It is ideally suited for use with Rainwater, RO or DI water or any mineral deficient water.\u003cbr\u003eEquilibrium is specifically designed to establish the ideal mineral content for the planted aquarium.\u003cbr\u003eEquilibrium contains no sodium or chloride (which can be detrimental to a planted aquarium at elevated levels).\u003cbr\u003eEquilibrium is ideally suited for use with RO (reverse osmosis) or DI (deionized) water or any mineral deficient water.\u003cbr\u003eEquilibrium raises the essential mineral\/electrolyte content (General Hardness) of the water to balance with and promote stability of the carbonate hardness.\u003cbr\u003eTo maintain KH, we recommend Alkaline Buffer.\u003cbr\u003eEquilibrium contains NO SODIUM CHLORIDE.\u003cbr\u003eBoth sodium and chloride are not rapidly depleted elements in a planted aquarium, and, in the case of chloride, can do more harm than good.\u003cbr\u003eCompetitors’ products generally contain primarily sodium chloride (because it is inexpensive), which will raise the electrolyte levels for fish, but can be detrimental to plant growth.\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, sodium is not a contributing cation to GH levels.\u003cbr\u003eEquilibrium contains only calcium, magnesium, and potassium salts, which aid in fish metabolism, but are also highly beneficial to plant growth.\u003cbr\u003eEquilibrium guaranteed analysis and symptoms of deficiency.\u003cbr\u003eTo raise mineral content\/general hardness (GH) by 1 meq\/L (3 dH), add 16 g (1 tablespoon) for every 80 L (20 US gallons) when setting up an aquarium or when making water changes (add to new water).\u003cbr\u003eFor optimum solubility we recommend mixing with 1 L of water (the resulting mixture will have a white opaque appearance).\u003cbr\u003eWhen this mixture is added to the aquarium it will impart a slight haze that should clear within 15–30 minutes.\u003cbr\u003eThis dose is based on DI or RO water; for other water, measure hardness (GH) first, then add according to need. For precise dosing, use the Seachem Digital Spoon Scale.\u003cbr\u003ePlant preferences vary, but a general guide is about 1–2 meq\/L (3–6 dH) or match the existing or target carbonate hardness (KH), which, ideally, is also about 1–2 meq\/L (3–6 dKH).\u003cbr\u003eEquilibrium will compact with age, but remains effective.\u003cbr\u003eSoluble Potash (K20) 23.0%\u003cbr\u003eCalcium (Ca) 8.06%\u003cbr\u003eMagnesium (Mg) 2.41%\u003cbr\u003eIron (Fe) 0.11%\u003cbr\u003eManganese (Mn) 0.06%\u003cbr\u003eDerived from: potassium sulfate, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, ferric sulfate, manganese sulfate.\u003cbr\u003eElemental potassium is present at a concentration of 195,000 ppm (19.5%).\u003cbr\u003eFertiliser laws require us to list potassium in terms of equivalence to a material that is not present (K2O) rather than the more scientifically sound method of simple elemental equivalence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seachem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44044292259928,"sku":"SC443","price":34.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/8557\/1672\/files\/58612-71fa6a665d093d9f02c22fd5a6b6d0b25d6aa28d_grande-1.jpg?v=1779082332","url":"https:\/\/bespokeaquariums.com.au\/products\/seachemequilibrium600g","provider":"Bespoke Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
