{"product_id":"seachem-equilibrium","title":"Seachem Equilibrium","description":"\u003cp\u003eEquilibrium 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike competing products, 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. Competitors’ 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. In addition, 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. Equilibrium guaranteed analysis and symptoms of deficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeature:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list list-icons list-icons-style-3 list-icons\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRestores and maintains mineral balance and GH\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDoes not contain sodium or chloride like competing products\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIdeally suited for use with RO or DI water or any mineral deficient water\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDirections:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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). 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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). Equilibrium will compact with age but remains effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"guaranteed\"\u003eGuaranteed Analysis\n\u003cp class=\"p-none m-none font-size-xs\"\u003eAmounts per 1 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoluble Potash (K\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003eO)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23.0%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCalcium (Ca)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.06%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnesium (Mg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.41%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIron (Fe)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.11%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManganese (Mn)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.06%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-size-sm line-height-md\"\u003eElemental potassium is present at a concentration of 195,000 ppm (19.5%).
