Equlibrium 300g

Equlibrium is a hardness-building mineral preparation for aquariums that start with soft or demineralised water. It is meant for hobbyists who need to set total hardness for a new tank or a water change, and who want to avoid sodium-based products.

Why it matters

• It contains only calcium, magnesium and potassium salts, with no sodium chloride, so no salt is added to the tank.
• Dosing is set by volume: 16 g (one tablespoon) per 80 litres raises GH by 1 meq/l (3 dH).
• It can be added directly to the water or pre-dissolved in about 1 litre of water, which the manufacturer describes as the more effective method.
• The manufacturer recommends a GH of 1-2 meq/l (3-6 dH) for plants, and notes that carbonate hardness (KH) should be adjusted separately with Alkaline Buffer.

Specifications

• Net weight: 0.3 kg
• Dosing: 16 g per 80 litres, raises GH by 1 meq/l (3 dH)
• Soluble potassium (K2O): 23.0%

What it works with

Equlibrium is a water chemistry product for freshwater aquariums with plants and fish, and it suits setups where the source water is RO, distilled or deionised. Use it when starting a new tank or during water changes. Do not add it when topping up evaporated water, and measure the GH of any other water source before dosing.
