Seiryu-style stone is calcareous and slowly releases calcium carbonate, raising KH, GH and pH over time. Wash it well and bucket-test it first if you're running a soft-water tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's the difference between this and Black Seiryu Rock?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are the same seiryu-style stone with the same calcareous composition, so the water-hardness effect is identical. The difference is colour: this piece is light-to-mid grey with white veining, where Black Seiryu Rock runs to a deeper charcoal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it safe for shrimp?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's not ideal for wild-caught or soft-water shrimp species, since the hardness rise it causes suits harder-water setups better than soft, acidic ones.
