Seachem Reef Fusion 2 is specially formulated to supply your tank with the essential carbonates, bicarbonates and alkalinity to help your corals grow. This is the second of the Reef Fusion system that helps maintain proper alkalinity for a healthy live reef environment.

• Maintains proper alkalinity levels for healthy coral growth
• 2-part Reef Fusion system maintains calcium and alkalinity levels
• Supplies tank with needed carbonates, bicarbonates and alkalinity

Reef Fusion 2 contains a mixture of carbonates and bicarbonates at an alkalinity of 4400 meq/L. It is designed to restore and maintain alkalinity in the reef aquarium and provide calcareous species with the essential carbonate needed for growth.

Directions: Dose aquarium every 1-2 days. Shake well before using. Add 1 ml of Reef Fusion 1 per 25 L (6.5 US gallons) of water. (For reference purposes, the cap holds 5 ml.) Add this to a high current area of the tank. Wait a few minutes, then add Reef Fusion 2 in the same manner, 1 ml per 25 L (6.5 US gallons), after shaking well. It is preferred that the two products be added to separate locations in the tank. This dose contributes 4 mg/L of calcium, and 0.176 meq/L of alkalinity. Never mix Reef Fusion 1 with Reef Fusion 2 directly.

Note: Do not exceed a dose of 4 ml in 25 L (6.5 US gallons) per day of each product.

Maintain calcium level between 410-430 mg/L. Maintain alkalinity between 4-6 meq/L. Size or frequency of dose may be increased if dosing regimen is insufficient to maintain calcium and alkalinity in these ranges.

Cichlid Trace supplies a broad range of trace elements demonstrated to be necessary for proper sh health and growth. Unlike terrestrial animals, fish obtain nutrients from both their food and environment. Trace elements are normally depleted by utilization, oxidation and precipitation, thus it is important to restore them on a regular basis. Cichlid Trace contains only those elements actually demonstrated to be required by fish.

Seachem Reef Plus is a full spectrum reef supplement containing trace elements, vitamins, and amino acids demonstrated to have a positive impact on the growth of corals and other desirable reef creatures.

• Concentrated vitamin and amino acid supplement
• Use 10mL for every 40 gallons of saltwater
• For saltwater aquarium use only

Seachem Reef Plus is formulated to provide nutrients available from natural tropical reef waters. Contains vitamin B12, vitamin C, thiamine, inositol, choline, iodide, and other essential constituents at pH 8.3. Reef Plus is nitrate/phosphate free.

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.

Seachem Reef Builder supplies the carbonates and calcium which are essential for all coral growth. It also raises carbonate alkalinity without immediately impacting water pH, and will stabilize aquarium water at pH 8.3 with long term use.

• Raises carbonate alkalinity (KH) with minimal pH impact
• Provides a blend of carbonate sources that will not lower pH
• Will not deplete calcium, magnesium, or strontium
• Promotes healthy coral growth

If either calcium or carbonates become deficient, coral growth will cease, followed by a rapid decline in coral health. Used as directed, Seachem Reef Builder will not deplete calcium, magnesium, or strontium which usually tend to precipitate with increasing alkalinity.

Seachem Reef Builder and Reef Buffer may be used together: use Reef Builder to raise carbonate alkalinity without affecting pH, and use Reef Buffer to raise carbonate alkalinity and pH. As a general rule, reef alkalinity should be maintained at 3?

Seachem Marine Buffer will safely raise the pH of saltwater to 8.3, and will not raise the pH above 8.3 even if overdosed. Marine Buffer is a blended product, and contains sodium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and potassium salts to provide effective results.

• Safely raises and maintains saltwater pH to 8.3
• More stable than sodium bicarbonate or sodium bicarbonate substitutes
• Will not raise pH above 8.3 even if inadvertently overdosed

Seachem Marine Buffer is not just sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate (commonly sold as a substitute), as these products can raise pH to dangerous levels if not used properly. Instead it includes a variety of minerals and potassium salts of carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate, and borate for safe, accurate dosing.

Directions: Add 5g (1 level teaspoon) for each 20 gallons (80 L). Dissolve in at least one cup of freshwater. This dose will also raise alkalinity by about 1 meq/L. Add daily until pH stabilizes at 8.3. This will take from a day to a week, depending on original pH and alkalinity. Thereafter, use biweekly or monthly to maintain a pH of 8.3. If this practice is not adequate, then overstocking, overfeeding, or other poor management practice should be sought as a likely cause. In ionically balanced marine water, Marine Buffer produces little precipitate or cloudiness. If an extensive precipitate forms upon addition of Marine Buffer that does not dissolve within about 15 minutes, then poor ionic balance was present. A water change should be initiated when convenient before further use of the product. Effectiveness improves with continued use. Do not directly mix with any calcium, magnesium, or strontium supplement.

Note: Product is sold by weight, not volume. Contents may settle in shipment.

SeaChem Discus Buffer helps to replicate the ideal Discus environment (low pH and low GH (General Hardness)). Discus Buffer will lower pH and keep it lowered. Discus Buffer also softens water by precipitating calcium and magnesium.

• Adjusts pH to 5.8 - 6.8
• Helps to replicate the ideal Discus environment
• Softens water by precipitating calcium and magnesium

Use SeaChem Discus Trace to restore the proper level of trace elements required by thriving, healthy Discus.

Directions: Use 1 level teaspoon (7 g) for every 40-80 L (10-20 gallons) daily until intended pH is reached. Thereafter, use once a month or with water changes as required to maintain pH

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 Alkaline Buffer raises the pH and alkalinity (KH) of your aquarium water and holds it steady between 7.2 and 8.5 - an ideal range for most freshwater environments. Alkaline Buffer is safe, gentle, and phosphate-free to reduce the risk of algae or cloudiness.

• Raises pH and increases alkalinity
• Buffers pH between 7.2 and 8.5
• Great for planted aquariums or very hard water

Seachem Alkaline Buffer is a sodium bicarbonate-based buffer. This makes it slightly less stable than phosphate buffers, but better suited for planted aquariums where adding more phosphates would lead to an algae problem.
