Description

Seachem Equilibrium 300g — General Hardness (GH) Mineral Reconditioner Restoring Essential Electrolytes & Minerals for Planted Aquariums & Soft-Water Tank Setups

Seachem Equilibrium 300g (SKU: 725029-446) is a specialised mineral supplement engineered to establish and boost General Hardness (GH) in planted aquariums and soft-water setups. It restores essential electrolytes and minerals—such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron—without introducing unwanted sodium or chloride. Unlike standard mineral blends, this formula ensures that high-tech aquascapes receive the precise baseline of dissolved solids required to sustain long-term ecosystem health.

Unlike standard salts that can hinder vegetation, Equilibrium is tailored specifically for delicate aquascapes, using highly bioavailable potassium salts rather than sodium chloride to nourish plants while balancing osmotic pressure for freshwater fish. Because it increases general hardness without affecting carbonate hardness (KH) or altering the system’s pH, it provides aquascapers with absolute, independent control over their water parameters. This clean mineralisation actively supports fish skeletal development, stabilises internal fluid balance, and ensures that delicate cell wall structures are protected across all flora species.

This compact 300g bottle offers a highly targeted and precise dosing footprint for hobbyists managing small-to-medium home displays, miniature nano scapes, or dedicated plant grow-out tanks. It is exceptionally well-suited for re-conditioning purified water sources, driving vibrant leaf colouration and robust root development while remaining completely safe for sensitive freshwater shrimp and invertebrates. Its dry powder form remains stable and ready for use, making it an essential component for any routine water preparation routine where soft source water or pure reverse osmosis inputs are utilised.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• RO/DI Water Re-mineralisation: Added directly to purified Reverse Osmosis or Deionised water to build safe, natural mineral levels from scratch.
• Soft Water Adjustment: Used when municipal source tap water lacks the required calcium and magnesium levels needed for heavy plant growth.

Dosage & Application Guide

• Add 16 g (1 tablespoon) per 80 L (20 US gallons) to raise General Hardness (GH) by 3 dGH (1 meq/L).
• Thoroughly dissolve the powder in fresh water prior to introducing it to the aquarium system. (Note: The solution may appear temporarily milky upon mixing but will clear rapidly once inside the display).

Product Specifications & Highlights
