Hello,

I just set up a 20 gallon planted tank and am getting some odd information regarding TDS and GH. I am adding equilibrium properly to get to 6dGH and per the API GH Test kit it is at 6dGH however the TDS meter I have is showing that I have 160+ PPM. I am wondering how this is possible...

Hi,

I am planning on making a 20 Gallon (UNS 60U) heavily Planted Tank with medium to high light using RO water only. This is my first real planted tank so I have a lot of questions. I will be using CO2, paintball canister with an atomizer and the first thing I’m worried about is getting...

Hello all. I recently purchased the equipment I think I need to get my freshwater aquarium built. I was originally going to use RO only and remineralize using a combination of Equilibrium, and Acid and Alkaline buffers. However, after researching a bit more, I found a ratio of RO to spring water that...

Hello,
I have a heavily planted tank (25gal) with some fishes (Angel Fish, Apistogramma, Cardinals..), my replacement water is RO/DI with parameters of 5.5pH, 0 GH, and 0 KH, my goal is 6.5 pH and around 4 KH and 7 GH, in my case I will use Alkaline Buffer and Acid Buffer due to my plants, this...

Hi,

I have a simple question.

I use RO/ DI water remineralized with Seachem Equilibrium, Alkaline and Acid Regulator for my water changes.

The container are 11.3 liters each and I reconstitute 4 of them, for a total of 45.2 litres (roughly 12 gallons). I...

I am in an area with very hard water, and therefore only use RO/DI water when performing routine water changes (30%, once a week). I have a planted tank, and therefore use Equilibrium in order to restore GH and essential minerals. I also add Flourish once or twice a week.

My question...

Hi there ... thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my question.

I have been receiving some conflicting information about the wisdom of using SeaGel at the same time as I am adding Flourish to my tank. The guidance I am getting from my local dealer is that the SeaGel will remove...
