Seachem Equilibrium Aquarium Water Conditioner, 600 g

As we use 100% RO water, our tank was lacking minerals needed for happy fish and shrink. I bought the large tub of this as it was better value - but it is going to last me ages lol! We premixed with RO water then added it to the thank, left it half an hour and the retested our water parameters - they had risen so we are happy. Should have happier snails, shrimp and fish now.

This product keeps my Gh where I want it and easy to use using the Seachem dose calculator on the web site

Brilliant quality products as always! But remember to use a TDS meter to make sure you are accuatly getting your levels in your water right.I wouldn't use anything else as seachem is the best.

Used twice still waiting for results...

This product increases the general hardness without simultaneously increasing the KH it has done wonders for the plants in the aquarium also.

Arrived on time certainly seems to liven up the plants in the aquarium but be prepared for cloudy tank for a couple of hours but it soon clears

If you have purchased a revers osmosis system or have really soft tap water then this might be for you. But you will need to purchase a ph kh puffer as well because equilibrium is only gh buffer.

Good product that I use with my RO water as I don't want to mix it with tap water. 4 stars only because some of the stuff doesn't dissolve so I have to clean my bucket every month .

Funciona bien como todo lo de la marca, de lo mejor en acuariofilia.Ideal para partiendo de agua de ósmosis subir el GH a lo deseado.Aparte, aporta potasio para las plantas.

My LFS seemed perplexed by my very low GH and didn't know what to recommend if not for aquarium salt, which would surely kill my plants...Then this did the job perfectly! My GH is now optimal and my shrimp have a healthy environment to thrive in :)Definitely super difficult to dose, though. Especially for smaller tanks. I have a 5 gal and a 20 gal. It took a lot of trial and error as well as water testing using my test kit.I found around 120 mg/L was perfect for my shrimp

C'est dans le titre, l'eau est trouble pendant 2 a 3 jours avant de revenir transparente mais le voile en surface perdure et c'est très désagréable. Je vais revenir a mon ancienne marque de produits moins contraignante et toute aussi efficace.

Ich habe sehr Mineral armes Wasser, dadurch sind meine Pflanzen im Aquarium nicht so schön gewachsen. Seit dem ich Equilibrium benutze sehe ich zunehmend Verbesserungen. Ich habe die Kaliumdüngung komplett zurück geschraubt, Equilibrium deckt den Bedarf super ab.Am ersten Tag ist das Wasser aber erstmal sehr milchig und überall setzt sich Staub ab. Dieser veschwindet jedoch bis zum nächsten Tag restlos.

*** 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.
