Review on πŸ”¬ Seachem Equilibrium 600g by Samuel Kromah

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good for aquariums with plants, soft water

all year round. However, it is too soft for plants that need some water hardness to get calcium, magnesium and potassium. I use Flourish complex fertilizer, but tap water is believed to have an abundance of these three elements since most of North America has moderately hard to hard water. and pH. I need low KH to keep my pH down. As the KH goes up, the water has more buffering capacity and my pH goes up to 7.6 in my tap water instead of staying at the 6.4 in my tanks. Water. I then follow the dosage directions on the bottle to get my GH up to 4-5 dGH. Still soft water, but not so much that the plants suffer. I put the Equilibrium in a 1 gallon water jug, fill it with tank water, then shake it to mix it up a bit before pouring it back into the tank. Not all minerals will dissolve, so you will see solid pieces sink to the bottom of the substrate. It's okay, and they will completely dissolve within an hour. It's no problem if your fish peck at it thinking it might be food, it won't hurt them. To measure, I use a scale that measures in grams. That way I can get the exact amount of Equilibrium without trying to guess how many fractional tablespoons it will be.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
