Seachem's Equilibrium
Sent an e-mail to Greg Morin. Asked him the following:
1. Product is packed in solid. I have to scrape it to get any out.
Normal?
2. Product is patchy. Patches of white mixed in with pathes of beige.
3. I added the recommended amount to 20 gallons of water (2 tablespoons)
to get 3kGH. I added an additonal 2 teaspoons to try and get an
additional 1dGH. I measured the final water one day later and the
Aquarium Pharms kit measured ~7dGH (7 drops in 5ml of solution).
4. There seems to be some undissovled material (beige colored) lining
the inside of my garbage can. Not good, as I also use this garbage can
for unaltered RO water that is later put into 5 gallons jugs for
top-off. So, I'm going to have to scour this can clean.
Also, using the LaMotte low iron test kit, I get ~.6ppm. The only
things I added to the RO water were Alkaline Buffer, Equilibrium.
Normally, I've not had any weirdness from Seachem products.
I'd like some input from the group on Equilibrium and my findings.
