Ratios of EQUILIBRIUM; ALKALINE BUFFER; and ACID BUFFER to achieve and maintain a stable pH of 6.5; GH = 2 meq/L; KH = 2 meq/L

I am a firm user of most seachem products and highly recommend them in several fish groups. Despite the quality of many of your products, I am shocked that your line of fish food does not meet those same standards. The betta food in particular is what I am interested in. Bettas are a type of obligate...

I bought some new Cory catfish for my 75 gallon tropical community and have been battling issues ever since. One by one the catfish died. They would have extremely swollen eyes and their body looked red, then they died. I also had a couple other fish die this way. It happened so fast, within a couple...

Hi! New here and tried searching for people in a similar situation, to no avail. I’m trying to reach certain water parameters and am struggling a bit.
My tap water parameters:
250ppm+ KH (you read that right)
~8.8 ph
0 (zero) GH
I’ve had success getting these under...

Hi there,

I have been trying to cycle my freshwater 90L aquarium for 10 months now, and its still not cycled! This is the first time I’ve ever cycled an aquarium so there must be something I’m doing very wrong and I’m hoping someone would be able to hep me out :) I am doing a fishless...

Do Seachem Paraguard and Biobags from tetra work together? It has activated carbon in it and it is my main filter.

Hi, I have 2 male phantom tetras and 5 females in a planted 10 gallon. Usually they get along great besides a little fin nipping, but I have recently discovered that one of the females is practically wasted away and lost much of her fins. I've quarantined her for Paraguard dips. My question now is what...

hi all. Newbie here. I appreciate any help you can give. I have been keeping plecos and tetras for some time now with some success, but my tap water is fairly hard, and I'd like to soften to try breeding the plecos. I have purchased an ro unit and would like to know how to add back what I need while...

Good morning.
I’m very new to maintaining an aquarium but I am reading everything I can to gain a better understanding on how to provide the safest environment I can for our fish (4 Seprae Tetras, 4 Black Skirt Tetras, 1 Bristlenose Pleco we constantly have to search for and have affectionately...

I have a 500l freshwater tank which I fill from the tap. Generally it takes a good 20 minutes or so to fill back up after a water change.

I have recently been informed that as safe doesn't contain stabilisers that it will only work for chlorine/chloramines for a certain length of time so...

Hiya, so I'm very new to the community. I start fishless cycling 5 gallon tank since 10th March. I have 2 small driftwoods, java ferns, a lot of vallisneria, micro swords and dwarf sagitarria. This tank will have a betta and a Nerite snail in the future.
Now this is the problem:
-the water...

Greetings!
I'm about to cycle a new (freshwater) tank and trying out a fishless cycle.....using Stability and Ammonium Chloride (Dr. Tim's). Does it matter whether I start with the gravel within, or add gravel after tank chemistry is complete? Also, I imagine that I should run the heater regardless...

Hi there,

I plan on running through the regeneration steps for the purigen bag on the weekend, my question is, is there any downside to doing 3 bags in the same container, all at the same time?

The bleach I'll be using is White King, it's unscenteed, but not as strong as bleach...

So I read somewhere that when you use prime it makes the ammonia test inaccurate. Just wondering if this was true or not!
