{"product_id":"awesome-aquatic-tourmaline-mineral-balls-regular","title":"Awesome Aquatic Tourmaline Balls Tourmaline Mineral Balls Aquarium Water Treatment, Regular, approximately 1 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eTourmaline mineral balls are placed straight into a freshwater tank or its filter compartment, where they release mineral content into the water over time. This pack holds 10 Regular balls of roughly 1 cm each, and the manufacturer's directions allow about one ball for every 2–5 gallons of aquarium water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe 10 Regular balls in this pack\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pack contains 10 Regular tourmaline balls at approximately 1 cm in size, matching the 10-count figure for this version. Each ball is worked into the reachable corners of a filter compartment or set among the decorations in the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDoes it suit your tank?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the tank size against the dose before ordering. At one Regular ball per 2–5 gallons, 10 balls cover roughly 20 to 50 gallons, and a smaller tank can use part of the pack and keep the rest. A saltwater tank falls outside the stated use, since the manufacturer names freshwater community setups, nano tanks, betta aquariums and shrimp tanks. Source-water hardness and the conditions in the aquarium are the two variables the manufacturer names when adjusting the dose, so a hard-water tank may call for fewer balls than a soft-water one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCalcium and trace elements in the balls\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe balls carry calcium and more than 30 trace elements, and the manufacturer describes them as a slow-release mineral medium. Those elements enter the water gradually as the balls sit in it, which is why the pack is dosed by ball count rather than by a liquid measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the balls do in the aquarium\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMineral content leaches out of the balls over time instead of all at once. The balls themselves wear down as this happens, so a ball in service for months becomes smaller than it was when it went in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRegular against Large, and the combo packs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular balls measure about 1 cm and Large balls about 2.5 cm, and the two sizes differ in their dosing. The manufacturer's figure for a Large ball is one per 5 gallons, while a Regular ball serves 2–5 gallons. The 10 Combo holds 5 Regular and 5 Large balls, and the 20 Combo holds 10 of each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich points should I confirm before ordering?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much water does one ball treat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer's direction is approximately one Regular ball per 2–5 gallons, so a 10-ball pack treats about 20 to 50 gallons in total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere do the balls go?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are placed directly in the aquarium or in the filter compartment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen should the balls be replaced?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer suggests replacing them approximately every 3 months as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the 20 Combo?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 20 Combo contains 10 Regular balls and 10 Large balls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the dose be changed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
