Hi guys, I've been doing some research on products I might get for my tank, and came across 3 relatively similar products all made by Seachem, and I'm wondering if anyone knows what each of them do specifically, or how they work together.
The main issues with my tank that I'm looking to solve...
Hi everyone.
I just accidentally dropped one or two drops of seachem reef dip in my tank.
It's around 50 gal total.
Should I do something?
I figured since it's so diluted, I wouldn't have problems.
The tanks is 1 month old and I have a pair of clowns and some GSP.
Thanks
Hello,
I don’t know how exactly all started but I have high ammonia for over 3 weeks now. I’m adding api ammonia lock, prime, api quick start and stability.I did water change 4 times and ammonia is still the same. I had star fish that my puffer was picking all the time and die and one small...
I recently switched from Red Sea dosing products to Seachem products.
I emailed Seachem and they were nice enough to send me a calculator excel sheet on how much to mix with RO water to make a stock solution…
this is where I’m struggling I am now almost double the daily dose of the Seachem...
I am new to Saltwater. I do not have any corals. I have 2 clownfish. Redsea reefer 425.
I keep putting in Alkalinity, Cal, and MG thru apex DOS. The levels keep dropping.
I do an automatic water change of 1.5 gals every day.
I use Classic Sea Salt Mix. Alkalinity - 9-10 dKH (approx) Calcium...
This is about Seachem Clarity and its use for water clarifying. I don't know exactly what it is, but I know a common guess that it is not, and I thought I'd post a little about how it seems to behave.
The manufacturer page describes it as "...the ultimate clarifier for both fresh and saltwater...

I decided to switch to Seachem products, but ran into problems.
First, I am confused by the level of sulfur in fresh water. I used Vibrant salt and sent fresh salted water to ICP-test. The level of SO4 was almost 2 times higher than the norm: 5400 at a norm of 2500.
Secondly, freshly salted...
I'm currently on Day 15 of my cycle and my ammonia reading using a Salifert kit has been sitting at .25 for a good week (nitrites are .1, nitrates are 100, lights have been off, dosed a bottle of Dr. Tim's One and Only on Day 1 and Day 10, and only added ammonia on 3 days as instructed).
My...
I don't want to start a debate on whether or not (and how) Prime detoxifies ammonia. There are plenty of raging debates on that already. I want to ask a purely hypothetical question.
Now, assuming Prime does what it says (remember, we're not here to debate this), would a person be able to...
I'm a relative newbie to dosing and I'm trying to educate myself as much as I can but with limited time to read up on it, I can't make an informed decision on my own right now. I've been dosing with baked baking soda and calcium chloride but I'd like to try Tropic Marin's Carbocalcium because it...

I just treated with focus + kanaplex + metroplex for 14 days then 14 days of copper and now 14 days of observation. During this period, I have been doing frequent water changes bringing copper down to 0.33ppm. I am preparing for 2 melanurus wrasses and I’m wondering how I can get copper to a...
I have a 50G where I mostly keep LPS and tubastrea. But I wanna keep NPS soft corals (i.e. red finger gorgonian) later down the road, so I'd consider this a heavy bioload 50G.

Originally, I only used a skimmer for mechanical filtration so I got an oversized one...
Hello fellow salties,
I finally dipped my toe into the wonderful world of salt. It's a 5g brackish setup so I don't know if it qualifies for the build thread section but nonetheless I love mixing up my bucket of salt and checking it with my refractometer and making sure it matches my tank. It...
I know I will need to test before doing additives. I don't have a LFS nearby and want to get some supplies in advance. My tank has been cycling and I want to be ready as I stock my tank.
What additives should I have on hand for fish, soft, sps, and lps reef tank? I obviously won't have all of...
Hi
I'm debating which HOB filter to buy. I was planning on turning them into DIY refugium with chaeto. I know the Aquaclear filters are super popular for the diy hob refugium but I seriously dislike that it doesn't self-prime. I have yet to see anySeachem tidal refugium diy which is why im...

So i have always kept Cichlids and decided to setup a 20 gal reef tank beside my bed. I bought a 6 gallon setup from a guy which already had fish. Parameters were stable and there was alot of bio media in the mini sump. So I added that to the 20 gal setup. Saw some ammonia last night and my...
So where i live, i can’t find seachem focus for medicating general cure, even online unless i want to ship it overseas. Ive heard plain agar can be used as an alternative. So will it make it reef safe like focus? And how should i prepare it (ratio etc) do i blender the food and make a chunk that...
So, I recently bought a 250ml bottle of Seachem Matrix. It says on the bottle that I should use the whole bottle for 25 Gallons of water. Currently, my water volume is about 13 Gallons. Can I use the whole bottle? Or should I follow the instructions? Also, in which part of the sump should I put...
