The Seachem Equilibrium Water Conditioner for Fish Tanks 300g is specially designed to maintain the ideal mineral content in the planted aquarium. Equilibrium does not contain any sodium or chloride (which can be detrimental to a planted aquarium at elevated levels). Equilibrium is ideal for use with RO (reverse osmosis) or DI (deionized) water, as well as any mineral-depleted water. Equilibrium raises the water's essential mineral/electrolyte content (General Hardness) to balance with and promote carbonate hardness stability. We recommend Alkaline Buffer to maintain KH.
Equilibrium contains no Sodium Chloride, in contrast to competing products. Both sodium and chloride are not rapidly depleted elements in a planted aquarium, and in the case of chloride, can be detrimental. Competitors' products typically contain primarily sodium chloride (due to its low cost), which increases electrolyte levels in fish but can be detrimental to plant growth. Furthermore, sodium is not a cation that contributes to GH levels. It is made up of only calcium, magnesium, and potassium salts, which not only aid in fish metabolism but are also extremely beneficial to plant growth.
