Dolomite lime

Dolomite Lime – pH Buffer and Mineral Supplement

Dolomite lime is a naturally occurring mineral composed primarily of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate. It’s used in bioactive and isopod setups to help stabilise substrate pH and provide a slow-release source of calcium and magnesium.

Maintaining a balanced pH can help support beneficial microbial activity and ensure a healthy environment for isopods, springtails, and plants.

Key Points:

• Helps stabilise and buffer substrate pH

• Provides a slow-release source of calcium and magnesium

• Supports microbial balance and overall substrate health

• Suitable for use in isopod and other detritivore enclosures

Usage Instructions:
Mix a small amount evenly into your substrate before setup or sprinkle lightly on the surface every few weeks. Avoid excessive use, as it may raise pH too high for some species that prefer acidic environments.
