• For long-term care or quarantine
• Creates a natural environment for the animal population
• Supplied with important humic and fulvic acids

GlasGarten Liquid Humin+ adds important humic and fulvic acids to the aquarium water, creating species-appropriate conditions for your aquarium inhabitants. Humic substances are present in almost every natural river/stream and are found in high concentrations, especially in the habitats of ornamental shrimp and ornamental fish.

Humic substances promote vitality, color and well-being, stimulate reproduction, increase the survival rate of offspring and ensure healthy growth. They strengthen the immune defenses of the aquarium inhabitants and improve aquarium biology. They reduce algae growth, inhibit harmful germs, bind pollutants and have a preventive effect against diseases and fungal infections. Humic substances also stabilize the pH value and thus protect against a dangerous drop in pH.

Humic substances should not be missing from any aquarium. Their positive properties have been proven by new scientific studies and since they are missing in tap water, osmosis water, etc., we have to add them. Humic substances contribute to species-appropriate keeping, they are present in almost every habitat and are very important for the health of the animals and their immune system. The organisms have adapted to this and even in low concentrations that barely color the water, humic substances bring out their positive properties.

In scientific experiments with crustaceans (water fleas), even the smallest and invisible concentrations of humic substances were enough to make the animals feel more comfortable and show a better reproduction rate. We have been using humic substances in our breeding facility for several years and have also noticed exactly the same thing in our shrimp, so we support the recommendation for regular addition of humic substances to the aquarium.

Further scientific studies confirm the positive properties of humic substances and, for example, Professor Dr. Christian Steinberg (Chair: Aquatic Ecology at the Humboldt University in Berlin), who has studied humic substances intensively, even considers them to be indispensable in an aquarium. While the classic ecological literature previously assumed that humic substances only have an indirect influence on the animals, it has now been shown that humic substances have a direct influence on the organisms and are even vital, according to Professor Dr. Christian Steinberg.
