Seachem Stability is a scientifically formulated solution designed to quickly and safely establish an aquarium biofilter in both freshwater and saltwater environments, helping to prevent the number one cause of fish death - new tank syndrome.
The formula contains a synergistic blend of aerobic, anaerobic and facultative bacteria that help to aid in the breakdown of potentially harmful waste organics, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. Seachem Stability uses non-sulphur fixing bacteria that will not produce toxic hydrogen sulphide and is completely safe for all aquatic organisms and plants. There is no danger of overuse!
Many other competing products use bacteria that are unstable, and the requirements for their development and growth operate within a limited range of temperatures, pH, organic loads and other variables. If any one of these parameters falls out of the appropriate range, the entire bacterial culture will quickly die, compromising the biological security of your tank as well as causing fish death. But Stability does not have this problem as the conditions for bacterial growth fall into a much larger range. Additionally, when other various bacteria start to die (most often from the high organic load caused by the death of a fish, plant or other organisms) Stability will actually become more effective in establishing new biofilters.
Seachem Clarity is a top-of-the-line water clarifier that is suitable for use in both fresh and saltwater environments. The scientifically formulated solution employs a highly advanced polymeric flocculating agent that is completely safe for all delicate reefs, corals and live plants.
When adding Seachem Clarity to the water column, a cloudy hazy will begin to form. This means the solution is beginning to work and is effectively clumping together small particulate matter into large enough pieces (which will become increasingly visible) that can be eliminated from the aquarium via mechanical filtration.
Seachem StressGuard is a high-quality formula designed to reduce stress and ammonia toxicity when going through the aggravating process of handling and transporting fish. As well, the solution acts like an antiseptic liquid bandage for fish, using protein active colloids to securely bind to exposed wound proteins to encourage proper healing and as a way to effectively reduce the likelihood of recurring secondary infections.
StressGuard is not amine-based and helps to protect the essential slime coat of fish. The formula is compatible with all medications, except those that are copper-based, and has no negative impact to delicate pH balances in the aquarium. Protect your fish from cuts, scrapes, abrasions and infections.
Seachem Tidal 110 MatrixCarbon is the ideal powerful chemical filter media for freshwater aquariums. The high-efficiency material is made up of activated carbon that has been formed into a spherical bead for optimum hydrodynamics. It will not pack together, and combined with high density macroporous binding sites, ensures a consistent flow and contact of water at all times.
Features a very low ash content, which means it has a minimal impact on the pH levels within your tank, and even in distilled water, the pH will not raise about 7.0. Compared to other carbon filter media on the market, MatrixCarbon has the lowest detectable leachable phosphate content and outperforms other carbons but at least twofold in the capacity to remove organic matter, rates of absorption and duration of use.
This material acts not only as a chemical filter but as a unique mechanical filter as well, though it is only capable of filtering objects of molecular size. Featuring extremely minute cracks and crevices called macropores and micropores, the microporous carbon removes primarily metals and small ions such as trace minerals and is well suited for air filtration, while macroporous carbons remove primarily larger organic molecules (like nitrogenous waste) and are best suited to water filtration.
All plants require a source of carbon and Flourish Excel is a simple source of readily available organic carbon that directly benefits the growth and overall development of a wide variety of aquatic plants. Typically carbon comes from CO2, but it can also be derived from simple organic compounds such as photosynthetic intermediates, which are found in this formula.
Now, this isn't to say that using one would negate the other efficacy, on the contrary! Due to the fact that processes surrounding the production and development of photosynthetic intermediates occur simultaneously, aquarists are able to achieve substantial benefits when using both Seachem Flourish Excel in addition to in-tank CO2 injections. The combination of these two carbon-based additives is well suited for situations when continuing to add CO2 could result in dangerously low pH levels within the aquarium. Additionally, the solution has efficient iron reducing properties which promote the ferrous state of iron (Fe+2), which is more easily utilized by aquatic plants than ferric iron (Fe+3).
CO2 is needed to produce longer chain carbon compounds known as photosynthetic intermediates that contain compounds such as ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, and 2-carboxy-3-keto-D-arabinitol 1,5 bisphosphate. In layman's terms, Seachem Flourish Excel does not contain these exact compounds, but ones that are quite similar, allowing you to bypass the involvement of CO2 by introducing already finished, structurally similar compounds to the benefit of your delicate aquatic plants.
Seachem Purigen is a tool that every hobbyist, both beginner and advanced, should have in their aquatic tool kit. It is a scientifically formulated premium synthetic adsorbent that is not a mixture of ion exchangers or adsorbents, but a unique macro-porous synthetic polymer that removes soluble and insoluble impurities from both freshwater and saltwater at a rate and capacity that exceeds all other competitive products by over 500%.
