The best AQUARIUM POND SALTS in 2024 - Detailed Product Descriptions
1. Seachem Clarity 500ml
More PhotoCLARIFIER: Clarity is the ultimate clarifier for both fresh and saltwater tanks. Clarity will help clear all types of clouding
REEF AND PLANT SAFE: Clarity contains an advanced polymeric flocculating agent that is both reef and plant safe.
MULTI-USE: Clarity is the only clarifier on the market that does it all. Clarity contains both precipitating and flocculating components in the same bottle that will clear and clean all types of cloudiness in all environments.
USE: When Clarity is added to the water, you will see a cloudy haze begin to form. This should be expected and means that Clarity is beginning to work. For optimal performance, Clarity must be used in conjunction with a fine mechanical filtration media such as filter floss.
DIRECTIONS: Use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 80 L (20 US gallons). Rapid clarification will follow (1–2 hours). In the case of chemical or particulate clouding clean filter floss or cartridge after tank clears. If clouding persists, change your fine mechanical filtration media several times before dosing more clarity.

POWERFUL TREATMENT: Seachem Prime is a complete and concentrated conditioner for both freshwater and saltwater fish tanks, working hard to remove chlorine and chloramine.
REMOVER: Seachem Prime immediately and permanently removes chlorine and chloramine, successfully allowing the bio filter to remove ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate while they are detoxified for 48 hours.
DETOXIFIER: Seachem Prime effectively detoxifies ammonia, nitrite, and heavy metals found in the tap water at typical concentration levels, providing a ideal environment for your betta, tetra, or other fish.
USE: Use 1 capful (5 mL) of Seachem Prime for each 200 L (50 US gallons) of new or replacement water. For best results, add Seachem Prime to new water first. For exceptionally high chloramine concentrations, a double dose may be used safely. For smaller volumes, use 2 drops per gallon.
SAFETY: In case of an emergency, the 5x dose of Seachem Prime may be used for both ammonia and nitrite. Use a ½ dose if the water temperature is > 30°C (86°F) and chlorine or ammonia levels are low.
10. Seachem Equilibrium 300gram
MINERALS: Equilibrium is specifically designed to establish the optimal mineral content for the planted aquarium. When this mixture is added to the aquarium it will impart a slight haze that should clear within 15–30 minutes.
EQUILIBRIUM: Does not contain sodium or chloride (which can be detrimental to a planted aquarium at elevated levels).
SUITED FOR: Equilibrium is preferably suited for use with RO (reverse osmosis) and DI (deionized) water or any mineral deficient water.
BALANCE: Equilibrium raises the essential mineral/electrolyte content (General Hardness) of the water to balance with and promote stability of the carbonate hardness.
DIRECTIONS: To raise mineral content/general hardness (GH) by 1 meq/L (3 dH), add 16 g (1 tablespoon) for every 80 L (20 US gallons) when setting up an aquarium or when making water changes (add to new water). It is normal for this product not to dissolve right away and it will not harm the tank. It will dissolve over the course of about 12 hours.
