Directions: For sensitive skin, wear latex gloves. Cut off desired amount of CoralCrete. Replace unused CoralCrete into plastic storage tube. Remove film and knead CoralCrete together until uniform color is achieved. Once mixed, CoralCrete can be used to adhere coral or rock, either submerged or emerged. Press firmly around base or contact point of coral or rock to ensure CoralCrete penetrates pores and surface grooves. Curing begins in about 5 minutes, hardening in about 15 minutes. CoralCrete cures fully in 24 hours. Protein Skimmers may over-activate during cure time.

Note: There is no functional difference between the purple and gray epoxies. Choose whichever color best matches your rock and coral coloring.

Seachem Flourish Phosphorus helps accelerate and enhance the growth of live aquarium plants, without contributing to nuisance algae growth. This simple, safe solution contains no nitrates, allowing precise phosphorus dosing to meet your plants' needs.

• Phosphorus supplement for the planted aquarium
• Safe solution (4,500 mg/L) of potassium phosphate
• Contains no nitrate and does not contribute to algae growth

Flourish Phosphorus supplies an ideal concentration (4,500 mg/L) of phosphorus, one of the three macro nutrients required for healthy plant growth (the others are nitrogen and potassium). Unlike competing products, it is nitrate-free and allows you to accurately dose your aquariums phosphate levels without the risk of overdosing nitrates. Use Flourish Phosphorus along with Flourish Nitrogen and Flourish Potassiumto achieve an ideal ratio of all three nutrients.

Directions:
Beginner: Use 2.5 mL (half a cap) for each 80 L (20 gallons) once ot twice a week or as needed in response to signs of phosphorus deficiency (such as stunted growth and/or very dark green coloring).

Expert: The beginner dose raises phosphorus by 0.05 mg/L (0.15 mg/L phosphate). The ideal phosphate level will vary, but generally ranges from 0.15-1.0 mg/L. Use a reliable test kit to monitor phosphate levels. To target a specific phosphate increase, dose according to the following formula: 0.8vp=m, where v=volume of tank in gallons, p=desired phosphate increase and m=volume of product to use (in mL). For example, to raise 20 gallons to 0.1 mg/L phosphate you would use: 0.8x20x0.1=1.6 mL.

Guaranteed Analysis:
Total Phosphate (P2O5) - 0.3%
Soluble Potash (K2O) - 0.2%

SeaChem De-Nitrate removes nitrates, nitrites, ammonia, and organics from both freshwater and marine aquariums. The high porosity of De-Nitrate supports the proliferation of both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria that further remove these toxic aquarium byproducts.

• Removes nitrates, nitrites, ammonia and organics
• Supports growth of beneficial bacteria that eliminate toxins
• Suitable for fresh and saltwater tanks

Even when exhausted as an organic adsorbent, SeaChem De-Nitrate continues to be an excellent support for the biological filter and does not have to be removed.

Directions: Place De-Nitrate to assure the flow of water through it, such as in a canister filter, chemical filtration module, or box filter. Flow rate should not exceed 200 L (50 gallons) per hour. If higher flow rates are unavoidable, use Matrix or Pond Matrix. It is best to rinse off dust before use. Once De-Nitrate has been used for several days, nitrate concentrations should start to fall and level off gradually at a concentration of 4-5 mg/L as nitrate. As long as nitrate concentrations remain under control, the product is not exhausted. Each 500 mL of De-Nitrate treats about 100-200 L (25-50 gallons), depending on initial nitrate concentration and the current biological load. Enough should be used to remove nitrate at a rate at least as fast as the rate of formation. If very high nitrates are initially present, they should be brought down to less than 20 mg/L with water changes.

Seachem Stability quickly stabilizes new aquarium environments and establishes the bio-filter for rapid, safe startup. Its unique blend of aerobic, anaerobic and facultative bacteria break down organic waste and toxic ammonia, nitrate and nitrite to prevent "new tank syndrome," the #1 cause of fish death.

