mineral or buffering products.
 
 
Suitable For
 
Axolotl aquariums
Soft-water areas
Low-mineral tap water
Freshwater aquariums
New aquarium preparation
Routine water changes
Australian axolotl keepers
Aquariums requiring gradual GH adjustment
 
Important Aquarium Care
 
GH Conditioner supports mineral balance, but it does not replace:
 
A fully cycled aquarium
Regular liquid water testing
Suitable filtration
Dechlorinated water
Stable aquarium temperature
Routine water changes and waste removal
 
Before introducing an axolotl, the aquarium should consistently test at:
 
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: within a safe and manageable range
 
Your test kit remains the aquarium’s tiny laboratory supervisor.

API GH & KH Test Kit
 
Measure general hardness and carbonate hardness accurately before adding mineral conditioners or buffers.
 
Axolotl KH Buffer
 
Increase carbonate hardness and support stable pH when testing confirms that KH is too low.
 
Axolotl Chlorine Eliminator
 
Treat new tap water by removing or detoxifying chlorine, chloramine and other unwanted compounds before it reaches your axolotl.
 
Axolotl Bacta-Boost
 
Support beneficial bacteria and biological filtration during cycling, water changes and routine aquarium maintenance.
 
Build Better Water Conditions
 
Balanced mineral levels are an important part of maintaining a stable axolotl aquarium.
 
Use Little Lotl’s Axolotl GH Conditioner when testing shows your water needs additional calcium, magnesium and trace minerals.
