Because its hardness impact isn't confirmed by the manufacturer, it's not the first pick for the most sensitive soft-water setups — wild-caught shrimp, some soft-water tetras, plant-heavy layouts relying on low mineral content — without bucket-testing a piece first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePreparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse the piece thoroughly before adding it to a tank to clear dust from handling.