• New tank stabilization system for marine and freshwater
• Rapidly and safely establishes bio-filter
• Prevents fish death from "new tank syndrome"

Unlike competing products, the bacteria employed by Stability are non-sulfur fixing and will not produce toxic hydrogen sulfide. Stability is completely harmless to all aquatic organisms (including aquatic plants) so there is no danger of overuse. The result of nearly a decade of research and development, Seachem Stability represents the current state of the art in natural biological management.

Directions: Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 40 L (10 gallons) on the first day with a new aquarium. After that use 1 capful for each 80 L (20 gallons) daily for 7 days. Fish and other aquatic species may be introduced at any time as long as dosage is maintained for 7 days. For optimum bio-filter performance use 1 capful for each 40 L (10 gallons) once a month or with each water change, whenever introducing new fish, or whenever medicating an aquarium.

Tip: Use along with Seachem Prime when setting up a new tank to create an ideal safe environment for your fish.

Seachem Matrix Bio Media is a highly porous media designed to provide exceptionally efficient biofiltration for single site removal of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate from freshwater, marine, and reef aquaria.

• Premium natural bio-filter support media
• Removes ammonia, nitrite and nitrate from fresh, salt and reef tanks
• 1 liter is equivalent to over 40 L of typical plastic ball media

Each liter of Matrix provides over 160,000 cm2 (170 sq. ft.) of surface, equivalent to over 40 L (10 gallons) of typical plastic ball media! This product is sold by volume. Cited weight is minimal weight.

Directions: Use 500 mL of Matrix for each 200 L (50 gallons) of water. Matrix may be placed in any kind of filter, and is particularly effective in a canister filter. Matrix is sufficiently large that no filter bag should be required for most applications. Matrix works well in drip tray systems, but you may find that the larger Pond Matrix is better suited for such applications.

Matrix carbon is a truly unique Activated carbon. It is formed as a spherical bead for optimum hydrodynamics, and will not pack. It permits maximum water flow and contact with its high density of microporous binding sites. Matrix carbon has a very low ash content as indicated by its minimal impact on ph. Even when added to distilled water, it does not raise pH above 7.0. While all carbons contain phosphate, regardless of false claims to the contrary, matrix carbon has the Lowest detectable leachable phosphate content of all major carbon brands tested. Matrix carbon outperforms other high grade carbons by at least two-fold when compared for total capacity to remove aquarium organic matter, rate of adsorption, and duration of use.

• No Binding or packing
• Will not raise pH over 7.0
• High performance

Seachem NeoPlex Broad Spectrum Antibiotic is effective against most external infections. When used as directed NeoPlex will not discolor the water or damage the filter bed and is well tolerated by most invertebrates. Neoplex is safe for both marine and freshwater fish.

Seachem pH Alert Reader is a unique color device designed to be placed in the aquarium or filter and monitor pH continuously. A sensor changes color reversibly to alert you shifts to in pH levels between 5.8 and 8.5.

• No strips, no tests, just constant readings
• Detects pH shifts anytime for 3-6 months
• Small and unobtrusive
• For freshwater use only

DIRECTIONS: Simply place Sea Chem pH Alert Reader visibly anywhere in the aquarium or filter. Its that easy. No chemicals or test procedures are required. When first put in service, response time will be about 30 minutes. Thereafter, pH shifts will register within ten minutes. The life of the pH Alert Reader sensor may vary depending on a variety of tank parameters. A replacement sensor is included to ensure effectiveness for 3 to 6 months. Sensor exhaustion is indicated by a visible fading or washing out of sensor color.

Seachem One Year Combo Alert uses Seachem water sensor technology to continuously monitor ammonia and freshwater pH in your aquarium for an entire year, no tests or strips required. All you have to do is hang it in your tank!

• Continuous freshwater pH and ammonia readings
• No strips, no tests, just constant readings
• Easy monitoring - just hang in your tank

Ammonia Alert: The sensor automatically detects free ammonia at levels less than 0.05 mg/L (ppm) and alerts you to the presence of the primary killer of fish before it reaches hazardous levels and causes signs of stress. In the absence of free ammonia the sensor will assume a yellow color, and will move to green and blue as more ammonia is detected. Ammonia is detected continuously with a response time of just 15 minutes, allowing you to respond immediately and avoid further increases. Ammonia Alert lasts over 9 times as long as competing products, and is only about half the size.

pH Alert: pH is constantly monitored, with a sensor that alerts you to shifts in pH levels between 5.4 and 8.0 (freshwater only). It lasts up to 4 times as long as competing products and is small, clear, and unobtrusive when in the tank.

