Seachem Acid Buffer is a non-phosphate buffer designed to carefully and quickly lower pH and buffer. It is created specifically for use in planted aquariums or for systems with very hard water where phosphate buffers may pose an algae or cloudiness problem. Acid Buffer lowers pH and buffers between 5.0 and 8.0. As the formula lowers pH it converts carbonate alkalinity (KH) into available CO2 to the benefit of your plants. It may also be used to safely lower pH in marine water.
Seachem Acid Regulator is a non-toxic formula designed to adjust the pH levels within your tank to an acidic range between 4.5-6.8. Additionally, the mix will soften the water by precipitating calcium and magnesium found in the water. Safe for the inhabitants of your tank, Seachem Acid Regulator helps to create the optimal environment for acid acclimated species such as neon tetras, silver dollars and tiger barbs. Suitable for freshwater environments.
No strips, no tests, just constant readings; it's every aquarium owner's dream! Now Ammonia Alert and pH Alert come together in one convenient package, The durable and effective cards employ top of the line Seachem Sensor Technology in which a dedicated sensor changes color reversibly to alert you to even the smallest shifts in ammonia and pH levels respectively.
Simply place the sensor cards anywhere inside of the aquarium or filter, but make sure it is easily visible so you can keep monitoring at all times. It's that easy! No chemicals or test procedures are required to get accurate readings every time. pH Alert lasts 3-6 months, and is suitable for freshwater use only. Ammonia Alert lasts 1 year, and is suitable for freshwater and saltwater applications.
Seachem Algae Pads are professional quality non-scratch algae pads for glass and acrylic aquariums. Made with melamine foam, which utilizes micro-abrasive technology to effortlessly remove algae from the sides of your aquarium. The texture of these pads even removes algae from scratches in aquarium walls.
Chemically inert and made without the use of soaps or detergents, Seachem's Algae Pads will not leave any negative impact on your aquarium. The white colour makes spotting leftover algae simple, allowing you to keep scrubbing until an area is fully clean.
Seachem Alkaline Buffer is a non-phosphate buffer designed specifically to carefully raise pH and alkalinity (KH) levels in freshwater aquarium environments. It is ideal for use in delicate planted aquariums or for very hard water where phosphate buffers may pose an algae or cloudiness problem. The Seachem Alkaline Buffer raises pH and buffers between 7.2 and 8.5. It is gentle, completely pet safe, and greatly enhances the overall water quality of your aquarium environment.
Seachem Ammonia Alert is an innovative colour-changing device designed to continuously detect and monitor toxic free ammonia in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. The incredibly accurate sensor changes reversibly from yellow to green to blue, relative to the specific ammonia concentration inside of the tank. Ammonia is the #1 killer of aquarium inhabitants and the convenient device detects less than 0.05 mg/L (ppm) of free ammonia and alerts aquarium owners so that they can take the proper measures to lower the ammonia levels.
When free ammonia is not present, the unit will take on a yellow or faint yellow-green colour and is normal for the dry sensor to have a greenish hue to it. There is no water sampling, chemicals or test procedures needed, but the dry sensor may take up to a few days to properly calibrate with the parameters of your aquarium water and will last over a year with accurate readings. In the aquarium, the presence of free ammonia is detectable continuously with a response time of approximately 15 minutes. Response to decreasing ammonia is significantly slower, requiring about 4 hours to go from TOXIC to SAFE on the removal of ammonia. The device is half the size of competitive units, ensuring minimal visual obstruction in the aquarium and lasts over 9 times as long.
Properly caring for this unit is essential in maintaining accuracy and reliability over time. The unit can be effectively cleaned with a clean, soft material, yet avoid touching the sensor with fingers as skin oils can damage it. Drying out does not permanently damage the unit, but sensitivity will improve with age as long as the unit does not fully dry out. For the highest level of sensitivity, the device should be read under natural daylight or a daylight simulating light source. Please note that red enhancing light minimizes the intensity of green and blue hues, decreasing the apparent sensitivity of the unit. Some dye medications may discolour the sensor.
Tannins, found in substances like Catappa leaves, offer several benefits in aquariums, making them a popular choice among hobbyists. They have plenty of advantages!
Tannins help to prevent fungal and bacterial infections in fish and their eggs, reducing the risk of disease in the aquarium. By influencing water chemistry, tannins can slow down or even eliminate algae growth, keeping your aquarium cleaner and reducing maintenance. Tannins can also help manage populations of pest snails and crustaceans, which can otherwise become problematic in aquariums.
Fish species that thrive in low pH and soft water conditions will benefit from tannins, often showing more vibrant colours and increased spawning behaviours, and enjoying the shade provided by the leaves. Fry, shrimp, and other small inhabitants find shelter among the leaves, enhancing their survival rates. Many ornamental shrimp species consume biofilm that grows on the decaying leaves, providing a natural food source.

Seachem Catappa Tea Bags bring these benefits in a convenient, mess-free format. They contain whole leaves but are packaged in a small, filter-friendly bag, allowing for easy application and continuous release of tannins into the aquarium without the hassle of dealing with loose leaf debris. Overall, incorporating tannins into your aquarium setup can enhance the health and well-being of your aquatic life while also providing practical benefits for maintenance and habitat enrichment.
