Seachem Replenish is specially designed to replenish physiologically needed minerals that have been removed during reverse osmosis or deionizing filtration.

• Designed to replenish physiologically needed minerals
• Restore General Hardness (GH) using "soft" and "hard" salts
• Helps prevent sudden death due to osmotic stress

Replenish will restore General Hardness (GH) using "soft" and "hard" salts. This special blend of salts will help prevent sudden death due to osmotic stress which causes osmotic shock.

Dosage: 500 ml (16.9 oz) treats 1,000 gallons.

Directions: Add 5 mL (1 capful) Replenish to 10 Gallons to raise GH by 1 meq/L (2.8 dGH). Recommended restoration level into DI or RO water is 1-2 meq/L which is 5 mL per each 5-10 gallons.

SulfaPlex is an effective and safe treatment for many bacterial, fungal and protozoan infestations in the aquarium. While it can be used in both freshwater and saltwater, it is particularly effective against the common bacterial and fungal infections of freshwater fish. It is also among the gentler antibiotics, and great for treating fish that are already stressed. It is easily removed with carbon and does not impair nitrification.

• Treats Many Bacterial, Fungal, and Protozoan Infestations
• Broad Spectrum Antibiotic and Anti-Fungal Medicatoin
• Absorbed Through Gills
• Marine & Freshwater
• One of the Gentler Antibiotics, Great for Treating Fish that are Already Stressed.

INSTRUCTIONS: Dosing in Water Remove all invertebrates - these are extremely sensitive to medication. Turn off UV filters, ozone filters, and remove chemical filtration like MatrixCarbon and Purigen. Use 2-3 measures (included) per every 40 L (10 US gallons). Repeat this dose every 72 hours for a maximum of 3 weeks. Dosing in Food SulfaPlex is most effective when used in the water, but it can also be added to the food. Feed the medicated food mix (recipe below) every day until the infection clears or up to 3 weeks. 1 scoop SulfaPlex, 1 scoop Focus, 1 tbsp food (preferably pellets or frozen food). A few drops of water if using a dry food. To enhance palatability use with GarlicGuard or Entice. After Treating When the treatment period is over, SulfaPlex can easily be removed using activated filter carbon like MatrixCarbon. It does not linger in the substrate or filter media of the tank.

INGREDIENTS: sulfathiazole (69%) Inactive ingredients: excipients (31%)

Seachem StressGuard is a premium slime coat protector for marine and freshwater aquariums. Using a unique formula, StressGuard reduces fish stress from transportation or handling, promotes healing, and acts as an antiseptic to reduce the risk of infection.

• Premium slime coat protection product for fresh and saltwater aquariums
• Reduces stress when handling or transporting fish
• Promotes healing and acts as an antiseptic for fish

StressGuard is compatible with all non-copper based medications. It is not amine-based and will not interfere with Purigen or HyperSorb, and does not coat resins or clog filtration like other slime coat products can.

What sets StressGuard apart The secret is a protein active colloidal agent that actively seeks out any wounds, abrasions, or exposed proteins, and attaches to the area to deliver disinfectant and begin healing. In the process, the agent also acts as a liquid bandage to keep the abrasion protected. And unlike other slime coats, StressGuard has a pH of 7.0 - meaning it will never interfere with the pH of your aquarium, even when used in large doses.

Directions: Use 1/2–1 capful (2.5–5 mL) to every 10 gallons (40 L) daily until signs of stress have abated or healing is complete. Dose may be safely doubled.

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.

600 grams (1.3 lbs): Treats 1,720 Gallons
1.2 kg (2.6 lbs): Treats 3,440 Gallons
4 kg (8.8 lbs): Treats 11,640 Gallons

Directions: To increase pH, use 1 teaspoon (7g) for every 80 L (20 gallons) daily until the desired pH is reached (this dose raises alkalinity by about 1 meq/L (2.8 dKH)). For precise dosing, use the Seachem Digital Spoon Scale. In order to adjust pH gradually, use Alkaline Buffer with Acid Buffer.

FAQ:

• Q: What is the difference between Neutral Regulator, Discus Buffer, Alkaline Buffer, and Acid Buffer
  A: Neutral Regulator and Discus Buffer are phosphate-based buffers providing a very strong and stable buffering system. Alkaline Buffer and Acid Buffer are non-phosphate buffers, which although less stable than a phosphate buffer, are ideal for the planted aquarium where high phosphate levels would lead to an algae problem.
• Q: Is Alkaline Buffer a sodium bicarbonate
  A: Yes, it is a sodium bicarbonate-based buffer.

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.