Seachem Ammonia Alert is an innovative color device for continuously detecting and monitoring free ammonia in aquariums. A sensor changes from yellow to green to blue, relative to the ammonia concentration in the water. Seachem Ammonia Alert detects less than 0.05 mg/L (ppm) free ammonia and alerts you before fish show any signs of stress. It lasts over a year and replacement sensors are available.

• Easy visual gauge to monitor ammonia in your reef or fish tank
• Use in saltwater or freshwater aquariums
• Provides 1 year of ammonia detection

In the absence of free ammonia the unit will assume a yellow or faint yellow-green color. It is normal for the dry sensor to have a greenish hue. It may take up to a few days for a dry sensor to equilibrate with the water. No sampling of water or test procedures are required. The presence of the free ammonia is detectable continuously with a response time of about 15 minutes. Response to decreasing ammonia is slower, requiring about 4 hours to register a SAFE reading.

Seachem Clarity is the ultimate clarifier for both fresh and saltwater. It employs an advanced polymeric flocculating agent that is both reef and plant safe. Clarity is the only clarifier on the market that does it all!

• Water clarifier for fresh and saltwater aquariums
• Helps clear cloudy water fast
• Safe for use in live plant and reef tanks

Seachem Clarity will clear all types of clouding, including: bacterial and other biological type blooms, chemical clouding, and particulate clouding (i.e. stirred up gravel bed). When Clarity clears up bacterial clouding it helps to accelerate and enhance the colonization of the biological filter by efficiently relocating these natural biofilms to the biosupport media in the filter.

Directions: Use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 20 gallons. In some situations the cloudiness may increase slightly after adding Clarity, however this is normal and is a sign that Clarity is actively working. Rapid clarification will follow.

Seachem Acid Buffer is a non-phosphate buffer to lower pH and buffer with Alkaline Buffer. Both buffers are designed for the planted aquarium or for very hard water where phosphate buffers may pose an algae or cloudiness problem.

• Lowers aquarium pH and buffers from 6.0 to 8.0
• Converts alkalinity into CO2
• For the planted aquarium or very hard water

Seachem Acid Buffer lowers pH and buffers between 5.0 and 8.0 when used with Alkaline Buffer. As Acid Buffer lowers pH it converts carbonate alkalinity (KH) into available CO2. It may also be used to safely lower pH in marine water.

Directions: To lower pH, use 1/4 teaspoon (2g) for every 80 L (20 US gallons) daily until desired pH is reached (this dose lowers alkalinity by about 0.2 meq/L (0.6 dKH)). Larger doses may be required in very hard (KH) or alkaline waters.

Seachem Malawi/Victoria Buffer is a blend of carbonate salts designed to enhance the natural environment of cichlids by increasing hardness and buffer capacity, and reaching and maintaining a healthy pH range of 7.8-8.4.

• Raises and maintains a pH range of 7.8 - 8.4
• Freshwater aquarium additive increases water hardness (alkalinity)
• pH conditioner/buffer for Malawi and Victoria cichlids

For optimum replication of the Malawi/Victoria environment, use with Cichlid Lake Salt and Cichlid Trace.

Directions: Use 5 g (1 level teaspoon) for each 10 to 20 gallons of water each day until desired pH is attained and maintained. Thereafter, use as required to maintain pH, usually no more than once every two to three weeks.

Tips: It is best to dissolve the buffer in freshwater before use. Use when setting up an aquarium or making water changes (preferably after the addition of Seachems Cichlid Lake Salt) and between water changes as needed to maintain pH. Seachems Malawi/Victoria Buffer is formulated to maintain a pH between 7.8 and 8.4, depending on the amount used. To attain a lower pH than 7.8, you may use Seachems Acid Buffer in combination with Malawi/Victoria Buffer. To attain a higher pH than 8.4, use Tanganyika Buffer.