The formula helps to control ammonia, nitrites and nitrates by removing nitrogenous organic waste that would build up and release harmful chemicals into your aquarium water column, negatively impacting all aquatic life within the aquarium. Though Purigen's impact on beneficial trace elements is minimal, it significantly raises redox and polishes water with unparalleled clarity.
Seachem Purigen's ability to clear haziness and polish water is unparalleled in the market today. Unlike other available competitive products which are just basic ion-exchange resins, this solution is specifically designed to be an organic scavenging resin and generally ignores simple elemental compounds, having an extreme affinity for nitrogenous organics. Nitrogenous compounds come from aquarium waste produced by fish, coral, as well as plants. The Purigen beads are uniquely spherical and macro-reticular in shape and the increased surface area provides an enhanced capacity with microscopic pores that increase its usable surface area to many times that of other products on the market, which are made of purely spherical resin. The versatile product can be used in a wide variety of filtration applications such as in a canister filter, media chamber, box filter, or any high flow area of a trickle filter.
To add to the already incredibly functionality of this product, Purigen can actually be regenerated to retain efficiency and effectiveness in the long term. As it adsorbs waste products, the beads will change colour from a pale blonde to a dark brown, nearly black coloration. Once it is exhausted, it can be regenerated with a solution of bleach and water. The bleach will literally "burn off" the organics that have been removed from the tank. Watch out for products that claim to be regenerable with a brine solution. That is the regeneration procedure for ion-exchange purposes. Brine solutions will not remove necessary harmful organics. While such resins have a limited capacity for organic adsorption, a brine regeneration process only replaces removed ionic compounds and it does not destroy large organic molecules that were removed, which is the primary function of organic adsorption resins in the first place.
Seachem Prime is a concentrated conditioner designed to remove harmful chemicals such as chlorine and chloramine from freshwater and saltwater aquariums. The pet-safe formula detoxifies ammonia, nitrites and nitrates and provides essential ions and contributes to the production of a natural slime coat.
Seachem Prime is five times more concentrated than competing products and will also detoxify any heavy metals found in the tap water at typical concentration levels. Aquarists can rest assured knowing that the solution is non-acidic and will not impact delicate pH balances in the aquarium, and reef hobbyists specifically will appreciate the fact that Prime will not over-activate skimmers.
Prime is the perfect addition to any tank during cycling as it effectively alleviates ammonia and nitrite toxicity as the formula contains a binder that renders ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate non-toxic, allowing the biofilter to more efficiently remove them permanently. Perfect for new tanks and whenever you are adding or replacing water.
Seachem Flourite Black is a substrate of the highest quality. Composed of specially fracted stable porous clay gravel designed specifically for use in natural planted aquariums. The mineral-rich gravel is an attractive deep black colour that is not chemically treated or coated and will not alter the delicate pH balances within the tank. The gravel is most effective when used on its own, but it may also be mixed with other types of substrates without any negative reaction. Gravel modifiers such as laterite are not necessary for the success of this gravel
Seachem Pristine is a natural organic waste management solution that has been designed to quickly and safely eliminate sludge and detritus from both freshwater and saltwater environments. Using bio-augmentation, a chemical-free and natural way to improve aquarium water quality, the formula is able to provide essential bacteria that efficiently break down excess food, waste and detritus in addition to reducing excess nutrients such as harmful ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites that tend to fuel the growth of problematic, disease-causing organisms.
The species of bacteria found in Seachem Pristine is a unique blend that has been developed specifically for their improved hardiness and their ability to quickly adapt to a wide range of aquarium conditions such as harsh or low oxygen environments. These bacteria thrive in both fresh and saltwater, making use of a wide variety of organic compounds such as the fats that cause unsightly films across the top of water, and other aquarium ornaments or plants. The biopolymers produced by the established bacterial colonies are effective at trapping particulates within the water column leading to a significant improvement in water clarity.
Seachem Flourish Glue is a remarkably strong and versatile adhesive that rapidly secures moss and live aquatic plants to aquarium surfaces such as driftwood, rocks, and even gravel. This specially formulated cyanoacrylate gel bonds in seconds and provides exceptional control, hold, and durability in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
It works extremely well for planting bunch plants such as Bacopa, Cobomba and Hygrophila, and for greater functionality and ease of use, it can even be applied underwater. Seachem Flourish Glue is incredibly easy to use. Just apply a small amount to your moss or plant roots immediately before planting to enjoy secure, near-permanent placement and form. While primarily developed for aquatic planting, this versatile adhesive is also great for general-purpose aquascaping and plastic repairs for intake tubing or ornaments.
The glue has been packaged in aluminum tubes to maintain stability, as well as ensuring the glue will not dry up in the tube.
