 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™.
Sizes:
300 g, 600 g, 4.8 kg, 20 kg |
|
| DIRECTIONS:
To raise mineral content/general hardness (GH) by 1
meq/L (3 dH), add 16 g (1 tablespoon) for
every 80 L (20 gallons*) when setting up an aquarium
or when making water changes (add to new water). Equilibrium™
can be added straight, although 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. 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).t |

Elemental potassium is present at a concentration
of 195,000 ppm (19.5%). Archaic fertilizer laws
force us to list potassium in terms of equivalence
to a material that is not present (K2O) rather
than the more scientificaly sound method of simple
e lemental equivalence. |
