Waterweeds basically raise the water's pH level. However, many waterweeds prefer slightly-acid water.

Waterweed, Small Koi, Small Characin, and Shrimp, etc.

The main component of Power House Soft Type products is activated silica, which controls the rise in pH level, providing stable water quality and making the water ideal for waterweed aquariums as well as for small characin, shrimp and many types of freshwater fish that favor slightly acid water. Especially as waterweeds photosynthesize during the day, consuming carbon dioxide, the pH level rises approximately 0.5 to 1.0. Many waterweeds are not strong against high pH levels. Thus by using Power House Soft Type products, the rise in pH level can be actively controlled to stabilize water quality.

●Waterweed aquariums and Power House Soft Type products

There are numerous factors both inside and outside an aquarium that cause the pH level to rise. Bottom sand and filtering media play key roles in maintaining a stable water quality. As Power House Soft Type products control the rise of pH level, creating stable water conditions, they are the ideal filter media for waterweed aquariums. An external filter is normally used in many cases for waterweed aquariums to prevent CO₂ scatter, but water flow dispersal occurring inside and filtering efficiency should be taken into account, to choose the filter media product of appropriate size for the filter's capacity.
