Description
Seachem Equilibrium 300g
Equilibrium is specifically designed to establish the ideal mineral content for the planted aquarium. Contains no sodium or chloride (which can be detrimental to a planted aquarium at elevated levels). Is ideally suited for use with RO (reverse osmosis) or DI (deionized) water or any mineral deficient water. Equilibrium raises the essential mineral/electrolyte content (General Hardness) of the water to balance with and promote stability of the carbonate hardness. To maintain KH, we recommend Alkaline Buffer.
Unlike competing products, Equilibrium contains NO SODIUM CHLORIDE. Both sodium and chloride are not rapidly depleted elements in a planted aquarium, and, in the case of chloride, can do more harm than good. Competitors’ products generally contain primarily sodium chloride (because it is inexpensive), which will raise the electrolyte levels for fish, but can be detrimental to plant growth. In addition, sodium is not a contributing cation to GH levels.
Equilibrium contains only calcium, magnesium, and potassium salts, which aid in fish metabolism, but are also highly beneficial to plant growth. Equilibrium guaranteed analysis and symptoms of deficiency.
A: It does not introduce any chlorides. The balance from the Guaranteed Analysis is from sulfate and water of hydration. I can’t go into any more detail w/o giving you the exact formula but that should give you a good approximation of what you need (i.e. knowing the rough percentage and the MW of sulfate you should get whatever number you are looking for).
Guaranteed Analysis
Amounts per 1 g |
|
---|---|
Soluble Potash (K2O) | 23.0% |
Calcium (Ca) | 8.06% |
Magnesium (Mg) | 2.41% |
Iron (Fe) | 0.11% |
Manganese (Mn) | 0.06% |
Elemental potassium is present at a concentration of 195,000 ppm (19.5%). Fertilizer laws require us to list potassium in terms of equivalence to a material that is not present (K2O) rather than the more scientifically sound method of simple elemental equivalence.
Derived from: potassium sulfate, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, ferric sulfate, manganese sulfate.
