Seachem
Seachem Reef Buffer raises the pH of a reef aquarium to 8.3, without the risk of accidentally raising pH to a dangerous level. It will also raise alkalinity, allowing for greater stability in a reef system where the bioload is significantly greater than in a fish-only aquarium.
- Raises pH and carbonate alkalinity together
- Raises pH to 8.3 without risk of accidentally over-raising
- Allows for greater pH stability in reef systems with high bioload
Reef Buffer will raise pH and carbonate alkalinity. However, it is intended primarily to maintain a steady pH of 8.3 when pH maintenance is difficult. If pH maintenance is not an issue, Seachem Reef Builder or Reef Carbonate should be your first choice to supplement carbonate alkalinity.
Reef Buffer has a slightly higher pK than Seachem Marine Buffer. pK of a buffering agent is equivalent to the pH around which the buffer is most effective; Reef Buffers higher pK (8.6) provides greater stability in a reef system, where the bioload is greater than a fish-only system. The higher pK compensates for the organic acids produced by reef inhabitants, holding pH steady at 8.3.
Directions: Check pH and alkalinity before use. Use 5 g (1 level teaspoon) for every 150 L (40 US gallons) to raise pH by about 0.1 pH units (this will also raise alkalinity by about 0.5 meq/L). For precise dosing, use the Seachem Digital Spoon Scale. Dissolve in at least 250 ml (one cup) of freshwater, then add to the tank. The pH of natural sea water is 8.25–8.30. In a well established reef system, pH adjustment may be necessary biweekly to semiweekly. Dosing requirements will vary, but do not exceed the recommended dose without checking your pH and alkalinity (alkalinity should not exceed 6 meq/L).
If an alkalinity of 6 meq/L has been reached and a pH of at least 8.20 has not been attained or substantial cloudiness that does not clear within 15 minutes is encountered, then the system is not ionically balanced. To restore ionic balance perform a water change or adjust the magnesium and calcium levels to approximately 3:1 Mg:Ca.
DO NOT OVERDOSE: Excess alkalinity may enhance the loss of calcium, magnesium, and strontium. Do not directly mix with any calcium, magnesium, or strontium supplement. Best if calcium and carbonate additives are added on alternate days or at least 30 minutes apart.
Seachem Reef Carbonate helps raise carbonate alkalinity for reef aquariums. A concentrated optimized blend of carbonate and bicarbonate salts designed to restore and maintain alkalinity in the reef aquarium. Calcium and carbonates are essential to all coral growth; If either becomes deficient coral growth will cease followed by a rapid decline in coral health.

Seachem Flourite is an all natural porous clay gravel substrate, specially broken and mineral-enriched to enhance live aquarium plant growth. It requires no gravel modifiers and never needs to be replaced, remaining effective for the life of the aquarium.
- Premium natural substrate for the planted aquarium
- Good for life of aquarium, no replacement necessary
- All natural porous clay composition
Though its appearance is best suited for planted aquariums, Flourite may be used in any aquarium. It is most effective when used alone as an integral substrate bed, but it may also be mixed with other gravels. Flourite is not chemically coated or treated, and will not alter the pH of your aquarium water.
Directions: Flourite is pre-washed, but may be rinsed before use to remove any residual dust. Residual dust can also be minimized by filling the aquarium slowly while evenly dispersing the water to avoid disturbing the Flourite bed. Some slight initial cloudiness is normal and will clear quickly, within 2-12 hours. Mechanical filtration and Seachem Clarity can be used to resolve cloudiness even more quickly.
Tip: To minimize cloudiness from residual dust, place Flourite in a bowl in the aquarium and add water directly to the bowl, allowing water to overflow softly on to the gravel bed.
Note: This package does not feature a mesh bottom.

Seachem Flourish Iron is a highly concentrated iron supplement for aquariums with live plants. Its simple, pure formula is ideal for iron deficiencies and/or situations when iron requirements are greater than what Seachem Flourish can provide.
- Iron supplement for the planted aquarium
- Highly concentrated (10,000 mg/L) ferrous iron
- Contains no phosphate or nitrate
Flourish Iron contains 10,000 mg/L of ferrous iron (Fe+2) gluconate, a highly effective form of iron that provides greater benefits than ferric state EDTA-iron (Fe+3) sources used in other iron supplements. Plants can only utilize iron in the ferrous state, and must expend extra physiological energy just to make ferric iron supplements usable. Flourish Iron provides plants the iron they need directly, saving time and reducing stress on your plants.
Use Flourish Iron in those cases where iron requirements exceed that which can be delivered by standard Seachem Flourish at the recommended dose, or when signs of iron deficiency appear (including short, slender stems or yellowing between veins).
Directions: Use 1 capful (5 mL) for each 200 L (50 gallons) of water, or as required to maintain about 0.10 mg/L iron. For smaller doses please note that each cap thread is about 1 mL. Use a test kit to monitor iron concentrations. Use as needed to combat signs of iron deficiency (usually seen in new growth).

Seachem Flourish Potassium provides concentrated potassium to support vigorous growth in aquariums with natural, living plants. This safe, effective supplement helps you avoid potassium depletion, yellowing leaves, and limited plant growth.
- Potassium supplement for the planted aquarium
- Helps maintain a vigorous level of plant growth
- Helps resolve yellowing, death/browning and weak stems and roots
Flourish Potassium contains 50,000 mg/L of potassium - one of the highest concentrations available. Water with low mineral content or systems with rapidly growing live plants can quickly deplete available potassium, causing potassium to become the limiting factor for further growth. Use Flourish Potassium to prevent potassium depletion (signs of which include yellowing in older leaves) and maintain the highest level of growth.
Potassium is most easily obtained from potassium nitrate and potassium phosphate, both of which add either nitrogen or phosphorus to the water and make it more difficult to maintain a specific NPK ratio. However, Flourish Potassium is derived from potassium sulfate, which lets you adjust potassium levels without affecting your tanks nitrogen or phosphorus.
Directions: Use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 125 L (30 gallons). This dose raises potassium by 2 mg/L. Repeat 2–3 times per week or as needed (in response to signs of potassium deficiency in older leaves which includes: chlorosis (yellowing), necrosis (death/browning), and weak stems and roots).

Equilibrium is specifically designed to establish the ideal mineral content for the planted aquarium. Equilibrium contains no sodium or chloride (which can be detrimental to a planted aquarium at elevated levels). Equilibrium 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. 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. Also, 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
- Restores and Maintains Mineral Balance and GH
- Contains No Sodium or Chloride
- Fast Dissolving Powder Repaces Minerals for Healthy Plant Growth

INSTRUCTIONS: To raise mineral content/general hardness (GH) by 1 meq/L (3 dH), add 16 g (1 tablespoon) for every 80 L (20 US gallons) when setting up an aquarium or when making water changes (add to new water). For optimum solubility, we recommend mixing with 1 L (1 qt.) of water (the resulting mixture will have a white opaque appearance). When this mixture is added to the aquarium it will impart a slight haze that should clear within 15-30 minutes. HINTS: Do not use Equilibrium when replacing evaporated water. This dose is based on DI or RO water; for other water, measure hardness (GH) first, then add according to need. For precise dosing, use the Seachem Digital Spoon Scale. Plant preferences vary, but a general guide is about 1-2 meq/L (3-6 dH) or match the existing or target carbonate hardness (KH), which, ideally, is also about 1-2 meq/L (3-6 dKH). Equilibrium will compact with age, but remains effective.