Seachem Neutral Regulator adjusts pH to neutral (pH 7.0) from either a low or high pH and maintains it there. It softens water by precipitating calcium and magnesium while removing any chlorine, chloramine, or ammonia.

• Adjusts high or low pH to 7.0
• Removes chlorine, chloramines and ammonia
• Makes other conditioning unnecessary

The use of SeaChem Neutral Regulator makes other conditioning unnecessary. To lower pH below 7.0 use Neutral Regulator with Acid Regulator (or Discus Buffer). To raise pH above 7.0 use with Alkaline Regulator. All of these products will enhance and stabilize the freshwater aquarium environment.

Use Fresh Trace to restore the proper level of trace elements required by thriving, healthy freshwater community fish.

Seachem Alkaline Buffer raises the pH and alkalinity (KH) of your aquarium water and holds it steady between 7.2 and 8.5 - an ideal range for most freshwater environments. Alkaline Buffer is safe, gentle, and phosphate-free to reduce the risk of algae or cloudiness.

• Raises pH and increases alkalinity
• Buffers pH between 7.2 and 8.5
• Great for planted aquariums or very hard water

Seachem Alkaline Buffer is a sodium bicarbonate-based buffer. This makes it slightly less stable than phosphate buffers, but better suited for planted aquariums where adding more phosphates would lead to an algae problem.

Dosage:
300 grams (10.5 oz): Treats 860 Gallons
600 grams (1.3 lbs): Treats 1,720 Gallons
1.2 kg (2.6 lbs): Treats 3,440 Gallons
4 kg (8.8 lbs): Treats 11,640 Gallons

Directions: To increase pH, use 1 teaspoon (7g) for every 80 L (20 gallons) daily until the desired pH is reached (this dose raises alkalinity by about 1 meq/L (2.8 dKH)). For precise dosing, use the Seachem Digital Spoon Scale. In order to adjust pH gradually, use Alkaline Buffer with Acid Buffer.

FAQ:

• Q: What is the difference between Neutral Regulator, Discus Buffer, Alkaline Buffer, and Acid Buffer
  A: Neutral Regulator and Discus Buffer are phosphate-based buffers providing a very strong and stable buffering system. Alkaline Buffer and Acid Buffer are non-phosphate buffers, which although less stable than a phosphate buffer, are ideal for the planted aquarium where high phosphate levels would lead to an algae problem.
• Q: Is Alkaline Buffer a sodium bicarbonate
  A: Yes, it is a sodium bicarbonate-based buffer.

Seachem Reef Advantage Calcium is a non-caustic (pH 8.3-8.6) optimized blend of ionic calcium designed to restore and maintain calcium levels to those found in natural seawater. Note that if either calcium or carbonates become deficient, coral growth will cease, followed by a rapid decline in coral health.

• Raises calcium to natural seawater levels
• Capable of raising 20 gallons of water by 25 ppm of calcium with only 1 teaspoon
• Non-caustic and pH balanced (pH 8.3-8.6)
• Maintains magnesium and strontium, will not deplete alkalinity

In addition to calcium, Reef Advantage provides magnesium and strontium in amounts proportionate to typical utilization ratios (100:5:0.1, Ca:Mg:Sr), helping to maintain three critical elements at once. Unlike limewater (kalkwasser), Reef Advantage Calcium does not have a caustic pH and will not deplete magnesium. When used as directed, it will not deplete alkalinity.

Directions:
BEGINNER: Use 5 g (1 level teaspoon) per 150 L (40 US gallons) twice a week. For precise dosing, use the Seachem Digital Spoon Scale. Dissolve in at least 250 ml (1 cup) of freshwater. Check calcium every 2 weeks and adjust amount or frequency accordingly.

ADVANCED: Check calcium level, then follow addition regimen above until calcium is adjusted to 380–420 mg/L. Each 5 g/150 L will raise calcium by about 12 mg/L. Quantity or frequency can be adjusted, but do not exceed 10 g/150 L per day. Thereafter, use as required to maintain calcium.

