The SaltyShrimp GH/KH+ is the best!
I still remember the first time I tried keeping shrimp with untreated RO water. The shrimp survived, but they looked dull, molts were inconsistent, and parameters kept drifting in ways that stressed me out. Once I started using SaltyShrimp GH/KH+, the tank finally felt stable — and honestly that stability changed everything for me. The first time I mixed this into fresh RO water, I checked the TDS meter a few minutes later and everything landed exactly where I wanted it. After a few weeks of water changes using this mineral mix, my shrimp became noticeably more active, molts improved, and colors looked stronger. That consistency is what sold me on it. totally value for money.

Over 2yrs until expiration
No issues so far, comes with a scooper in the jar. Received July 2026 and expires at the end of 2028, so it should stay well within expiration for the 1.5-ish years it will take me to get through this. Not the best price per gram at $25, but with my small water volume anything bigger risks expiration. Will update if anything goes wrong, but all is well after the first dose.

Worked well
Was extremely helpful for my tank. Helped raise my kh and gh without messing with my other water parameters too much. You get a good amount. I can’t imagine I will ever use that much. The scoop it comes with doesn’t really fit in the container easily but who cares. It has good instructions. I use it with tank water and an empty water bottle.

What Your Shrimp Need!
I recently tried SaltyShrimp for my aquarium, and it’s been a great experience. I’ve been using their products to manage water quality and enhance the health of my shrimp and fish, and the results have been impressive. The water conditioners and supplements from SaltyShrimp are top-notch. They’re specifically formulated for shrimp tanks, which is a huge plus if you're keeping sensitive species. I’ve noticed clearer water, healthier shrimp, and more vibrant colors since incorporating their products into my routine. The instructions are clear, and the solutions are easy to dose, which makes maintenance straightforward. One thing I particularly appreciate is the focus on maintaining a stable environment, which is crucial for the delicate balance in shrimp tanks. The products are a bit more specialized and pricey compared to general brands, but the quality and results justify the investment. Overall, SaltyShrimp has proven to be a reliable choice for anyone serious about maintaining a high-quality aquatic environment for their shrimp.

Works great!
I was using a liquid mineralizer before trying this and will stick with it from now on! I got an inexpensive ro/di filter and add it to the 5g bucket I fill. Add, stir and measure the tds and gh/kh, till it’s to my shrimps parameters, then add to my tank. Tons of YT videos on how to do it. The container does include basic instructions but most of which were covered from a product sticker that didn’t want to come off. They also add them to their other products I’ve switched to, which is a little annoying for new users, but no biggie. Overall I’m completely satisfied! I’ve had no deaths since starting with it. My shrimp seem a lot happier and have been molting more steadily. I’ve had nothing but berried females and babies since! Powder is better because you get the correct amount in every scoop vs liquids the minerals can fluctuate depending on how much is in there and how well you shake it.

Salty Shrimp is the "go to" product for reminerlizing RO water with shrimp.
I read all of the reviews and discussions on other forums (fish tanks, aquariums, planted tanks, and shrimp breeders). *No one* has anything negative to say about the Salty Shrimp brand. Shrimp breeders who keep the more difficult Caridina or Bee shrimp seem to really like and rave about the very similar product called "Salty Shrimp GH+." This product, "Salty Shrimp GH/KH+," (with the KH at the end), is for the easier-to-keep shrimp like Cherry Shrimp (Neocaridina species). There aren't as many reviews for this product. The reason is because many (I think *most*) people who keep Cherry Shrimp just use regular tap water (with chlorine remover) instead of this. This product is for people who use RO (reverse osmosis, or "pure") water and want to add back the necessary minerals for their Neocaridina (Cherry) shrimp. The GH stands for "general hardness" and is referring mainly to Calcium and Magnesium. The KH stands for "Karbonate (carbonate) Hardness" and is referring to the amount of "carbonates." Different fish, shrimp, and plants prefer different amounts of each. This product will raise both GH and KH in your tank at a ratio of 2 to 1. Positives: Generally 5-stars. Everything seems to be going well so far. This product seems very "clean." If you measure your GH and KH levels after using this product, then compare that to the TDS (total dissolved solids) level, you come very close. This means that there isn't much else in the product - no other "unknown contaminants or additives." I think this is a huge plus and shows the quality of the product. Especially important when dealing with sensitive shrimp. Negatives (None of these are a big deal, but I took off 1 star total for all of these.): 1. I don't get the same hardness results as the instructions on the label. I use just over 1/2 of the recommended amount to get the proper results. Other people on other forums have said the same thing. (And yes, I realize the instructions are in "milli-equivalents per liter" instead of "parts per million per gallon.") Oh, fyi - note that the instructions are not in parts-per-million as you might have expected. 2. I don't get the same GH to KH ratio as advertised on the label. It's close, but not exactly 2 to 1 like I had hoped. This may be due to settling and separation of the different powders. It's probably impossible to keep them "perfectly" mixed. 3. Salty Shrimp does not say what the ingredients are. I *really* hate this and would normally not use a product if I don't know what's in it. I only trust it based on the brand's reputation. This is understandable (not publishing the exact ingredients) because most ingredients are extremely common and extremely inexpensive. It almost certainly contains mostly Calcium Carbonate (crushed seashells) and Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom salt). It could also contain Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda). I'd really like to know because I want to keep the sodium content low in my aquarium.

Amazing for my Shrimp tank
I have a shrimp tank, and this has helped my shrimp molt. Additionally fixed my GH/KH levels which saved my shrimp. For the value of money, this is great and longevity is good.

Good and effective
Works exactly like expected, use a much smaller concentration than you think you need and you will be fine. A little goes a LONG way.

Il punto di riferimento assoluto per la ricostruzione dell’osmosi
Quando si parla di sali per acquariologia, i SaltyShrimp GH/KH+ sono i primi a essere nominati per un motivo: sono semplicemente il top. Li utilizzo con successo non solo per le mie Neocaridine, ma anche per preparare l'acqua ai miei Betta, e i risultati sono sempre impeccabili. Sono facilissimi da dosare, si sciolgono rapidamente e permettono di ottenere valori stabili e precisi in pochissimo tempo. Chiunque cerchi una soluzione sicura e professionale per ricostruire l'acqua d'osmosi non può trovare di meglio. Per me sono i migliori in assoluto, una garanzia per la salute di pesci e gamberetti. Consigliatissimi!

Absolute must for shrimpies
If you're looking to but Crystal red shrimp, this is what you need with RO water and that's literally it to get the perfect water conditions. One scoop per 10l, with 100g this thing will last you years if you have a small tank.

Très bon produit très pratique pour reminéraliser mon eau de pluie.
Très bon produit qui a très bien aidé à reminéraliser mon eau de pluie pour mon aquarium, et bien contente qu'il y ait une cuillère doseuse adaptée pour 10L d'eau (car assez galère de mesurer si peu sinon) ! 👌🏻👍🏻
