Seachem Acid Buffer is a non-phosphate buffer to lower pH and buffer with Alkaline Buffer. Both buffers are designed for the planted aquarium or for very hard water where phosphate buffers may pose an algae or cloudiness problem.
- Lowers aquarium pH and buffers from 6.0 to 8.0
- Converts alkalinity into CO2
- For the planted aquarium or very hard water
Seachem Acid Buffer lowers pH and buffers between 5.0 and 8.0 when used with Alkaline Buffer. As Acid Buffer lowers pH it converts carbonate alkalinity (KH) into available CO2. It may also be used to safely lower pH in marine water.
Directions: To lower pH, use 1/4 teaspoon (2g) for every 80 L (20 US gallons) daily until desired pH is reached (this dose lowers alkalinity by about 0.2 meq/L (0.6 dKH)). Larger doses may be required in very hard (KH) or alkaline waters.
Seachem Filter Socks remove suspended particulates from the water column down to 100 microns, providing exceptional purity and water quality. These socks are built to last, with durable welded seams and a singed finish to reduce wear and prevent the reintroduction of debris to your aquarium.
- Unparalleled particulate removal for outstanding water quality
- Durable welded seams reduces wear
- 100 micron rating traps even the smallest debris
- Plastic collar fits standard sump fittings for easy installation
100 Micron Rating. One micron is on millionth of a meter (or one thousandth of a millimeter). These socks have a mesh size of 100 microns, allowing them to trap even the smallest particles and debris.
Easy Installation and Maintenance. Rinse before use. Fit Seachem Filter Sock into any standard sump or overflow system made for collared filter socks. Remove as necessary for cleaning. Under normal use, cleaning can be accomplished by simply rinsing with a high-pressure hose. For more aggressive cleaning, soak in 1:10 solution of bleach and water for 24 hours and then rinse thoroughly with a high-pressure hose. It can also be cleaned in a standard clothes washing machine; wash on a moderate setting with a cup of bleach added to the wash cycle. Once the normal rinse cycle is complete, Seachem Filter Sock is ready for use.
Sizing:
Small: 10 x 30 cm / 4" x 12" (10 cm / 4' plastic collar)
Large: 17.5 x 40.5 cm / 7" x 16" (17.5 cm / 7" plastic collar).
Seachem Prime is the complete and concentrated conditioner for both fresh and saltwater aquariums. Use during startup and water changes to eliminate and detoxify harmful chemicals in tap water and make your aquarium safe for fish.
- Removes chlorine, chloramine and toxic ammonia
- Detoxifies nitrite and nitrate
- Provides protective slime coat
Prime is safe for fresh and saltwater aquariums. It detoxifies ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, allowing the biofilter to more efficiently remove them. Use Sechem Prime to detoxify any heavy metals found in the tap water at typical concentration levels. Prime also promotes the production and regeneration of the natural slime coat. Seachem Prime is non-acidic, will not impact pH and will not overactivate skimmers.
Use at startup and whenever adding or replacing water. Prime may also be used during tank cycling to alleviate ammonia/nitrite toxicity.
Directions: Use 1 capful (5 ml) for each 200 L (50 gallons) of new water. This removes approximately 1 mg/L ammonia, 4 mg/L chloramine, or 5 mg/L chlorine. For smaller doses, please note each cap thread is approx. 1 ml.
Tips: May be added to aquarium directly, but better if added to new water first. If adding directly to aquarium, base dose on aquarium volume. Sulfur odor is normal. For exceptionally high chloramine concentrations, a double dose may be used safely. To detoxify nitrite in an emergency, up to 5 times normal dose may be used. If temperature is > 30 °C (86 °F) and chlorine or ammonia levels are low, use a half dose.