EXPERT: After determining the calcium consumption rate, set up a continuous drip system. Use the following formula to determine how much to add to your top-off water: m=vc/400 (m=grams to add to top off water, v=volume of tank in liters, c=amount to raise calcium in mg/L). [For reference: 1 gallon=3.8 liters, 5 g=1 teaspoon].

DO NOT OVERDOSE: Excess calcium may enhance the loss of carbonate alkalinity. Do not directly mix with any carbonate supplement. Best if calcium and carbonate additives are added on alternate days or at least 30 minutes apart.

Ingredients: Calcium Chloride, Magnesium Chloride, Strontium Chloride.

Guaranteed Analysis:
Calcium (Ca) (min) - 335 mg; (max) - 347 mg
Magnesium (Mg) (min) - 17 mg
Strontium (Sr) (min) - 0.34 mg

Reef Complete is a concentrated (160,000 mg/L) optimized blend of ionic calcium designed to restore and maintain calcium to levels found in natural seawater without affecting pH. Calcium and carbonates are essential to all coral growth. If either becomes deficient, coral growth will cease, followed by a rapid decline in coral health. To prevent this you must provide calcium (Reef complete) and carbonates (Reef Builder or Reef Carbonate) Reef Complete also includes magnesium and strontium in amounts proportionate to typical utilization ratios (100:5:0.1, Ca:Mg: Sr). This allows one to maintain these two important elements while maintaining calcium. Reef Complete is a blended product. It is not simply calcium chloride. Commercially available calcium chloride contains ammonia. Unlike other ionic calcium supplements, Reef Complete is blended to a higher pH to force the ammonia to gas off into the atmosphere. Also, Reef Complete is more concentrated than any other liquid product on the market. Reef Complete contains 160,000 ppm calcium.

• Liquid Ionic Calcium Source
• Maintains Magnesium & Strontium
• Raises Calcium
• Essential to Coral Growth
• Will Not Affect pH

INSTRUCTIONS: Beginner: Use 1 capful (5 mL) per 80 L (20 US gallons) twice a week. Check calcium every 2 weeks and adjust the amount or frequency accordingly

Advanced: Check calcium level (use Reef Status: Calcium to measure calcium), then follow the addition regimen above until calcium is adjusted to 380-420 mg/L. Each 5 mL/80 L (20 US gallons) will raise calcium by about 10 mg/L. Quantity or frequency can be adjusted, but do not exceed 12.5 mL/80 L (20 US gallons) per day. Thereafter, use as required to maintain calcium.

Expert: After determining the calcium consumption rate, set up a continuous drip system. Use the following formula (or skip the math and use our Dosage Calculator) to determine how much to add to your top off water: m=vc/160 (m=mL of product to add to top off water, v=volume of the tank in liters, c=amount to raise calcium in mg/L). [For reference: 1 US gallon=3.8 L].

If used with Reef Calcium, it is not necessary to exceed 380 mg/L total calcium. Use Reef Status: Calcium to measure calcium.

DO NOT OVERDOSE: Excess calcium may enhance the loss of carbonate alkalinity. Do not directly mix with any carbonate supplement. Best if calcium & carbonate additives are added on alternate days or at least 30 minutes apart.

INGREDIENTS: Amounts per 1g Calcium (Ca) (min)

Seachem Marine Buffer will safely raise the pH of saltwater to 8.3, and will not raise the pH above 8.3 even if overdosed. Marine Buffer is a blended product, and contains sodium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and potassium salts to provide effective results.

• Safely raises and maintains saltwater pH to 8.3
• More stable than sodium bicarbonate or sodium bicarbonate substitutes
• Will not raise pH above 8.3 even if inadvertently overdosed

Seachem Marine Buffer is not just sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate (commonly sold as a substitute), as these products can raise pH to dangerous levels if not used properly. Instead it includes a variety of minerals and potassium salts of carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate, and borate for safe, accurate dosing.

