Product Information
Full details
Seachem Replenish is an essential water treatment for aquarium hobbyists using reverse osmosis (RO) or deionizing (DI) filtration systems, as well as those living in areas with naturally soft tap water. This proprietary blend of salts restores General Hardness (GH) to provide physiologically relevant minerals, preventing osmotic stress and pH instability in fish. While highly effective at mineral replenishment, users must monitor GH levels carefully with a test kit to avoid over-dosing, especially when keeping sensitive species like discus.

FAQs
Can I use Seachem Replenish in a saltwater aquarium?
No, this product is designed specifically for freshwater environments and will not provide the necessary mineral profile required for marine or reef tanks.
Does Replenish remove chlorine from tap water?
No, Replenish only adds minerals. You must use a water conditioner like Seachem Prime to remove chlorine and chloramines.
How often do I need to dose Replenish?
You should add Replenish every time you perform a water change using RO/DI water or if your tap water tests extremely low in general hardness.
Will this affect my aquarium pH?
While it doesn't directly target pH, restoring mineral content provides a buffer that helps stabilize pH and prevents the rapid drops often seen in mineral-depleted water.
Can I use this with Seachem Equilibrium?
Generally, you should choose one or the other based on your needs. Equilibrium is primarily for planted tanks to provide potassium and other trace elements, while Replenish is a more direct GH-only solution for general water mineral restoration.
Troubleshooting
GH levels are not rising as expected
Verify the total volume of water being treated and ensure the measuring cap is accurate. Consider using a calibrated GH test kit to verify the reading.
Water appears cloudy after dosing
Ensure the product is fully dissolved in the new water before pouring it into the tank. Adding the product too quickly or in areas of low flow can cause temporary cloudiness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use Seachem Replenish, shake the bottle well before each use. Add the required amount to your new water bucket or storage container, stir briefly to ensure the salts are fully dissolved, and then add the treated water to your aquarium. It is fully compatible with most aquarium freshwater fish and plants but should not be used in saltwater or reef systems. Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the product is kept out of reach of children and pets. When adjusting GH, always do so gradually over several days if making significant changes to the existing aquarium water to prevent shocking the livestock.
