Seachem Equilibrium 300gram

Works great
Works great to raise my GH without affecting KH or PH. Exactly what I was looking for. Three more words.
Seachem Equilibrium - Outstanding aquarium water conditioner
About 2 years ago we moved into a new-to-us house, and within a couple month started to experience an oddity with the tank... no matter how much sodium bicarbonate we gently mixed in, we could not get the PH testing kit to read much above 6... and then we started to lose fish.

Local aquarium staff were very nice to talk to, and they suggested that our issue was our tap water; they said that our county tap water has 0.5 - 1.0 dGH (General Hardness of about 17 ppm) and that rainbows like 10 - 15+ dGH (180+ ppm). They also noted that the RO process can also drive down GH, and that super low GH levels (or, conversely, super high GH) can cause false PH testing results.

They recommended that we immediately cycle out 30% of our water and use Equilibrium to focus on getting GH up.

I use a 5 gallon pail to do water changes, and the RO water pours into the pail as produced. We put the equilibrium into the pail with the new RO water, and stir aggressively with a...

Our water softener removes minerals so we needed to add these minerals back for our aquarium. Our softened water is 2 gh which is too low, especially for our snails that need calcium to grow their shells.

Experimented on test water and determined the correct amount of equilibrium to add. According to our API test kit, the gh went from 2 up to 8.

I like that this contains no sodium chloride. Sodium chloride can mess with your fish's electrolytes.

So far this product has worked great.