Directions: Add 5g (1 level teaspoon) for each 20 gallons (80 L). Dissolve in at least one cup of freshwater. This dose will also raise alkalinity by about 1 meq/L. Add daily until pH stabilizes at 8.3. This will take from a day to a week, depending on original pH and alkalinity. Thereafter, use biweekly or monthly to maintain a pH of 8.3. If this practice is not adequate, then overstocking, overfeeding, or other poor management practice should be sought as a likely cause. In ionically balanced marine water, Marine Buffer produces little precipitate or cloudiness. If an extensive precipitate forms upon addition of Marine Buffer that does not dissolve within about 15 minutes, then poor ionic balance was present. A water change should be initiated when convenient before further use of the product. Effectiveness improves with continued use. Do not directly mix with any calcium, magnesium, or strontium supplement.

Note: Product is sold by weight, not volume. Contents may settle in shipment.

Reef Calcium is a concentrated (50,000 mg/L) bioavailable polygluconate complexed calcium intended to maintain calcium in the reef aquarium without altering pH. Polygluconate complexation confers several benefits: it increases the bioavailability of the calcium, it provides a rich source of metabolic energy to help maintain peak coral growth, and it prevents calcium precipitation/alkalinity depletion. Polygluconate contains no nitrogen or phosphorous, thus it is biologically impossible for it to lead to algae growth in a properly maintained reef system.

• Maintains calcium
• Accelerates coral growth
• Will not alter pH

Reef Calcium may be used alone to maintain calcium but will provide enhanced levels of coral growth when used in conjunction with an ionic calcium supplement. Reef Calcium is intended to maintain calcium levels; if calcium becomes seriously depleted one should either perform a water change or use an ionic calcium supplement to restore the depleted level of calcium.

Seachem Reef Builder supplies the carbonates and calcium which are essential for all coral growth. It also raises carbonate alkalinity without immediately impacting water pH, and will stabilize aquarium water at pH 8.3 with long term use.

• Raises carbonate alkalinity (KH) with minimal pH impact
• Provides a blend of carbonate sources that will not lower pH
• Will not deplete calcium, magnesium, or strontium
• Promotes healthy coral growth

If either calcium or carbonates become deficient, coral growth will cease, followed by a rapid decline in coral health. Used as directed, Seachem Reef Builder will not deplete calcium, magnesium, or strontium which usually tend to precipitate with increasing alkalinity.

Seachem Reef Builder and Reef Buffer may be used together: use Reef Builder to raise carbonate alkalinity without affecting pH, and use Reef Buffer to raise carbonate alkalinity and pH. As a general rule, reef alkalinity should be maintained at 3–5 meq/L (8–14 dKH); alkalinity should not be allowed to fall below 2 meq/L.

Directions:
BEGINNER: Use 3 g (1/2 level teaspoon) per 150 L (40 gallons) twice a week. Dissolve in at least 250 ml (1 cup) of freshwater. Check alkalinity every 2 weeks and adjust amount or frequency accordingly. For precise dosing, use the Seachem Digital Spoon Scale.

ADVANCED: Check alkalinity, then follow addition regimen above until alkalinity is adjusted to 4–5 meq/L. Each 3 g/150 L will raise alkalinity by about 0.25 meq/L. Quantity or frequency can be adjusted, but do not exceed 12 g/150 L per day. Thereafter, use as required to maintain alkalinity.

EXPERT: After determining the alkalinity consumption rate, set up a continuous drip system. Use the following formula to determine how much to add to your top–off water: m=0.08va (m=grams to add to top off water, v=volume of tank in liters, a=amount to raise alkalinity in meq/L). For example, if you want to raise your alkalinity by 1 meq/L in a 200 liter tank, then you would add 0.08x200x1=16 g into the top–off water. [For reference: 1 gallon=3.8 liters, 6 g=1 teaspoon].

DO NOT OVERDOSE: Excess alkalinity may enhance the loss of calcium, magnesium, and strontium. Do not directly mix with any calcium, magnesium, or strontium supplement. Best if calcium and carbonate additives are added on alternate days or at least 30 minutes apart.

