Seachem Equilibrium 600gm Planted Aquarium Products

Used to use replenish for my axolotl tank, started using this as I was having issues with my axolotl having her gills melting away with all parameters perfect. Now I use this I haven't looked back! My axolotl has healed up really well since I switched to this. Absolute essential for low GH areas.

*** Update 07/13/117 *** Back for more. *** Original review *** We have had an aquarium in our house for almost 25 years, ranging from 20 gallons to 110 gallons, and have had both fresh and saltwater setups. About 15 years ago we purchased our first Boesemani Rainbow and got hooked on this type of fish! Brilliant coloration from freshwater fish; now we have Boesemani, Turquoise, Banded, Red, and Praecox (neon) rainbows that have grown to about three inches in length. Our current tank is a 72 gallon bow-front which we fill with RO'd tap water. It has a bio-ball based biological filtration system and also a pond pump that runs water through a UV light canister to manage algae. About 2 years ago we moved into a new-to-us house, and within a couple month started to experience an oddity with the tank... no matter how much sodium bicarbonate we gently mixed in, we could not get the PH testing kit to read much above 6... and then we started to lose fish. Local aquarium staff were very nice to talk to, and they suggested that our issue was our tap water; they said that our county tap water has 0.5 - 1.0 dGH (General Hardness of about 17 ppm) and that rainbows like 10 - 15+ dGH (180+ ppm). They also noted that the RO process can also drive down GH, and that super low GH levels (or, conversely, super high GH) can cause false PH testing results. They recommended that we immediately cycle out 30% of our water and use Equilibrium to focus on getting GH up. I use a 5 gallon pail to do water changes, and the RO water pours into the pail as produced. We put the equilibrium into the pail with the new RO water, and stir aggressively with a long wooden spoon until fairly well mixed in. We cycled 30% of the water each week until the Equilibrium stabilized GH at around 200 ppm and PH settled in at about 7. As GH came up to around 100 ppm, the PH test results jumped to 8... so those good folks at the aquarium were right on!! Now we have gone back to normal water cycling and using a little bit of Equilibrium to maintain balance. For the last 20 months our rainbows have been quite happy and their colors outstanding once again. We even had a surprise birth... what looks like the fry from the turquoise and banded rainbows. We caught one in time to keep him from becoming breakfast, and kept him in a pen for about three months. Now he is about 1.5 inches long and has been released to live with the others. Truly amazing. Guess we must have lived in places where tap water had medium hardness as we had never run into this issue and had never tested tanks for GH before. Glad we know what to do now. Seachem Equilibrium is our friend. If you have a similar need, we highly recommend it.

Excellent produit. On utilise de l’eau osmosé (osmose inversée) pour notre Aquarium 90 gallons. Ce produit permet justement d’enrichir cet eau en y ajoutant les minéraux nécessaires à la santé des poissons. Il est suggéré de diluer le produit dans 1 litre d’eau et de verser ensuite le tout dans l’aquarium. Même dilué dans 1 litre d’eau, vous verrez que ce litre d’eau deviendra très opaque (comme du lait). Quand ont verse le tout dans l’aquarium, l’eau devient embrouillée mais heureusement, l’eau reviendra complètement à la normale dans l’heure qui suit ou en moins de temps. Produit identique à la description et aux photos. Très satisfait.

Worst product I've used to raise GH , leaves water cloudy and small white particles in the tank for awhile , plenty of other products that do the job without these issues , do not buy

Does what is suposed to