Reef Strontium's addition to reef aquariums aids the growth of corals, coralline algae, and other organisms that lay down a calcareous skeleton or shell, including tridacnid clams. Reef Strontium is intended to restore and maintain strontium to levels found within natural seawater without affecting pH. Strontium is utilized in the same manner as calcium and holds a similar importance in maintaining a vigorous level of growth.

• Seachem Reef Strontium aids in healthy growth of corals and coralline algae
• Restores and maintains strontium in reef aquariums
• Gluconate complexation provides a rich source of metabolic energy

Reef Strontium contains 10,000 mg/L of available strontium as a gluconate complex. Gluconate complexation offers several benefits: it increases the bioavailability of the strontium, it provides a rich source of metabolic energy to help maintain peak coral growth, and it inhibits strontium precipitation/alkalinity depletion. Gluconate does not contain nitrogen or phosphorus, making it biologically impossible for it to lead to algae growth in a properly maintained reef system.

DIRECTIONS: Use 1 capful (5 mL) per 80 L (20 US gallons) twice a week.

Seachem Safe Powder is a concentrated dry conditioner for freshwater and saltwater aquariums. This concentrated conditioning powder removes chlorine and chloramine from tap water, detoxifies nitrite and nitrate, and converts ammonia into a safe, non-toxic form for more efficient removal by the biofilter.

• Removes chlorine, chloramine and ammonia from water
• Detoxifies nitrite and nitrate
• Non-acidic, highly effective dry conditioner for fresh and saltwater

Seachem Safe Powder will not impact pH levels or overactivate skimmers. It may be used during tank cycling to alleviate ammonia/nitrite toxicity, during start-up or whenever adding or replacing water.

Note: Safe is the dry version of Seachem Prime and shares all of its advantages; however, Safe is even more concentrated than Prime.

Directions for Use:
Note: These directions supersede all other prior packaging.

Directions for 10 g and 50 g:
Use 100 mg Safe (scoop) per each 100 L (25 gallons) as needed to reduce chlorine and chloramine or per 25 L (6 gallons) for ammonia.

Directions for all other sizes:
Use 1.25 g (1/4 tsp.) for every 1,250 L (300 gallons) as needed to reduce chlorine and chloramine or use 1.25 g (1/4 tsp.) for every 300 L (75 gallons) for ammonia.

May be added to aquarium directly, but better if added to new water first. If adding directly to aquarium, base dose on aquarium volume. For exceptionally high chloramine concentrations, a double dose may be used safely. To detoxify nitrite and nitrate in an emergency, up to 4 times normal dose may be used. If temperature is > 30 °C (86 °F) and chlorine or ammonia levels are low, use a half dose.

Seachem Betta Basics is formulated to create the ideal bowl environment for both your bettas and plants. It works by removing any chlorine, chloramine and detoxifies ammonia. It also buffers the water to a pH of 7.0 to provide a healthy environment for fish and plant.

• Removes Any Chlorine, Chloramine, And Ammonia
• Buffers water to a pH of 7
• Creates ideal environment both bettas and plants

Equilibrium is specifically designed to establish the ideal mineral content for the planted aquarium. Equilibrium contains no sodium or chloride (which can be detrimental to a planted aquarium at elevated levels). Equilibrium is ideally suited for use with RO (reverse osmosis) or DI (deionized) water or any mineral deficient water. Equilibrium raises the essential mineral/electrolyte content (General Hardness) of the water to balance with and promote stability of the carbonate hardness. To maintain KH, we recommend Alkaline Buffer. Equilibrium contains NO SODIUM CHLORIDE. Both sodium and chloride are not rapidly depleted elements in a planted aquarium, and, in the case of chloride, can do more harm than good. Also, sodium is not a contributing cation to GH levels. Equilibrium contains only calcium, magnesium, and potassium salts, which aid in fish metabolism but are also highly beneficial to plant growth.

INSTRUCTIONS: To 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). For optimum solubility, we recommend mixing with 1 L (1 qt.) of water (the resulting mixture will have a white opaque appearance). When this mixture is added to the aquarium it will impart a slight haze that should clear within 15-30 minutes. HINTS: Do not use Equilibrium when replacing evaporated water. This 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. Plant 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). Equilibrium will compact with age, but remains effective.
